The Tropical Fruit Forum

I’ve been eyeing them but I can’t buy.
No space here.

I’m trying to buy a Royal Rainier tree but have not found a retailer.
Maybe multi graft into 2 trees then remove 2 trees.

I would move it away from the house so it gets some chill to trigger flowering.

I can’t see outbox since upgrade.
Any idea how?

Royal Lee and Coral Champagne both are flowering at the same time.
They are in the same group so they can’t cross pollinate each other.

Royal Crimson can provide pollens to both.
Tree is small so no flowers.
No cherries this year.

Anyone in SoCal have high chill hour cherry flowering?

I ate another fruit.
It had 5 seeds.
Still not sweet.

Welcome to the forum!!

This is the first I'm hearing about Lisa Pride, please share the story behind these if you have the info.
I assume Lisa X African Pride

Good assumption.
Fruit looked more yellow no red.
Still waiting on 1st fruit here.

I have short trees in small lot.
Wind is not a problem here.

The heat is nice.
We might escape frost this February.

Atemoya has strong apical dominance.
On small tree, 3rd branch from top doesn’t grow well.
It get worst when 3rd branch get a little shade from branches above.

I have AP on cherimoya rootstock.
I graft other varieties on the AP branches.

I have a Dream on cherimoya rootstock.
I graft other varieties on the Dream branches.

I have a cherimoya with a few branches.
I graft other varieties on those

There were many graft failures when those trees were small.
Much less failures when the trees were bigger.

Many ways to get a multi-graft tree.

Cherilata grows well on cherimoya rootstock.

Mine in the yard drops leaves in March then die back.
I’m hiding some in shed to see if this help.

Yours have wind protection from 2 walls and a patio door.
It could absorb enough infrared from those walls and the patio door to do well.

That macapuno looks great!

Merry Christmas to all!
