Most green Wax Jambu that I have tried in California are rather bland.  The green Wax Jambu I have tried in Thailand are pretty good, but I still like the red/pink varieties better.  I tried the Perfume Wax Jambu at Ong's in San Diego and I was at first very skeptical. The taste was pretty good, firm, not mealy, sweet and had that rose water taste I like in the red/pink varieties.  I haven't tried dozens of Wax Jambu, so I am no expert, but I still like the Black Pearl variety.  For me it has more of that rose water taste and is nice, crisp, and sweet.

Dragon-It is sweet not sour. I tried to root cuttings like the link below. Yes, I'm Vietnamese.
Fyliu-sure np...

I read and followed  the branch cutting propergation in this website , but always failed. I am suck. I remembered eating green wax jambu in Vietnam when I was back there. It was sweeter than any red jambu I used to eat. I did not know the variety, but called it "mận xanh". Now in US, I'v tried to look for it, but there are many varieties . I have no idea, so I just look for whatever wax jambu that tastes sweet rather than sour or  taseless.

Anyone know where to get one of these varieties in Florida or from a Online US based store?
I wouldn't mind growing it in a pot.

"Atemoyas" are "Annona hybrids" of Annona Squamosa with Annona Cherimola.   When you mix in ilama or reticulata, the resulting plants and fruits are other types of "Annona hybrids", and these should not be called "atemoyas."

There actually are Annona hybrids that are part reticulata that are absolutely delicious, but 47---18 is usually tastless (at least under the growing conditions in which I had it), with a tough rubbery gritty texture, and with a soft bruisable skin.  The two very substantial positives are high productivity without hand-pollination, even in poor growing conditions;  and the gorgeous skin color.

I think as soon as A.reticulata genes come in the flavour and quality diminish.I have seen atemoyas that are reddish and from memory Maroochy gold is red brown quite often.I have also seen a few seedling brumby atemoyas with some red on the skin. Getting red skin and the great taste of top atemoyas is the challenge rather than some bland gefner tasting one.

Mike is absolutely correct. You do not want to contaminate any great tasting anona with a.reticulata.....people want to know the taste of 47-18 it's grainy and it taste like arm& hammer

I'm sorry...but I have a serious addiction. I still want it! I'll be bugging you soon Frank.

I understand but you are going to have to wait for our cross above lol

A kind friend shared scions with me of Petch Pakchong and Nuathong but unfortunately the labeling was lost.  Can you guys help me put a name to these plants?

The first one grows with more of a bushy habit the leaves are thinner and more pointed. (I added the fly for size comparison)



The other has large rounded leaves and is growing upright like a tree.



Here are the two side by side.



Thank you!

lol. I wanted 47-18 so bad that I purchased seeds last year. My babies are growing nicely.

U have pics of seedlings??

It would be fun to observe the variation

Never know what kind of hybridization might have gone on...could have been pollinated by another annona (if was from me
