Mystery Cherimoya

[BoBiscuit]

Any guesses as to what variety of 'moya this is? Its from my neighbor's tree, and weighs in at just under 2 lbs. This is an average size fruit for his tree, and I've seen a few of them get twice as big. It has a bubble gum flavor, not too sweet and a little grainy. The tree gets no irrigation but somehow manages to grow like crazy and produce these big fruits on 10 inches of rainfall a year....

Does he hand-pollinate?

Does he hand-pollinate?

What does that have to do with anything?

Size and productivity can be effected by it so it would cool if it were that productive without hand pollination.

Thanks, CDude.  My thoughts exactly.

My guess would be Booth, due to the bubble gum (Juicy Fruit) flavor

Ahhh...clearly answers and directly related to the original question of "what variety is it?"

No! He does nothing to this tree. The tree is huge, and the flowers get pollinated somehow!
