Hi all. A friend who lives on the other side of the mountain range and at a higher altitude brought us this (and one other, now eaten) annona fruit, calling it a chirimoya, (though as has been mentioned I get the impression that in Spanish speaking countries more than one fruit can carry that name), from a seedling tree he has. His tree is loaded with fruit, no hand pollination or special treatment whatsoever. It was the first of these fruits I and my husband had tried and it was DIVINE. We ate it with a spoon - smooth, creamy, fiberless flesh, super sweet and with like 7 different flavors going on - amazing. We can't wait for this next one to soften up.
One, can you tell from the pictures what this is? Also, I have a couple of El Bumpo cherimoya seedlings (seeds from Trade Winds) that could be fruiting age in a year, but I'm wondering if it's cool enough where we are. We're at just short of 1000m. Cool nights, even chilly in Dec-Jan. But if guanabana can fruit there does that mean that cherimoya can't?
