chirimoya

In Lima the Chirimoya is comparatively small, often only the size of an orange.

The chirimoya is not so generally cultivated in the colonies as the preceding species, although the fruit is excellent.

Of the same family as the chirimoya is the guanabana (Anona muricata), or sour sop, an unattractive name for so delicious a fruit.

All the houses are surrounded by fruit trees—orange, lemon, lime, ahuacate and chirimoya.

For these three minutes I have been standing close by you, with this freshly gathered chirimoya, and you took no notice of me.
