Any guess on frost hardiness on these? What elevation were they found at?
Beautiful fruits. Thanks for offering this unique opportunity.
FYI, I wouldn’t consider this a fruit good to eat out of hand. This is mostly used in cooking to make sour soup and popular in Bangladesh where I grew up.
I'm looking for this species too. I bought some seeds from Bellamy a few months ago, and they haven't germinated yet. I guess I haven't given up on them quite yet, but if they're like other Annonas, my germination rate has never been very high. I even tried GA3 on one of the seeds to no avail. But I'll let you know if one of them germinates. I'm not sure if it can be air-layered or grafted to an Annona, but certainly it can be attempted.

Best bet would be to search your email and list all the psidiums you've bought. #1 and 2 looks like a P. guavaja or close, #3 and 4 looks like catley, robusta, longipetiolata. Maybe P. myrtoides/eugeniaefolia? I remember he had some of those for cheap. They could be rare species too though no doubt. I don't see much info on Psidium spp Goiaba Da Amazônia, but I'd guess it's a P. guavaja, so could be #1 and 2.
Nick,
Is it known wheter this species is self-fertile or . . . ?
I'm sure it's unlikely, but is there any sense of this species' cold tolerance?
And lastly, what does it taste like?
Trying to decide if I want to try one of these.

Honestly not too much information out there on this one. I would believe it to be self fertile but don’t quote me on that. There’s an older thread on here in regards to deceptrix and it’s says it was found 1600 ft above sea level and tastes similar to soursop

nice looking graft! is that 47-18?
Thanks Mike, I think temoylata is interchangeable with 47-18 and red geffner or do I have that wrong ?

Has Pineapple Pleasure fallen out of favor? I haven't seen it mentioned at all this year.
