Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- White-fleshed cherimoya, the textbook custard fruit. Sweet, melting, and full of seeds.
- Ripens
- Same season and same caveat as the red: fall fruit when the summer lets it, ripened off the tree.
- Zones
- Zones 9b to 11, with the honest note that coastal California is easier than inland Naples heat.
- Hardiness
- Protect from frost and from scorching, stagnant humidity. It is the diva of this group.
- Size
- Keep it small so you can reach flowers to pollinate.
- Tips
- We have it in 15- and 7-gallon pots. Both are local pickup or delivery, not parcel ship.
- Pollination
