Pink guavas can be sweet too, but they tend to have a slightly different flavor.

My friend Paulish have fruited rollinia in San Diego. My big rollinia died before it could fruit. I have a new rollinia growing and hopefully it will fruit in a year or two. There are multiple members of CRFG San Diego chapter have fruited Rollinia in San Diego.
As for me, there is a bug or fungus in my soil that have killed multiple rollinia and sugar apple tree. I have learn to graft all important cultivars/experimental seedlings on cherimoya rootstock to prevent future death. Some Rollinia, Saramuyo, and sugar apple 8 feet tall with 3 inches diameter trunk have died.I use pollens from rollinia to pollinate an ap. I will try fruit in a couple of days. Below is the encapsulated flower. Not all flowers are encapsulated—maybe a 50:50 ratio. The mother fruit was excellent and I planted the seed. It took 3 years for plant to fruit.Very interesting. Have you been able to fruit Rollinia in San Diego?I didn't even know Rolllinia could hybridize with Atemoya. Wow. Did you hybridize it yourself? How's it taste? How's its cold hardiness? I want to try it. :-)
I'd really like to hear how this hybrid fruit compares to the parents.

I’m impressed. That black star is awesome. How much pruning did you have to do to keep it looking like that. Every uniflora I grow wants to be a bush.
Those look great! How old are they?
One of our members the fruitkid had just returned from hawaii and brought them home.
Peach Cobbler seedings grow very well in my climate, and have fruits in 3 years. If fruits are not any special I will top and graft something on them.
Kent seedlings are more problematic -- disease and very slow at the first few years.
