Mike and Adam I'm also very interested in this fruit. I just read the entire post and my mouth is watering! I am not anywhere close to Florida to buy a tree from you but if there is any hope of seeds producing then I would try for that. Or else would budwood survive the long journey to Hawaii? Would you guys recommend grafting this onto cherimoya rootstock? Or atemoya rootstock? I know one of the big time grafters here on big island grows a pond apple rootstock then grafts cherimoya onto that. Then grafts atemoya to the cherimoya.
I'm not sure what all the best techniques are. I just love annonas!! And this purple fruit looks amazing!
