En Cuba es Chirimoya.J, they can call it whatever they want. In fact, that is their Dream Cherimoya. Looks nice. If it is anything like the ones I have tasted in Fallbrook, it is a nice tasting fruit.Quote from: fruitlovers on October 16, 2013, 11:26:03 PMIn Cuba they call all the reticulatas: cherimoya. I think the ilama is also called cherimoya in some places. So that name is applied to different species in different countries. Maybe Wayne should call it a Wayneamoya?

El Americo este no es cubano nosotro si, so he know the difference.Wayne, these are Cherimoyas.....enough of this misleading stuff.
What is that golden sugar apple they have? never seen that before
the look of the dream fruits remind me of papaya tree nursery's "sweetie" (they call it a sugar apple hybrid..but on this thread we know it's an atemoya)I wonder if anyone here is growing or has tasted sweetie.http://www.papayatreenursery.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=2021

I'm waiting on Alex's reply on possible pre-ordering.
Does anyone remember an older post on gardenweb forum by (Felipe/Philippe?) showing several different types of atemoyas? One of which was a really big & beautiful golden yellow atemoya that sort of looks like a massive sugar apple?
had a few small dreams that were ripe today.I will report back if the fruit was good enough to eat...they're rather small (probably because the tree is still small, it was exposed to cold temps, and it's in a pot)it's definitely got some squamosa (just like I suspected all along)...but I'm still very excited to have a new atemoya. with the power of the collective knowledge of this great forum, no mislabeled plant is safe from being revealed and revised!

The Dream (atemoya), looks like its very cold tolerant. I left one of my trees exposed to the short freeze we had, and it didn't even burn a leaf!The 4826 is totally defoliated...and the gefner, and Phet packchong have almost lost all of their leaves.
I guess we got colder here...it was about 32 F...the lisa's defoliated soon after.Wow u got 103 Lisa fruits off one tree? (did u hand pollinate?)

Here is a pic of my last Lisa #103 after a long season....from early October.
