Online Cherimoyas
« on: June 03, 2013, 02:50:57 AM »
I've done some fairly extensive research trying to find grafted varieties of chermoya that I can get shipped to me.  Not to be found.
Occassionally they will show up on Ebay, crazy overpriced.

Anyone know of any retailers that will ship grafted plants?

I have preference for Booth, Pierce or El Bumpo, but will consider...

Houston isn't too hot and humid for cherimoya? If you're buying a full tree online shipping is going to be expensive. Maybe start some seeds in the meantime and graft them yourself in a year or two? Scion sticks are much easier to get.

Look for Selma, it may produce well in humid Houston.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Cherimoyas seem pretty easy to graft. I agree you should get seeds or seedlings and graft them. I'm sure you can get bud wood easier than buying grafted plants. Here are a few photos of some recent grafts breaking bud.
