Tree description: a cross between the Cherimoya (annona cherimola) and the Custard apple (Annona reticulata), the Cherilata is a small to medium tree that grows 15-20 feet in height and spread. It has slender branches with an upright growth. 

The Cherilata was created by John Painter of Pine Island, Florida. The Cherilata fruit has a smooth red exterior and resembles a red custard apple on the outside. The flesh is firm and slightly grainy with unique and pleasant notes reminiscent of berries such as mulberries and raspberries.

The Cherilata fruits late winter through early spring.
