The Tropical Fruit Forum

I had a deep well on my property and had the water tested.
It had very high salt content and some of my trees were suffering.
I was told the filters are not effective. I was able to
switch to a shallow well on my property. I don't have any
experience with the filters and went with what the water company
told me. If the filters work I would like to know. 

I'm close to labelle also in 9b. I was advised to buy a seedling.
A seedling will fruit at 3-5 years old and if it freezes back it will come
back true. I have 3 different types of seedlings that are 2-3 years old and
a couple had male flowers this year. They all three took off this year and
I planted them on the South side of a large shed in cluster of other
trees including a soursop. One of my seedlings came from a fruit that
was grown in Lehigh acres which is a little cooler then me most nights.
Alan is from Tampa and has a fruiting jackfruit tree. Here's a recent post he made
with pictures   https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=43779.0
Welcome to the forum!

congrats!
Can you hand pollinate the other plant? Do they have typical
annona flowers that turn from female to male? I also would like
to know how the fruit tastes

Thanks Mike. The seeds arrived quickly and in good condition. There were even some bonus seeds thrown in. 

thanks and good luck

I would still think the tree will go through a dormant phase and
defoliate and then put out new growth and flowers?
I have noticed the annonas need very little fertilizer.
Is that new growth or old leaves?

Citrus trees respond well to pruning. Also the fruit forms on new growth.
In the groves after harvest the farmers take the sides and tops off every tree
with their mower blades and the trees flush new growth for next years fruit

Did you pollinate?

no

I have a couple trees doing ok a little South of you. I'm in 9b close
to 10a. If you get in the low 30s or high 20s I would expect some leaf
burn. I like to let the fruit dissolve on my tongue. It reminds me of a
spoonful of peanut butter. It's amazing the red fruit is creamy not juicy.
I did plant my trees on the South side of a cluster of trees for a little buffer

Makok is my favorite sapodilla and doesn't get as large as Silas Wood.
The SW has more fruit. I agree and would start with small pots and up pot
later. I use this mix for my jaboticabas

I have a Diamond R that carries this near me.

congrats on the fruit.
I wouldn't thin either. Mine go all Winter unless it really gets cold and then
it may pause.

The tim seeds and scions I have sold may actually be African Pride.
I will call Fruitscapes Monday and try to confirm. I originally paid double
from Jessie at Fruitscapes for this new rare atemoya???
