FGM, as always, great job with your sugar apples. Every year you produce these beautiful fruits. Thanx for sharing the pics.

J, that Cal LZ looks beautiful.

 FGM, nice pics. Thanx for the report. Noris is a great person. I definitely need to include the Festival on my "to do" list.

FGM thanx for the info. Are there any Vallenato plants being sold by any nurseries???

Same here Carlos. Had two more......seedless and excellent quality.

Nice fruits coming along and NICE PICS

Comprade, se me hace la boca agua...

Felipe esos nisperos/sapotes estan riquisimos.

I have read you can spray hormones during flowering to induce fruit set without pollination. You can get a seedless tomato like this. Could this not have been the case here?

That did not happen.

I would like to get our forum members' input on this variety or phenomenon. I know there is a seedless variety which I was told it wasn't very good as far the quality of the fruit. However, I was visiting one of my friends grove a few weeks back and to my surprise most of the saps did not have any seeds. Out of eight that I have eaten, only big one had seeds and it was only two seeds. The first ones I ate were medium size and round. None of them had seeds. I thought it was confined to just one tree then I ate a couple that were elongated with a pointy tip at the bottom of the fruit and they did not have seeds as well. All of them are of excellent eating quality. Some more red than other. Some more of cinnamon taste than others. Does pollination play a role in the amount of seeds that sapodillas produce??? 

CarCarlo thanx for sharing.

I believe the benefit is that you can get better coverage because the fog that is created will go Into all the nooks in between branches and leaves. When using a normal sprayer, the particles are large and will fall with gravity, it will not wind it's way inbetween thick foliage. If you are spraying something that needs direct contact to kill your target bad bug, you may miss much of the surface area of the plant with a normal sprayer. I believe the atomizer sprayer is also very efficient with its use of whatever you are spraying.

Simon, well put!!!That's what I was told. That's why I am looking into it however it is pricey.

We talked about it. I will pm you. Thanx.

Is anyone using an atomizer for their foliar spray. If so, can you share your experience? Is it worth the money?

With Cangrejo's Sugar Apple you have to be very patient. I grafted mine in January and they started to push 2 weeks ago. They looked  like they were dead however after scratching under the buddy tape, they were still green. I think Ethan had the same experience when he first grafted Cangrejo's S.A. I don't know if this latency is typical of the variety or is typical for a S.A. when grafted or grafted on Cherimoya.

I also noticed that in my area now is the best time to graft Custard Apples and Ilamas.

This sugar apple wouldn't work in Argentina too cold there it's for SoCal

I will stop by tomorrow. I have some root stock to play with.
