Need Help to ID This Atemoya- Closed - AP
« on: February 04, 2024, 11:00:46 PM »
I looked at some of the Gefner photos people posted and my fruit almost looks just like it.

I bought the Dr. White fruits from Brad and it looks different from the fruits I ate and grafted on my tree a few years ago.

Can you look at my fruit photos (got fruits from a friend) and let me know what variety it is. The person who has the trees does not know the name, just said it was an Atemoya with good size fruits which tastes good.

From the pictures it looks like a geffner. How does the taste compare to the cherimoyas you ate ?

The taste of most of the atemoya and cherimoya I have tasted were very sweet and good so I couldn't detect any major differences. I ate the El Bumpo, Gefner, AF, Arka Sahan, Pierce, Dr White, but not at the same time. I don't get any fruits on my trees yet, so the fruits are from others trees.

I lean towar AP because of the internal black sack surrounding the seed.

The one in the bottom photo looks like AP and also the dark sports around the seeds like seng said. 

Those fruit will get sweeter if left longer.  AP turn slightly yellowish and get sticky on the outside when it's really ripe. 

The LM3 is a better atemoya Kaz.  I wouldn't bother growing AP.  Either regular cherimoya or LM3 are better fruits. Personally I think cherimoya is a lot better than atemoya.  Not so chewy and cleaner flavors.  A pierce, honeyhart, Inca red, are all going to blow these atemoyas away.

Ok, thanks for everyone's feedback.

I will call this one Mao-AP since I got the scionwood from this person who has the trees and fruits are from his large tree.
