Tommy AtkinsWhy you say that?
Was a joke come on
Not sure about such a joke, a properly ripened Tommy Atkins may just very well be better than a Graham.
Did you plant a tommy atkins tree in your yard rob?
The sugar apples did start softening up, I just ate two of them. They are very good, much more like cherimoya than I was expecting. I actually like the "sugar cookie" texture of the area near the rind more than cherimoya. If these are bad specimens I am looking forward to trying highly rated types. The cherimoyas I've eaten were from grocery stores, from California I assume.

Chris Wenzel (Truly Tropical) says underripe Graham is good to excellent, and is a good substitute for Julie in Florida. DO NOT EAT THEM TOO RIPE! Rob, do you hate Julie, too?Graham....🤢💩🤦♂️
Ok thank you next Graham! Thank you fro sharing that!
Oh, come on guys. DirtDiva was sharing her experience, and the topic drifted off the question that MotherOfDragonfruit was posting about and turned into a "snipe-fest".the problem is that people are ignorant . they think they know it all has to be done their way don't know it's about the experience growing as well and joy it can bring to someone . It pretty much made it as a little bonsais pretty cool something similar
EVERYBODY is learning about something, and NOBODY knows everything about everything.
Lots of folks on this forum know LOTS about plants, but we need to practice a little kindness, too. Snarkyness is never constructive.

I prefer the taste of E-4I have heard that E-4 has a longer flavor window then M4. I hope M4 is not difficult to determine when to pick for Peak flavor as others have said about peach cobbler.
I have a honey bell setting flowers.

I guess you didn't read my post .... I just fed chelated iron and holly tone new growth coming and it is getting greener daily !
We haven't heard from MangoFang in Palm Springs in more than two years, but he seemed to always describe his mangos as intensely flavored. I believe his LZs were sublime. Makes sense--the dry, desert heat.
Perhaps it's not the pot. I know that they can do great in a 7 gallon pot for the rest of their lives. They really are better of in pots. I don't really know what else to say as I'm not that experiences with miracle fruit, but like I said they can grow perfectly in a container so you should look at the other aspects of how you are growing it.
Hope this helps.
E-4 (I dont like the name Sugarloaf) for the most part is a mid season where the month of July is its sweet spot. I have seen it ripen in the later part of June and the early part of August.
Thanks a lot Rob! That's what I was hoping. I planted Guava as my early, E4 as my mid season, and Venus as my late(r)..tough finding a late season one that produces reliably, resistant to MBBS, with exceptional taste (Venus will get MBBS but at that point I'm hoping other late season varieties may be available to graft on my tree).
