Atemoya tree from Greenmart nursery

[Mikey]

Last year I purchased this atemoya tree from 99 Ranch Supermarket in San Diego for $60 or $70.  It was from greenmart nursery and the nursery cannot tell me anythingabout it.  They can only tell me it is a Taiwan atemoya.  The leaves looks a little different from my AP and other atemoya.  It is very sweet, chewy, and my wife said it taste like a Vietnamese mang cua.  It lacks the aromatic aromas and complex sweet/sour flavoring of a good cherimoya.  It is very sweet and chewy.  If I let this get softer then it won’t get chewy.  I will give this an 8/10 because it lacks the fragrance and complex flavoring.  Overall, it is excellent and the price is too low for an excellent atemoya.  So if you see more trees at 99 Ranch Supermarket then I highly recommend buying.

The fruits are pointy like the ones from Taiwan.

Greenmart nursery? Where is this nursery? I used to buy a bunch of plants from a nursery of the same name, in the city of Orange. That place closed down 2 years ago. I'm wondering if they moved to San Diego or just a name coincidence?

Based on internet searches, Green Mart Nursery moved from Orange, CA to Norco, CA (Inland Empire, off the I-15).  Looks like they kept their telephone number 714-637-2060.  Just bought a Ylang Ylang tree (5 gallon, app. 5 feet tall, for $49) from the 99 Ranch market off on Jeffrey & Walnut in Irvine, CA, and all the plants at the market were from Green Mart with the 714 telephone number printed on the tags.
