Annona scleroderma, commonly known as cawesh or poshe-te, is a species of tree in the Annonaceae family. It is native to the Atlantic coast of Central America, from Mexico and Guatemala to Honduras. The tree can reach 15 to 20 meters tall and produces an edible fruit the size of an orange with a creamy banana-pineapple flavor and a soft texture. Its tough skin makes it easy to handle. It takes about four years for a tree grown from seed to produce any fruit, and it is not widely cultivated outside of certain parts of Guatemala.
