If you could only have one atemoya tree, which would it be?

I only have space left for one atemoya tree. Which variety would you recommend? Ideally I would want something that produces pretty well, and tastes good.

Does it taste better than African Pride 2?

You should contact Frank (JF) directly.  He's the expert.

Yeah, I would contact Frank. Leo Hybrid is also excellent but it’s a Cherimoya x Atemoya.

I did! He recommended either the pinks mammoth or Calostro

Now I need to figure out where I can buy one of these trees. Any idea?

Plant a rootstock tree and graft it in spring.  Frank sells the budwood.  I have some cherimoya rootstocks if you need one.

How much do you sell them for? What size are they?

You can send me a message about it.  They're cheap and I have some good sized ones in 5gal pots.  I am not using them, they need a good home.

Make sure Frank will have what you need in spring.
