I've had some from a friend in California a few times and they were all wonderful. Unfortunately, they were unnamed varieties. The only others I've tried have been store bought. $4.99/lb and the quality is hit and miss...more miss. However, as I am writing this, I am munching on a store bought fruit now and it is pretty damn good.

I have several seedlings going and one is a few years or so old. A very considerate member from a California forum was kind enough to send me four varieties of cuttings. I grafted four of the different cuttings onto the big seedling, and then one of each onto the smaller seedlings. They are all already pushing growth. Hopefully they will succeed.

Here are the varieties he sent me along with a description from CRFG:

El Bumpo
Origin Rudy Haluza, Villa Park, Calif., 1986. Fruit conical, medium size, mammillated, not suited for commerce. Skin soft, practically edible. Flavor among the finest.

Nata
Origin George Emerich, Fallbrook, Calif., 1983. From Ecuadorian seed. Tree vigorous, bears quickly, flowers profuse, tendency to self-pollinating. Fruits smooth, light green, conical, 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 pounds. Skin thin, tender. Flavor has good sweet-acid balance.

Pierce (syns. Knight, Escondido White, Ryerson, Thomson-Spain, & Bayott)
Believed to be from a group of scions imported from Mexico in the 1930's by a Mr. Knight of Orange. Dr. H. F. Pierce planted a grove in Goleta in that period made up largely of trees produced by Knight. This cultivar was Dr. Pierce's favorite and was named "Pierce" by him. Tree is vigorous with large dark green leaves. Fruit is medium sized elongated conically shaped with very smooth skin and a high sugar content.

Sabor
Origin James Neitzel, San Diego, Calif., 1979. Sibling of "Big Sister". Fruit mammillated, varies in size, not usually large. Among the best in flavor.

In the south of Spain, we grow Fino de Jete, this variety is considerated the best of the world, it`s a selection of local area Jete. The 90% of the planted trees are of this variety. It is rustic and productive light-colored and resistant to transport. Harvested from September to late January. The fruits are large amounts of sugar.

Fino de Jete, has a differential morphological, and genetic bromatological about cherimoya varieties cultivated worldwide, primarily in Chile (Concha Lisa and Tan), U.S. (White, Bonita Chaffey and Riverside) and Anon that other species are marketed throughout the world, such as atemoya (African Pride in Australia).
