0 a fruit with rough green skin, soft white flesh, and large black seeds that grows especially in Central America, or the small tree that produces this fruit. It is a kind of custard apple:
The cherimoya is my favourite fruit. The flavour is somewhere between a passionfruit and a pear.
The cherimoya is ripe when it is soft to touch and the outside turns a darker colour.
The cherimoya is subtropical, growing in tropical countries only at considerable elevations, where the climate is cool.
