Thanks thanks thanks, to everybody helped me in finding Annona salzmannii seeds. 1 year spent looking for this treasure and finally, I got it from one of the most friendly guy I found in Brasil. I will thank him till the end of time...

You may imagine how many speculators found me before finding this honest guy who simply had in his garden the fruiting tree..

These are the gems..

Annonidium mannii
Annona spraguei
Duguetia lepidota
Annona neosalicifolia
Annona rugulosa
Annona tomentosa

Salzmanii is a rare fruit.
I believe that I know about who you´re talking about, and I think the same about him.

Giampaolo,
when our A.salzmannii will sprout you must teach us bonsai-making of this giant Annona.

Thanks Adam,

I hope I will get seedlings first!

despite the fresh seeds, unfortunately A. salzmannii has one of the lowest germination rate of all annonaceae....

..but it worth to try!!!!

I was worried they would be difficult to germinate like illama, needing to be soaked with gibberellic acid...

but it turns out, they are popping up like typical Annona seeds, no trouble at all, no treatment needed...planted them 5/10/15 (approx)

Thank you Micah!

With some luck these might be ready to ship by late summer....I would love to see some go to Hawaii.

I think you have a real shot at fruiting this species, and my attempts to fruit them in a pot may be a pipe dream.

The tree grows very tall, very fast!  Ive had to prune my grafted trees several times this year already.  I bet they'd be 10-12ft by now, but I've kept them at 5-6ft. (5-10 gal pot, one on montana, the other on glabra)

ADAM Mahalo Nui Loa!
Holy moly, this is how you know the true fruitdorks...it's 2:00 in the mornin and I got a quick response! I'm in New Orleans for a bit...so we are on the same time and it seems the same fruitmania boat.
Just cleaned up some puke(not mine) and am going to sleepy now.
Any places around here that are worthy of spockin out for rare fruits?

I also sprouted some A. salzmannii ten days ago. Some of them began to straighten:



I have a lack of humidity in the greenhouse. Because of this, the seeds dry up and difficult to shed the shell. And cothyledone leaves appears very small. Will hope on good true leaves.

Приветствую на этом замечательном форуме, Андрей!
Hello Andrew,
You can try to grow Cherimoya that tolerate dry hot air.

Hi Alex, I checked today to the three pots I planted with Annona salzmannii, and I found out a very high rate of germination. All seeds planted in two different ground: one reflecting the beachy ground with sand and organics. The other one with organics and pumice. Both with good results. I'm start thinking to have the best rate, it matters not only the medium but also the quantity of seeds you put inside the pot. It seems they "communicate" chemically when they are together improving the germination rate...

By the way: no greenhouse has been used! Only full sun for heating during the day.

when popoed out I will post some photos.

Cheers,

Giampaolo
