Custard Apple

The cherimoya (Annona cherimola), also spelled chirimoya and called chirimuya by the Inca people, is a species of edible fruit-bearing plant in the genus Annona, from the family Annonaceae, which includes the closely related sweetsop and soursop. The plant has long been believed to be native to South and Central America.

Cherimoya is grown in tropical regions throughout the world, as well as in Spain. It is also grown in Calabria in southern Italy. The creamy texture of the flesh gives the fruit its secondary name, the custard apple.

Annona cherimola is a fairly dense, fast-growing, woody, briefly deciduous but mostly evergreen, low-branched, spreading tree or shrub, 5 to 9 metres (16 to 30 ft) tall.
The edible cherimoya fruit is a large, green, conical or heart-shaped compound fruit, 10–20 centimetres (3.9–7.9 in) long, with diameters of 5–10 centimetres (2.0–3.9 in), and skin that gives the appearance of having overlapping scales or knobby warts. They ripen to brown with a fissured surface in late winter and early spring; they weigh on the average 150–500 grams, but extra large specimens may weigh 2.7 kilograms (6.0 lb) or more.
