how many years to fruit from seeds and how they are cold hardy(can they grow in a. cherimoia area with few nights of -2 during the winter?I'm growing them in middle Italy(Ancona) with no issues, they are just covered from the cold wind and less than 1 year old, so for sure you won't have problems in your place.
I already sent the cash on 17th January but he cannot answer till now its a sad news my cash will loseTry send him an email, he always reply fast by email.
Mature trees can take up to 400 gallons per week.Woa, that's a crazy amount of water. Hopefully it can be contained with a small canopy.
If you dont water them they wilt and the fruit falls off within a few days. I have had my trees wilt and drop fruit after not watering for 4 or 5 days of really hot dry windy weather.
If you water after they wilt they do come back quickly. If you continue to not water the leaves will die and the wood will turn black and tree will eventually die. If you water just enough to keep the tree from wilting it will slow the trees growth and you will not get good fruit production. They also get salt burn with insufficient watering schedule. The pro avocado farmers will do excess irrigation periodically to leech the soil of salts. They may even go so far as to use special devices that pull water from the soil so they can monitor the TDS and EC levels of the ground water in the rootzone.
This water requurement all depends on how hot it is, how windy it is, and how low the relative humidity in the air is. Also the quality of the irrigation water. When its hot, dry and windy the trees perspire a lot. They do take more water than some plants and less than say a banana. There is a lot of leaf material on avocados and a lot of fruit. They need to metabolize a lot of sunshine and water to be productive.
Sorry and thanks."Most of the avocado roots are in only the top six inches of soil and are under the canopy out to the drip line."I did know about that, but it doesn't answer my questions.

I did find some sources stating 5-20 gallons several times per week once adults, but there is a big difference between 5 and 20 plus "several" is even more generic.
Did you bother to look at the link I provided above? HOW MUCH WATER TO USE:

Basic cleft graft of Mexican Cream onto Pink made it.
Has anyone used Psidium cattleyanum (Strawberry guava) as rootstock for better types/species? I half assed a couple grafts and they didn't take.
Thanks Oscar for the explanation.In what climate Atemoya grow that Cherimoya doesn't?Atemoyas will grow and fruit in the tropics. Cherimoyas will not, except at high elevation tropics.
Doesn't Cherimoya grow in tropical climate too?
Cherimoyas will not fruit or not fruit well in lowland tropics.
You should grow what will fruit in your area, not what tastes best. Cherimoyas fruit better in California. Atemoyas will do better in S. Florida.
But isn't the cambium green? The cut looks white to me...I watched the video and was puzzled too, but I think I understand what's the catch you are missing.
