Fino de Jete Cherimoya

Annona cherimola

(Grafted)Cherimoya is a dense, fast-growing, broad leaved tree to 30 feet, native to Central America. The spreading arms of the trees begin low on the trunk, for all purposes evergreen but deciduous in California. In North America, the flowers are best pollinated by hand. At maturity, the fruit turns a pale green or creamy yellow color.

The Fino de Jete (or Fina de Jete) variety has a sweet, acidic flavor akin to a combination of banana, pineapple, and strawberry flavors. The variety originates from Jete, a town in the Granada area in Mediterranean Spain. The Fino de Jete fruit may be more heart-shaped compared to other varieties, and black speckles may appear under the skin. Some say it has fewer seeds in the mature fruit.
