One year, plus,  in paper bag at room temperature.  Then soak for one day in warm water.  Preferably without saying anything sour or gibberish within their hearing!

I have not gotten to try this yet.  Definitely not widely available yet.

They flower on new growth.
Irma defoliated.
Now there is new growth.

Most of the splotching on the Lemon Zests pictured, is natural coloration of the variety, like patches of woods in fields of golden grain.

The fruit on the right does have some blackening, possibly anthracnose, on top of a natural green-colored spot.

Nice work, Peter.

How do you deal with the latex?

If your Surinam-Cherries are seedlings, they are NOT named varieties, until they have fruited, been considered special in some nice way, and then provided with a fresh new name. 

Any seed produced by plant-sex (pollination) is a new variety, and will not be reproducible by seed.

Named varieties must be reproduced vegetatively:  by grafting, by air-layering, etc.

The 'Zill Dark' was selected by Dorothy Zill (wife of the founder of Zill Nursery), and it was named by me, when I saved it by moving it from the original nursery when the place was sold.  Yes, it should be sold as grafted plants.

It is O.K. to sell seedlings, and it is O.K. to identify which tree the seed came from, just so it is worded to make clear that these are not that named variety.

You would pay more for shipping than for the fertilizer.  Better buy locally.

By the way, many of us now advocate higher potassium formulas, such as 8-2-12, with minors.

1 to 2 teaspoons.

Are there any "fruiting bodies" (tiny mushrooms) on those dark spots on the cherimoya leaves?  If not, it may be sunburn, burn from use of Neem oil or other oil in hot weather.

Well written.

The patent is on the genetic package as a whole of that variety, not on the individual markers;  so as soon as reshuffling occurs (during plant sex) all is immediately fair to use.

Thank you, PineIslander, for the updated, upbeat research paper on contaminants in yard wastes composts.

It shows, on page 37, that the current study's mean concentration, from 12 samples taken in Palm Beach County ("southeast"), of Lead (Pb), was 3.09 mg/kg.
That was a huge improvement over the 2002 Palm Beach study referenced on page 29, for which the result was 60.2.

Also in 2002, I was running a small commercial composting experiment for a resort near US-1 in southeastern Palm Beach County, which showed similarly high levels of Lead.

The cambium is transparent, and it is too thin to see with the naked eye.

Vaseline or Tanglefoot or other grease or undeluted oil directly on bark, kills the bark;  that is why I asked, after seeing the picture of apparently dead bark.
