Atemoya Most Like Cherimoya
SWRancher:
I tasted my first Cherimoya a few weeks ago while at Harry's house. I really enjoyed it a lot and have since placed two orders at Cherimoya.com. I know that the Atemoya itself is a hybrid of Cherimoya and Sugar Apple that grows well in hot humid climates. Which variety of Atemoya is the most like its parent the Cherimoya? I planted a Lisa Atemoya tree last summer, any suggestions on other types would be greatly appreciated.

Harry is actually growing a cherimoya tree that gives fruit in south florida's hot/humid climate?
A lot of people are happy with Geffner Atemoya. Many mentioned that it's better than Lisa and it can actually self pollinate.
SWRancher:
No, he got the Cherimoya from someone out west. I have been thinking about getting the Geffner seems like thats the most popular variety.
FlyingFoxFruits:
Nuathong!
and Gefner!
BOTH have nice firm cherimoya type flesh, not mushy like sugar apple, and a much nicer flavor!
