Some were grafted onto pond apple. Mine that was died in about a year after the graft.  The others were on cherimoya I think.

I guess that's why mine also died.  Does anyone currently have it for sale?  I'd still like to grow it.  (Is it really THAT GOOD?)

I think maybe one of the best tasting, and best adapted for growing in Central FL zone 9a.

Most cold tolerant atemoya i've seen so far, and highly productive without hand pollination.

That is why I'm so excited about them...but I could understand not getting so excited in CA...they have too many good atemoyas and cherimoyas there....lol...conditions are better for the growers over there...(JF know what I'm talking about  ;D )

My Dream on glabra died of incompatability issues. The root stock is healthy but the Dream portion died. My Dream on a Lisa seedling is robust.

Anyone have updates on their trees? I have a few fruit holding but the cold weather/lack of fertilizer has the tree looking a little shabby. Should i fertilize this time of year? I'm about 30 min north of Tampa.

You could add Calcium sulfate (Gypsum), and any other fertilizer except Nitrogen, this time of year.  Late February or early March would be good to start back adding Nitrogen.

I have a Mr. Minh atemoya growing, i believe it is 3 years old and growing very fast. It is currently growing under light in my shop.
It is in full leaf now. The tree is 9 ft wide and 7 ft tall. When do you strip the leaves off and prune the tree. Last spring on advise from a member i pruned the tree pretty good and as you can see it is big again.

Do these look like they were picked at the right stage? How do I know when they are ripe?

Fruits are small on the large mother tree as well. I haven't had a chance to hand pollinate and push them on mine yet.

Do the ones in the picture look like they will ripen properly? How long do they need to ripen on the countertop?
