The Tropical Fruit Forum

Lisa is definitely one of my favorites and deserves a spot in my yard.  Another good variety to fill up the calendar year so you can have a longer season of Annona.

Beautiful fruit guayaba!

Good looking fruit dragon.  It looks a lot more ready than the ones I picked.

I have three fruits this season and 2/3 already cracked.  Picked this one a few mins ago and left the other two on the tree.  I have a few questions.  Will this one ripe? Should I leave it on the tree longer? And how can I prevent ppc from cracking?

You should graft instead of asking for seed mustang as it'll take a few years to fruit and it might not be true to the mother tree. 

Very nice Sam.  I love dr white too.

Yes.  Try a few last year and one took.

Is that fruit a goner? Last year, I picked it right away and it just gone black after a few days.

I personally prefer atemoya over cherimoya because of taste and texture.  Cherimoyas are fillers for me. For the cherimoya expert, can I get the names for the varieties below? Got these from my neighbor and they were delicious.  All from seedlings.

I can across this video the other day.  Try this Si.

We have most of the same fruits.  Just visit the local market and see what's in season.  Good luck and enjoy your trip.

Finally get to try frank's randhir today.  OMG!!! What a feast for my wife and I with this 2-3 pounder!  It was so juicy, sweet, chewy, not grainy, and big.  Seeds to flesh ratio was very good.  It was like eating 4-5 na when we were in vn.  It had all of the characteristics that I look for in an atemoya.  Such a delicious treat.  I gave the two pink mammoth my parents.  Will report back on the birula when I try it tomorrow.  I'm OD on atemoya tonight.  Thanks frank for this yummy treat.  Can't wait to get more from you when available again.

Just finished these grafts for a fellow member.  Hopefully, it'll be a sucess. 

But check out the second pic below for Frank's giant Randhir and birula.  Both are so big compare to my AP and Lisa.  Almost as big as the watermelon I got from Costco.

A few months.  Best thing is to watch the new growths.  Let the new shoots come out between 6-12 inches.  You can then unwrap the tape to check.  Most grafting tapes are biodegradable so you won't even need to unwrap. 

I also saw your questions about germinating seeds. I normally soak mine in water for a few days until I get around to put it in potting soil.  The seeds that float are no good.  You can just throw those away.
