White
A tier
White is a California cherimoya cultivar named for pale flesh and skin cast—juicy, sweet, and aromatic with the crop’s trademark tropical-pear custard profile. Fruit shape is broadly conical; seed count is typical. It complements Bays in mixed coastal plantings with slightly different ripening windows and mouthfeel. Ripen to soft-yield before serving chilled. Bruising shows easily on lighter skin—pack with care. Fresh dessert use dominates. Pulp freezes for smoothies if seeds are sieved out first.
