331 Cherimoya Annona cherimola The cherimoya, also spelled chirimoya, is the fruit of the species Annona cherimola, which generally is thought to be native to the Andes, although an alternative hypothesis proposes Central America as the origin of cherimoya because many of its wild relatives occur in this area. Today cherimoya is grown throughout South Asia, Central America, South America, Southern California and southern Andalucia [La Axarquia]. 506198 Cherimoya 331.jpg image/jpeg 381567 2012-04-20T09:35:54Z 358 Fruits Tropical fruits Type 1 2011-02-09T00:37:35Z 2019-05-14T18:04:23Z false specific 49314 true FOOD00326
