Congrats!thanks Nullz,Earlier in the season I grafted about 3 dreams, to share with friends...but I had poor success with these for some reason...the one tree that took, failed after I unwrapped it. I think I unwrapped it too early..or kept it too wet with overhead irrigation.Don't worry though...I've got some rootstock for my next attempt. I'm going to be handing out Dream cherimoyas as stocking stuffers for next xmas. ..and you're on my list of good boys and girls.
I hope Wayne hasn't forgotten the rest of us who have contacted him about Dream cherimoya and are on his waiting list!
I admit the leaves are shaped like cherimoya leaves usually are.

I asked him about his waiting list...He's working hard to fill all the requests asap! I just happened to request the trees back in January!
I actually emailed him to ask how the one I ordered was coming along. He told me it would be ready by the end of the summer and that he took 8 flowers off the tree before potting up. So whoever gets one this year will probably have fruit next year.
Dream veneer onto cherimoya (labeled as Hybrid Cherimoya) rootstock.The scion was much skinnier than the rootstock, so I had to barely cut into the cambium.
JF,I agree, it's hard to tell if there isn't some squamosa blood in there....but either way I hear the tree is more cold hearty than any common atemoya (withstanding 20F when mature), and fruits set without hand pollination...and taste amazing!I've heard lots of respectable people, saying good things about this cultivar...so I know it's a winner already!I will make sure to report when I finally taste the fruits!
AdamHow large does a mature dream cherimoya tree get?Does the mature tree fruit lightly or heavily ?Brad
