I get paid later today and I just could not pass this up! So I reserved purchase on some Atemoya seeds from an Isreali Ebay seller.
They were apparently grown in his orchard and I cant believe how beautiful it is! I really hope this seller is legit but to my untrained eye it all looks above board:)
This seriously looks like the Mera mera no mi fire devils fruit straight out of my favorite anime One piece he he!
Can anyone make a guess at this variety name or possible parentage?
I know atemoyas are quite variable but seedlings anywhere even close to this would be amazing:)
I love the green blush.
This is the sellers Ebay shop, his Marula looks much improved to wild types that im used to too!

Ira is legit! One of the few on Scambay! An Avid collector of rare Annonas! Mine should fruit this year will see if its true. Tree is very very drought resistant short compact & just have started to shoot leaves for spring.😃
Awesome!!!
There are a few contenders but my vote goes to you for Annona king! I love that you just go for all the weird and wonderful, the champions and freaks of nature!
I would like to think of myself as the younger much less experienced version of you in that regard 
Please keep use informed Jack:)
I would live to hear your take on the taste though honestly I would probably grow this for looks alone it is breath taking.
I noticed his tree too is nice and compact, possibly a good candidate for container growth:)
mine is a seedling of a seedling of the original cross as Adam pointed out, but it is not the fruit that I was after! This seedling of 4718 were found thriving in a Sahelian environment at a Kibbutz & my Jewish Bother-in-law brought it back. So we dont know what generation from the original cross but it displaced outstanding drought, Brackist water & locust résistance suitable for me to cross into the Chewy line to get a generation of Sahelian bloodline suitable for Senegal & the Sahelian zone prone to salty well water. I had the original 4718 in a desert Kibbutz by the conflict border & I didn't find it any exciting than it got red skin. Personally a good Geffner I prefer over it. I love this ???second generation seedlings from the seedling origin of 4718. Field trials in Thailand were they grew Manioc chips for the European Poultry feed had depleted soil nutrients;desertification. ???What second generation seedlings from first seedling from original 4718 had shown resilience than most strains out there tested by our corporate Scientists spanning South East Asia excluding Australia.
By the way I am not interested in being King of anything. The Annona Taitung Mafias, those Taipans have several dozen of the World PHD Annonacea scientists working for them; those guys are King in my not so humble opinions. I am only being asked occasionally to be the visionary in the Multibillion Agricultural concern spanning South East Asia by my friends. I am justify as a lowly beggar like you accept I am just luckily surrounded by Billionare friends I went to college with! So please do not put this old fart on to high a pedestal or you might not enjoy the propane gas!😝 😄Most Scientists have no businesses sense or visions & that is why they work for us. We have vision & better taste for the agricultural commodities business on a global scale. Hell we make more money in the coconut, coffee trades than annona. By creating a Monopoly in the region for only AAA grade premium status fruits for the well heels ( a growing population in Asia), can it allows us to fund research for the future into other; the truth is we make more money on real estate than growing fruits. Just remembered this a 1,000 hectares just on any fruit clones are an expensive endeavour with Monsato as your gangster partner. More & more we are developing stabilize seedling line as crop insurance were the US is more into mono culture & hope better chemistry will produce something to combat resistance to all the pathogen biological or engineer!
Populations get bigger & enroachment on our plantation, so we move, built luxerious houses on the existing fruit plantation make killing on real estate. The biggest Ag powers for tropical fruits breeding & selection in the the next two decades will come from low cost Myramar & Vietnam were you can truly develope low cost beside rising cost Brazil.😄
Remember this, the more common sense sand you have in your sand box over your PHD Educated competitors, you will sing well, your sand castle will look proper built and your fart will smell seeet too! That is it Stuart! And yes Adam don't have a PHD in Education but common sense & the ignorance to always try new things lead to persistent success.👽 Poverty Hunger and Determination have and will always be the Hallmark of my PHD success & failure!🗽
