Ilama is a rare tropical fruit tree from Mesoamerica that produces large, delicious fruits related to the cherimoya, with pink or white flesh. It grows best in a warm, frost-free climate with well-draining slightly acidic soil and full sun to partial shade. Trees are slow to fruit, often taking 4-7 years from seed, making grafted specimens highly desirable for collectors.
