Thank you for the info. I'll definitely buy more. It's a hard lesson learned but I think Im going to follow Al's gritty mix. This seems fool proof.

I ended up not airing the roots, I went to my local hardware store and bought cactus mix, mixed in some pine bark fines and some gravel. Hopefully this will help.

How long do you think the scions would last? It will take about a month before the seed would be ready at the soonest (I think).

OK so I took the tree out what do you guys think about the roots?

Well thank you all for the input. That's sad to hear that my ice cream probably won't survive. What do dead or dying roots look like? I'll try to prune what I can. At this point there's no point in not trying. I do have a grow tent that I used last year which worked great, I just never got around to putting it up this year. These trees sure are a pain to get out here plus the shipping is ridiculous.

I'm looking to buy a box of fruit. Please let me know what you have. This is the first time for me trying this fruit so if you have a variety that would be great. Thanks

I'll definitely check on the soil, thank you for the advice. My trees are all indoors during the winter months.

So after reading and hearing a lot about annona's I really want to try growing 1 or 2. Hers the catch they need to be potted sine I live in Denver. So what are the one or 2 best cherimoya/annona? I am buying from tt so please limit from their selection. Please help me choose the best tasting tree that can be potted. Thank you.

Also if you have any input for me and why I should not plant one of these trees in a container for long term please let me know.
