When I read that I wondered if cheremoya fruit might grow in the Bay 
area. A search quickly turned up a pdf from the Rare Fruit Growers group 
and it is on there list about "Fruit Growing In The San Fransico  Area." 
(title of the pdf.)

Hand pollinating the plant with Q-tips might be a bother (although some 
varieties don't need this, as I just discovered) , and the fruit 
apparently doesn't travel well (bruises really easily or something), but 
it might be worth it because, according to a quote from the Oxford 
English Dictionary, this is the best tasting fruit in the world. Or at 
least one of them. Of course, that's a subjective statement from one 
individual, and should be taken for what it's worth. An opinion. I 
haven't tried one but the statement intrigued me. I suppose it is 
available from some specialty stores or farmers' market somewhere in the 
area.
Being the, uh, needy exotic it is, I suspect the price is quite high...

Cheers,
