The Tropical Fruit Forum

For here, most years they are ready by new year.

Tastes much better than Sumo at this time.

My fruit above had many seeds.
1 segment had 3 seeds.

Version 1 or version 2?

2022 season starts in 15 days.
Anyone eating it now?

1 graft in June
8 grafts on July 2nd
Most grafts growing well
A couple of grafts barely growing
1 graft failed

A couple of years back I cut back a big cherimoya tree on someone’s yard.
I kept a nurse branch to keep the tree growing.
A month later I returned to check the cuts.
An inch of cambium from the cut end was dead.
I cancelled bark grafting.
Owner sold property so I didn’t return to graft.

Last year I cut back neighbor’s 2 big cherimoya trees around February.
I kept a nurse branch to keep the roots going.
I kept a foot of each big branches.
So tree grew many new shoots.
By June 12th I grafted the thickest shoot.
On July 2nd I grafted some more.
I’m expecting some fruits next year.

One tree I didn’t graft.
Didn’t have scions for it.
The shoots are thick now.
Good to graft next March.

Im pretty sure we can put a nail in the coffin on "dream" being a cherimoya.  Definitely a atemoya.

Dream here smell like a sugar apple when handling it.

I added lime juice to paper towel, stuffed inside ziplock bag.
Seeds still  got moldy.

Pool party?

Look great!

Too cheap to pass

It’s one of the many bottle gourd.
It’s not a luffa.
