I get tops from the edible flower shops that offer fruit baskets as well as flowers. Also I am told Publix gives tops away.

I planted one last year and got fruit in 6 months, been looking for additional plants to no avail, I live on Treasure coast. Suggestions please? Btw, I love the taste, the plant is blooming now. Trouble free but has tiny thorns at leaf base.

My neighbor has a sapodilla that just started fruiting after 20 years. Talk about patience.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Lisa atemoya and Grumichama cherry

« on: June 07, 2017, 05:57:54 PM »

I have a Lisa atemoya purchased from a local nursery and it is 3 years old. I have three small fruit for the first time, naturally pollinated but the tree looks more like a shrub than a tree. It has a central stem but it is only about 2 inches in diameter and it has 4 very long branches . It is nout 5 feet tall and just as wide. No central stem above the 4 branches that almost touch the ground. I m supporting it with ropes and stakes. It is mulched and gets regular weekly watering. Is this growth natural? Had lots of flowers in April and. Few now. How can I get more fruit. This is my first atemoya and don't know what to expect.

Mt grumichama is 4 years old and about 6 feet with two main branches but very few fruit, it gets regular water and fertilizer but vas very slow growth, suggestions to make it more vigorous please?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Dragon Fruit on the Treasure Coast

I moved into a house that had several large vines growing in oak trees, I successfully made cuttings and planted them in the ground on a ladder type trellis, they are blooming But no fruit. Is it too hot? I tried to polinate with brush on flowering about 6 weeks ago and just recently tried shaking them, lots of pollen but of 13 flowers on two 6 ft vines no fruit. Suggestions please. I do not know the variety.
