How was the Cumbe? There was a variety native to Peru that they sold at the local markets. I forget what the name of that variety is but I thought it was Cumbe or something similar. I remember the fruit was very large.

Raul also has a sale thread of some giant Cherimoya that I would love to get a hold of if the fruit tastes good.

Cumbe is considered, by Peruvians, to be the best cherimoya or annona in the world. My tree is 3 years old and so far it seems very promising. We have a lot of top tiers moyas so it’s very difficult for an anona to break in the upper echelon. Cumbe and La Habra Sun appear to be strong contenders and top tier anonas

I seem to recall reading that Cumbe might possibly bear fruit in Florida.  Does that sound like a possibility or just wishful thinking?  La Habra Sun should definitely work in Florida, being an atemoya.

Cumbe is definitely a good fruit.

More flesh than seeds & has a balance flavor. No bitter aftertaste.
