ISO Annona/Uvaria/Fingersop plants and seeds
Gulfcoastgardening:
Hi everyone! I'm new to posting on the forums, I've been trying to grow a number of different annonas with limited luck. I have Annona glabra seeds planted, Annona reticulata, Annona senegalensis, Annona squamosa, Annona spinescens, Annona neoinsignis.
I've had a terrible time getting germination on a number of seeds I've ordered. I'm new to collecting but not new to growing, I think, often times; I'm getting crispy seeds.
Essentially I'm looking for seeds/plants of just about any tasty Uvaria/Annona species besides Annona glabra(I have a ton of glabra planted)

I have had similar problems in successfully germinating rare Annonaceae seeds. I tried on three different occasions, with seeds from three different sellers, to grow Uvaria rufa. I once got a single seed to germinate, but the plant was always a sickly runt and died within weeks. I wish I could help you with some rare Annonaceae seeds and growing advice, but I have pretty much given up on growing them. Maybe they are rare for a reason, as I have never had any problems germinating the common types of Annonas.
I have a few Annonas for sale, but the only species which is not already on your list is Annona cherimola, the cherimoya, and most growers claim that species is quite difficult to successfully grow in Florida. I have, so far, had success with my cherimoyas by keeping them in part shade during Alabama's long, hot, humid summer. I do not know whether that is something Florida growers have experimented with or whether it is Florida's winters that negatively affect cherimoyas (when mine are in a nice, climate controlled growing area).

I have grown quite a few Uvaria chamae and they have over wintered and gone on to season 2. I could probably spare a 1 gallon if you are interested in one

Yeah, I'm getting absolutely crushed by germination rates and not sure why. Temperatures and moisture are great so I'm assuming bad seeds or there's some kind of pretreatment method that I'm ignorant to.
