The right growing condition for top tier cherimoyas won't necessarily work for the best atemoyas and vice versa so this head to head battle will most likely never play out.....unless you have contenders fly in from sources, and destination having very lax regulations (eg. Vietnam)

I wonder how top Australian atemoyas fair grown on US soil

lol  just want to make sure it's still fresh in everyone's mind

California?  There was a guy back on gardenweb, from New Jersey I believe?  Fruited his mangosteen in a pot.  How's that?

How'z that?  That's a fraud, that's how that was.  It was a kid playing a joke on us serious rare fruiters.  It was a total hoax.

People do get lucky with seedlings here and there but you'd also have to keep in mind the California factor.

The original Choc Anon graft was done by the nurseryman where I got them from, I did not graft them myself.  I only grafted the Lemon Zest so I don't have actual experience to give you pointers... but it really doesn't look that difficult if you're familiar with veneer method. 

I thought it's interesting grafting onto a variety that produce multiple crops.  I've never tasted Choc Anon but going against Xoài Cát Hòa Lộc and the likes, I don't understand the fascination since most farms induce their trees for out of season fruits anyway?

Good luck with your graft Max, keep us posted.

Do you really? I have friends that praise raccoon meat but never tried myself... How is it?
Those damn things harass my Jack Russell , he doesn't back down but their pack could destroy him.

Quote from: Mark in Texas link=topic=7770.msg100050#msg100050 date=138214979te
I season grilled raccoon with about a TBSP. of garlic powder per pound.   We Texans also grow more hair on our chest by adding garlic powder to our morning cup of coffee.  You hairless Asians ought take heed.  :)

A monster indeed... So much for the double grafted slow growth theory. Though stacking two vigorous varieties may not be the best?

I did not... And still don't... Have the gonads to perform a sure handed single node graft.
But I'm sure it's not that hard... Good luck Thera

Did you notice the cut opposite the original graft? It's done on every grafted plant... Very interesting

No I remember the one Bruce posted.. But this thread goes way back to prehistoric gardenweb... Before TFF was a twinkle in Murahilin & PJ's eyes in their lonely elevator ride together

74
Does anyone remember an older post on gardenweb forum by (Felipe/Philippe?) showing several different types of atemoyas?  One of which was a really big & beautiful golden yellow atemoya that sort of looks like a massive sugar apple?

75
Wow that looks way closer to squamosa than cherimola
