 95/ Uvaria chamame, bush banana (related to Annonas)

This has fruit that looks like a bunch of bananas. It struggles to thrive bc it comes from central Africa and wants year-round around tropical weather. This is a nearly 2 yro plant and it’s only looking pretty good this year. I will persist but I don’t recommend trying it unless you can give it ultra-tropical conditions. Otherwise it’s relatively pest free. I also grew the African wild custard apple but it died from 🥶 (winter 50’sF).
