My "Big Green" sugar apples are ripening by the bunch. I picked a five gallon bucket today at 9am and sold them all by noon. I only harvest perfectly ripened fruit when they are at their peak flavor. These are among the sweetest fruits and the Brix levels must be off the charts.

Sheehan: Bring your refractometer over one day to see what level they reach.

This basket shipped to one of my customers in Virginia

I wish I can just go out and buy fresh annonas like these, your fruits are just awesome to look at, and I'm sure even better to eat.

FGG, can you mail some to Hawaii? I'd love to try some. Especially the big reds and a few of the greens.

Noel,

I'd also be interested if I could order a couple of reds and greens to be shipped to Punta Gorda, FL. They look amazing.

My Big Reds are running a few weeks behind the Greens. They are a variation of the green but have a bit of raspberry flavor to them. They are my favorite of all annonas

Noel you are the man for annonas and one of the most knowledgeable about in America. If I had more space I would plant some

FGM I bet you're feeling a bit seedy after celebrating the harvest but sATISfied.When it comes great sugar apple trees you're annona.
I having harsh words to my trees at the moment and showing them pictures that you took.Like I told Saff I haven't thrown in the trowel with the size challenge.
Great pix and great fruit by the way.

stressbaby · « **Reply #16 on:** July 22, 2012, 08:20:56 AM »

Are they easy to graft?
I have 6-7 small seedlings that are producing fruit already, it would be cool to try grafting.

Selling+shipping any of these?? I have yet to have the privilege to taste a ripe sugar apple :-)

Are these Big Red and Big Green cultivars available as grafted trees in Florida? I think I have 2 new items to add to my wish list. My puny seed grown local sugar apples are embarrassing!

MMMMommy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 01, 2012, 08:11:38 PM »

Are you shipping to CA? if yes, please let me know the price of the fruit + sh. I'd like to order some!

Mike T · « **Reply #23 on:** August 09, 2012, 02:48:22 AM »

Another out of season but less runty giant sugar apple that can't crack the 2 lb barrier.I hope to crack the 3lb barrier during the season in 6 months.This particular type has very small seeds and many seedless section yet has a great taste.It will be the last oneouta season one and I don't know how I missed it.What out FGM weighing your whoppers because this bad boys big brothers will be back in town!

Soren · « **Reply #24 on:** August 09, 2012, 09:16:59 AM »

It use to be that everything is big in America - at least when I was there back in 1989; are the Aussies trying to spoil that reputation with giant fruits? Or is the origin really an Asian cultivar.?
