Nice photo.
This will be a pink-fleshed Ilama.  Red-fleshed Ilamas have dark red new leaves and dark purple flowers.  White-fleshed Ilamas have entirely green new leaves and petioles and light pink (often mottled) flowers.

now the question is
1. How can I get budwood of read ilama?
2. Will it fruit in So Cal Climate? I live in Corona Hills, 1300 ft elevation.

I'll have wood to share maybe next year or ask Oscar.

The Ilama will die in you climate if you plant it....the winter nights are too cold in Corona.

I don't know of anyone who has fruited an Ilama in Socal, maybe Oscar can answer that question better. I've heard of a few unsuccessful attempts in San Diego ( ask Cuban007). Mr. Minh has fruited Rollinas and Custard Apples but never Ilamas.

Just a general comment on ilama , here they grow wild , together with A. reticulata and squamosa , all in the same altitude/climate. Looks like this year 2012 there will be a good crop.

Hello Friends,

So my "Fake" Genova Red ilama, which is most likely an Atemoya is absolutely loaded with flowers.  I should get a pretty decent number of fruit this year so we will hopefully finally be able to put this whole controversy to rest.  I will post pics of fruit, whole and cut up, as soon as I get them for you all to see and evaluate.  Who knows, maybe it will be good.  What I do know is that the fruit is definitely green and has the shape and appearance of an Atemoya, as this tree has fruited before but didn't make it to maturity so I never got the chance to taste it.  Stay tuned........

Jacob

Hello Friends,

Here are pictures of the leaves and flowers of the "Genova Red Atemoya", or the fake "Genova Red" ilama.

Does air layering work for Illama? My neighbor has a tree I'm hand pollinating right now and I'm entertaining the notion of getting my own. I dont have any root stock right now or I would go that way. I do have a young seedling as well so if it doesnt take its not the end of the world. I just dont want to harm the tree unnecessarily.
