Amazing, mine are tiny, some got fried due to 22 days and counting 100 plus temps.
Frank, your crop looks amazing. You’ve got one of the best Annona collections around. I would love to hear your thoughts on the top must have Annona varieties. Simon
Unfortunately that was a one off trip...no chance of shipping my way? Or do any of the local growers there ship to south Florida? I'm happy to pre-pay for shipping.

Need to bookmark for reference Where does Oxkutzcab red stand on reticulata list? Or was it mentioned under different name?That's what I got from you earlier. Sprouted and growing...
Really, Frank? Custard apples as good as cherimoyas? (I tasted them at Fruit and Spice Park once--very, very mild in flavor.) What about LaHabra Blanc atemoya? You were very enthusiastic about that one last year.
These look great.I'm curious when we'll start seeing Ilamas grown from seed from Raul among folks here. The seeds I got unfortunately never sprouted (they got some sort of fungus), but I'm looking forward to hearing about the good varieties that are selected from the seedlings people are growing.

Rosada and AP (fake PM!) and in 3-4 years from now we might see some the interesting results! Here's a 1 month old seedling in a ~1 gal airpot.
Looks great Thera! I’m crossing Genova red w Pierce and Hunucma Amarilla they have set so I hope to have new hybrids in the next 4 years

I’m crossing Genova red w Pierce and Hunucma Amarilla they have set so I hope to have new hybrids in the next 4 yearsJF, that one seedling is suffering from a bit of a zinc deficiency due to my using coco coir and being away for work a bit too long. Some cal-mag and zinc should get it back on track.Your new Ilama x A. Cherimola sounds very interesting! You might also want try the reverse, A. Cherimola Pierce x A. Diversifolia Genova Red. The mother tree side tends to keep the taste characteristics!
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

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.

Saramuyo is simply annona squamosa, right?
I have to ask, is there a reason you’re spelling it Anona instead of Annona?
JF,How do you keep the squirrel and rats away from your annonas? One freak'n squirrel was dancing around my trees. I tried to beat it with a broomstick, in the process of chasing the dame thing, it picked one of my larger cherimoya right in front of my eye while it was jumping around, then took off with it.So far, I lost about 10 cherimoyas .
Hi JF (hero member) Do you have Calostro atemoya tree for sale , i would lite to get one
