I got a chance to try anona rosada for the first time last night.  It was refreshingly delightful.  Nice creamy texture with a berry tone.  Thank you JF!

I tried the other half today... chilled.  WOW!  Just like berry yogurt.  Even the wife and older daughter enjoyed it.  In fact, my wife liked anona rosada better than a cherimoya.

This does not surprise me. A good SoCal grown rosada will give top tier moyas fits in a tasting. As moyas get harder to grow in our climate we should transition to atemoyas and ilams

Those Anona rosada are beautiful! Nice to see they are productive thus year.  Are those the leaves from this variety in the background?  So different from Genova Red and my Tiggy.

Hi JF, do all these varieties cracked when they are ripe?

When an ilama cracks, pick it.  Never pick an ilama before it cracks.

From your experience, how late can an Ilama fruit ripen in California before the cold nights effect the taste in a negative way?  Is December usually the dividing line between good quality and poor quality fruit by January or early February?

I think we have reached that point. I have 8 left I don't expect them to sweeten up much

Good information for me to know.  Now I understand why you suggest we get Ilama to bloom as early as possible.  I have one fruit on the unknown "Twiggy" Ilama that is at least a few weeks away from ripening. I didn't get flowers to open until the end of July this year, so it looks like it won't be ripen until late January or February...if it even ripens at all.  The fruit have picked up some speed in growth this month, but now we are getting cold nights, so I fear the fruit quality will go down.  At least I have learned something about how the plant cycles through the flowering and fruiting stages. ;D
