thanks cookiemon,
At first I heard this one was a poor performer in FL. I also wondered why it faded away into obscurity....so I really didn't have high hopes for this one...and didn't really graft any...
but slowly this plant is proving me wrong (and all the naysayers)
I wonder if this is what happened:
this tree was probably not a good performer down in South FL (maybe the soil, or excess rainfall?)
so it never really caught on....but now with internet, people who are in areas (like Ca, or central FL) where the climate is better for this variety , are finding out about it....and it's popularity will increase with all of the growers interested in annonas (people all over the world can fruit these in pots) and they seem to do well areas with a bit milder climate.....
but I don't know this for sure...
just a conspiracy theory I've been working on!
(now i''m thinking i should graft more! but i'm waiting to taste the fruit for myself...even though Mikesid already harvested some and said it was pretty darn good!....i gotta see with my own taste buds to believe!
RAWK ON! I want to buy a tree when you start grafting them.
getting close!
(someone told me that this is a hybrid of Geffner, and San Pablo....i guess that would make sense...based on the looks of this one)
so far this has been a great plant for container growing....being productive even though small, and in a pot.
