I was talking to Wayne the other day, and he said he's swamped with orders for his cherimoyas!!

I feel bad for those who want one, but can't get one yet!

Unfortunately Wayne said he doesn't have time to ship plants, and if he did ship, he couldn't guarantee their safe arrival.

So this limits his sales to local pick up only...and all of his trees are sold on a first come first serve basis.

Help him and graft some....look like a good opportunity What rootstock does Wayne use for this so called cherimoya?

So do you think that all of us in South Florida who contacted Wayne early on and have been waiting all these months are out of luck for this year? What if we drive up to see him?

John,

sorry I don't know...that's something you'll have to ask Wayne...but if you're willing to drive to pick up a tree from him, I'm pretty sure you have a good chance of getting one soon!

JF,

I think he uses cherimoya...but I'm not sure. There are so many grafts to do in so little time.

I've heard of instances where the The "Rare sciondoddle bird" has carried away many a patented and T.M. wood from tree's only to end up in a rfg tree!!!

It's only a Dream away!

I'm surprised by how many fruits set on my small (7gal dream)

this year I haven't been hand pollinating...and most of my annonas have had poor to moderate fruit set.

but the dream will actually have to be thinned out.

can't wait to share a taste report.

ScottR · « **Reply #81 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:38:00 AM »

That's a very good treat to have on a Cherimoya var. self-pollinating

Pics?

Brad! sorry I'm unable to post pics temporarily.

Robert, I think it sets more fruit than gefner! Cherimoya, atemoya...haha I don't care if they call the dream a sugar apple, I still gotta grow one...I've heard many wise, trustworthy, and discriminating fruit growers who swear it's an outstanding fruit.

I got one of these a couple weeks ago. The leaves definitely look more like an atemoya to me. Hopefully ill be able to taste a few next season.

I've got mine in the ground. I agree--the leaves look more like atemoya. But I don't care, if the fruit tastes half as good as Wayne says. Also, he informed me that they produce fruit from August to March. Pretty remarkable!

It's very nice looking non- Cherimoya.

cgps · « **Reply #97 on:** October 13, 2013, 09:28:56 PM »

excuse me and hi,

this variety of custard apple is annona cherimola or a hybrid?, is that I am interesed in this frutal but need some tips about the climate and water, help me?

camile

davidgarcia899 · « **Reply #98 on:** October 13, 2013, 09:40:04 PM »

Camile, if you read through the older post on this thread you'll see that we arent really sure if its a hybrid or a pure annona cherimola. What we do know is that its better adapted to the lowland tropical climate of south florida than cherimoya.

if I had to wager, I'd say there's some squamosa in the mix. Maybe its an atemoya backcrossed to a cherimoya.
