First taste of custard apple
« on: February 04, 2014, 09:09:08 PM »
couldn't place the taste but after my daughter said 'that's really familiar' i thought about it some more and realized it was fruit loops!

loved it.

nm. pretty sure it was cherimoya (cherimola?) not reticulata.

Shane, at this time of the year in California, that must be a Cherimoya. No photos?

Exactly. My reticulata fruits won't be ready until late June or July.

the one i didn't eat yet:



reason i thought it wasn't cherimoya is that i haven't had that taste before and the store (Miramar Cash & Carry) had it labelled custard apple.

From pictures online, I'm guessing Honeyheart or Pierce.

those protuberances make it impossible to ID. It is definitely a cherimoya my second crop of custard apples(first crop dried up last month during the 90F, 5% humidity heatwave) wont be ready until June.

here are pics of custard apples

Thera, it's normal. The Cuban Red has lost some but the Hunucma Amarillo and Sarteneja look as good as they did in summer.
