Best
described as tasting like a Custard apple, but juicier they have a pleasant fragrance and can be eaten fresh or chilled. Fruit is large green with 'dimples', sort of strawberry shaped, and heavy. Fruit is ready to pick when it begins to lighten in color a little, they ripen further after harvest. Best not refrigerated, a cool store is more appropriate.
A humus rich well drained soil is best, protection from frost is essential and remember that some varieties need to be hand pollinated for best fruit production. For successful growth these trees require moisture especially during the growing season.
Pruning is advisable as the branches are a little prone to snap under the weight of fruit if left to grow to long. Use normal practices here, remove crossover branches, cut back new growthon Cherimoya by 1/2 or more.
