What I noticed about reticulatas is that they drop their leaves completely around May. Quickly refoliate (if that's a word) after.
Stripping before April often seemed like a waste so I stopped. I'll strip them in April and trim then.
I think their dormancy is different, if you strip them in let's say december they seemed to grow back but if you do it in February they'll stay like that for a while.
My observation based on the last few years of growing them and seeing them across yards in Broward.
It only gets better!Did you hand-pollinate? (Or as Rob would say, "What does that have to do with anything?" )
The second year my Lisa fruit improved dramatically.

Lisa atemoya x Ilama sounds like a really cool cross, I'd buy some of the seeds if you have extra and it's not too much effort.
Edit: Found some interesting info either way:
"Hybrids that are one-half A. diversifolia usually are not healthy in our field and have never fruited here... A. squamosa x A. diversifolia germinated by the hundreds and then all died at the height of two inches." They do mention some diversifolia hybrids exist

Coconut cream, fruit punch and probably Carrie. Not a fan of the citrus flavored ones really. We like the classic, coconut and spicy.I am a big fan of fruit punch which I make no secret. Some of the connoisseurs say it averaged but to me it's Fruit Dillylicious. Can't wait to make a jug of juice with it [/url
Happy Holidays

They will smell very good, perfumy, when ready. And will be soft enough to spoon.
They look right.
