I gave up on my rollinas it does not like our arid hot climate. It was cold tolerant but it did not like the Santa Ana winds. I think it was Bruce or Oscar that recommended to keep it on a mister but I didn't feel the fruit was worth that much commitment since it barely ranks above custard Apple..,,,we have cherimoyas and atemoyas

Interesting -- might be then that it is appropriate for more coastal CA locations that are more humid and cooler?

I actually like the flavor of rollinia -- it's milder than cherimoya but that's sometimes a good thing.

Rollinias love humidity and water, I planted mine about 4 feet from a canal and it's grown about 6 feet wider and 3 feet taller in a year
