Are these canistel ready to pick? These are my first fruits and they are still hard

Are your trees in the ground or in pots?
I water mine with well water that is 6.3 and mostly rain water that
is 7. Soil PH is also important. If the PH is too high the trees tend to get
chlorotic. How are your trees doing?

I would be more interested in the new growth after it pushes

I have a couple sabara in the ground also.
What I noticed with all my jabos is that as they get bigger and older
they flower and set fruit more and more. One of my sabaras is fruiting
several times a year now and so far all the fruit have one very small seed.
This is the third year I have gotten fruit and it fruited 3-4 times so far
this year. My other tree flowered in the middle of rainy season for the first
time and none of the fruit set. Be patient

Leaves look like my Luc's?

I had a pickering a few years back that had leaves that were more curled then
that. I use the Southern Ag citrus foliar spray and 8-4-8 Diamond R granular and the tree
grew out of the issue and fruited heavy last year. Now I am only using the Southern Ag
Spray a couple times a year.

It's nice you have plenty of seeds so you can try a few now and save some for the
Spring. I do better when I start the seeds in the Spring. The new seedlings have a green
flimsy trunk and will dampen off if watered too much. They also go dormant when the daylight
is short. Store the seeds dry in a baggie at room temperature and they remain viable for years.
Also floating seeds sometimes will germinate. It's better to squeeze the seeds between your fingers and if
they collapse they are not viable. I like to germinate the seeds between damp paper towels
in baggies. When they germinate I plant in potting mix and even in the Spring water sparingly.
Here's a picture of 2 custard apple and a Isan Indigo I planted last June. They were from the
previous years seeds. They have nice woody trunks now and will do fine this Winter. I will leave them
outside unless it gets below 40F and water maybe once a month while they are dormant. The Isan's
leaves are turning yellow this late in the season but will flush new leaves next Spring

Hi Kevin
Do you have fruiting sweet Uvaia trees?
I assume the original seeds came from Marcos?
How does it compare to pitangatuba fruit
Your selection of trees is impressive

Is it a sweet mango?

I wish I had a quarter for everytime I heard someone got a mislableled tree from Top

I agree with Brad and I would cut it now. I had a single trunk cherilata that
grew about 5 feet before it naturally branched. It was so top heavy with 5 branches
going upwards and it couldn't stand with out a stake. I pruned/pugged it last October
Annonas respond well to pruning
