Cherimoya Bluing Inside
dmwong93:
Had an interesting cherimoya from seed have blue/purple pigmentation. It seems to only occur where the skin on outside is damaged/bruised. What are some thoughts?
Longranger:
Looks like sunburn damage. Happens mostly to fruit on young trees with sparse foliage.
dmwong93:
Possibly, but the fruit were in the middle of the tree. Was just amazed at the blue/purple coloring.
Oolie:
Phytophthora capsicii?

Its special flavor adding mold like blue cheese. Yum...
The growth on the skin under the coin is from cold and wet weather I think. I noticed late season fruit gets fungal damage during wet winter.
