I was fortunate to ate some fruits. Tastes more like Sugar apple with a hint of Cherimoya.
Bigger than (200 - 400g) than ordinary Sugar apple with few bigger seeds. Flesh is smooth, with some grittiness.
Far better than Sugar apple, but not good as Chrimoya. The plant grows and fruit prolifically in tropics and sub-tropics.
