Hi everybody,im new in planting a fruit tree so I need an advise and opinion. Im germinating a fews Cherimoya seeds now,but as i know grafted tree will produce fruits faster and also result a dwarf tree,and seedling tree need longer period to produce fruits and its grow larger.Grafting a fruit tree need an old tree's scion to graft (upper) with a young seedling tree (bottom),but my question is-- Since i have no old Cherimoya tree,so CAN I GRAFT 2 YOUNG TREES (1 YOUNG TREE BOTTOM WITH ANOTHER YOUNG TREE UPPER) to obtain the same result when its grow up? Thanks all!
What's your elevation in Sabah? I don't think you will have good success below 1000 meters. I just don't want you to waste your time. Also some parts of Sabah might be too wet, but I guess actual growers can give some input here. I do understand your obsession however. Sometimes I would crave cherimoya even more than durian
If you had the acreage, you could plant over 100 seedling cherimoya trees. Perhaps some of them would not produce fruit, but I am sure you would find a couple that fruited in the climate.

Well,never mind I just try my best and will update the progress in future,anyway thanks for your info!
DurianLover, what varieties of Cherimoya from Sri Lanka did you like?
