Zill owns it, so he would be the one to name it.
I believe he has quite a few grafted trees of it planted out in Costa Rica. At least that was the case a dozen years ago.
harvested my first 47-18 today...it was already getting soft on the tree...so maybe I can post a review of the fruit later tonight.here's what's on my annona plate as of now...(a geffner, a few Na Dai, and 4718)
Adam, which rootstock did you use for this 47-18?
I have several small trees, one is on reticulata, one is cherimoya, and the mother tree is on atemoya.

Something like a Lisa Atemoya rootstock problem magnifying by 10.
Thanks, Adam. So, I'm guessing either Geffner or African Pride since they are the 2 most commonly found.
...I know it's not african pride, I never see those in FL...could be Geffner...but my guess is Lisa. I can try to ask my friend exactly what variety he used (i didnt' graft this tree)..I know it was atemoya though.
I also wonder how stable the seeds would be?? they seem to be quite uniform in shape and size...(unlike Lisa seeds)...I don't know if seed shape has anything to do with stability though.
Wow....what a beautiful fruit! Im also interested on buying one, when ever Adam has them available.

Hopefully we wont get a nasty winter this year, and I will wait for one of your trees. It really looks like one worth planting!
