Is this an atemoya or cherimoya?

[MMMMommy]

Can someone tell me if this is an atemoya or cherimoya fruit & which variety it is?

Looks like an Atemoya. If you are in Socal it's probably an African Pride.

Definitely an atermoya. JF is right, looks like African Pride.

Haha.. sorry I can't do that, as the fruits from last year were all gone    Last year I had about 40 fruits.  This year, I should have a whole lot more as there are currently thousands of flowers on it & I'm hand-pollinating them right now.

Here is one of my African Prides to compare.

They do look somewhat similar, but are not quite the same, aren't they?

[fruitlovers]

Take a look at my AP atemoya:

[MMMMommy]

So I guess mine could be African Pride, as the fruits in the two pics you guys sent do not look identical to each other either!

How is an African Pride atemoya compare to a Gefner one? 

[Tropicalgrower89]

That looks like Atemoya to me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that African Pride is rubbery in texture compared to Gefner.

Mmmommy,  are those dragonfruit blooming for you?  They look great!

My gefners look alot like those in the picture.If it wasn't dark and rainy I'd race out and take a picture.

Yes.   We have 9 dragonfruits bushes.  They are only about 2 years old.  Last year I had an average of 5-8 fruits/bush.  This year, for some reasons, only 3 bushes have young buds on them right now.  The two you see in the pic are growing lots of new leaves  but no buds yet

Hi MMMMommy,

I agree with the members...It sure looks like an Atemoya

BTW the fruits look awesome
