This tree is known by various other names such as custard apple tree, chirimoya, and chirimolla tree. In some countries, it is also called the ice cream tree due to the creamy texture of its edible fruit. The tree can grow up to 35 feet tall and has large, glossy leaves. Its fruit is green and heart-shaped, with a sweet and juicy white pulp. The cherimoya tree is prized for its delicious fruit and is widely cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
