I had nothing to do today so i went to ong’s nursery and found his Lisa Atemoya. He has Lisa in a yellow collor and this color. I dont know if they are the same kind. Maybe whrn it is imature it is dark and when it mature it turns yellow. Are there different Lisa Atemoya? I see some that are pink in the forum.
I did the hybridizing of the 'Lisa' (48---26) when I worked at Zill's.I don't recognize that third picture.
Super lisa onthe rmiddle right...( la habra sun, pierce, campas)Seeds are quite has the size.This super Lisa had the texture of a caimito but chewy.. to me it tasted like complex sweet lychee... veery delicious.. would like to thank the Professor.
Jf,Does ong’s lisa looks like the typical lisa? I mean the kids holding the atemoya, do the lisa atemoya look normal?
That is pretty steep. Atkins has african prides 15 gal nice trees for 75$
One think about Ongs that is different from other nurseries is he doesn't put a 5 gallon plant in a 15 gallon container. He is honest and he has the most diverse plants for sale. 40 varieties of Wax Jambu!Go up to California Tropicals in Vista and you'll see some pretty high prices. I saw a 45 gallon Chico for $4000. The guys that import some of the rare items have to pay quite a bit and then if the inspector from the AG dept. sees one illegal (hitchhiker) bug then everything within 15 feet has to be destroyed. Also it takes years to grow some of these sub-tropicals up to a size that customers want.
He now sales his 15gallon phet pakchong for $375. His wife told me in the begining the Phet pakchong was really expensive because it was hard to import. Now you can get a three gallons of the phet pakchong for 75 bucks but not from Ong.

It doesn’t look like JF’s Lisa. The immature fruit has a dark tone like it was black. I even try to rube off the powder and it was still a dark green. His trees are Large and he sells his 15 gallons for 375 dollars. i have not taste them yet but will in the spring. Ong will also let me try their “red atemoya” and claim it is not a 4718.Below are the Lisa atemoya that his niece are holding. This is also from his website.
3129 Reche Rd, Fallbrook, CA 92028They had a lot of nice looking african prides and other cherimoyas and avocados citrus etc. Its more of a grove supplier than a boutiqe nursery. I put one of the african prides in next to my cherimoyas.
