Arent you guys worried about the neurotoxins in Anonas? Since I read about the possible link to  parkinson's disease I was too scared to eat them.  I love sugar apple  :(

Lots of people in Asia eat anona everyday.  We don't hear people in those countries with any brain related diseases. Only US has lots of people with brain diseases. I think it's the drugs that are available in US makes cause brain diseases, not anona.

I usually eat 3 soursops fruits a day when in season in the Philippines & 1 bag of atis for 10 years (when i was there) and i guess my system is full of annonacin aka neurotoxin. But hey, im still alive & ready to eat more annonacins. :)

I concur mostly on what annona king of CA wrote (at least to thr varieties that i have tasted).

While 'Pierce' i consider king of all annona species & calostro , an atemoya is the closest thing to a cherimoya bec of its sweetness.

I enjoyed Buttercream WAY more than M4. (Though I’m only going off of one tasting evaluation). Agree with SweetTart. & Fruit Punch is good... but I’ve found some more of the newer varieties that I enjoyed most this year like ButterCream, Him Sagar, & Guava.

What made u said that u rnjoyed buttercream more than m4?

Sleepdoc was kind enough to share the tasting of the first forum documented fruit grown to maturity on mainland U.S. with me today.  Thank you Sleepdoc!

The fruit had fallen from the tree on Tuesday. The decision was made to allow the fruit to continue to ripen until Saturday before tasting. However, today, the fruit was very soft and looked like it was going down hill fast.  The fruit was very small.  Sleepdoc scored the skin of the fruit, which was very thin, and pulled the two halves apart. Unfortunately, the seed was nearly full sized and the fruit barely had any flesh. There was less than half a teaspoon to share between the myself, Sleepdoc, and his son.  The flavor was suprisingly sweet and only had the smallest hint of acidity and I thought it was very pleasent. It was one of the sweetest garcinias I have ever tasted. The skin had a thin layer of flesh, which I scraped with my teeth. It had a little more acidity and tasted similar to a sweet achachairu.

Seems promising, however, did u take any photos of the flesh inside.?

This is a delicious mango, coconuty flavor going on and much.....it’s moved into my top 10


I have two M4 hanging on my graft from last year, if they hold we will taste it in CA.

Finally, a m4 CA grown would probably be better than the ones in Fl, jst like how ST & LZ were high on brix last year.

If the seeds I posted truly are Monoembryonic, there would have been a rearrangement of genetic material and the resulting seedling will not be a clone of the parent.

Simon

Thanks simon.

That’s what it appears to be but the top seed still has the brown skin on it so there may be segmentation beneath although it doesn’t look like that’s the case. I do not know if it will be a clone or the zygotic seedling coming up if only one sprout comes out from the top seed.

Simon

Hi simon, i have took out the brown skin & no segmentation noticed.

That being said & as well as the seeds u uploaded means it will not be the same as the parent?

These both seeds were from OS.

It seems like the top one is mono, while the bottom is poly? Please confirm.

What if the top seed mono & u planted this seed. Would it also come true to type?

Its been hitting 100-102 consistently in last one week or so in my area (corona, ca), got no damage from recent heat wave when I hit 112, 110, 114, 105, 104, etc. triple digits continue, high humidity has helped, mangoes are flushing like crazy.

We have similar temps highest i had was 116 the past week. Mangos too are growing crazy. I hope we get at least 3 -5 flushes more by the end of the year.

lol what is this? so Simon post a want to buy ad and others hop on? this takes thread jacking to a whole different level

Both Simon and Gozp are my friends...so its not an absolutely ridiculous thread jack.
What you can't see from the posts is that Simon got what he wanted already.

Of course, it goes by order. :)

Better luck nxt year, warren.  8)

Dude. You visit FL and didn’t let me know?

I did not visit Florida, it was sent to me by one of my friend.  JF and I are planning to being in Florida next mango season.

If you really want to screw around you fly out of
McCarran in Las Vegas. Park your car there or have someone drive you there
Buy mango trees etc in Florida. Legal to transport them by airplane to Las Vegas.

Then bring them home to California via automobile.

Just an idle thought or two...... me I obey all California fruit  and plant laws which is easy due to living in Florida :)

And when u get to the California checkpoint it gets confiscated??
