Hi Ray,

My Grimal has fruit ripening right now. If you notice in the 1st pic, a.graft from your Trunciflora is pushing out. Yay!

Daintree, I'm glad to hear that it actually works.  I'll have to find a fruit at the market to try this out now.

Thanks for the tip.

Thank you as well George, for the nice and healthy scions. It took me two evenings to graft them all, but they're all done. 

Simon,

The bottom fruit is an 8-S, which is one of Paul Thompson's hybrids



Below is 8-S cut open (bottom fruit)



Houghton (One of the parents of 8-S) next to 8-S.  As you can see, it's very similar.

I wonder if anyone of us outside of Sven or Leo have experienced this variety?

I got mine from Leo a few years ago and had my first bloom this year.  I had a fruit growing and developing, but a last month it just turned yellow and fell off.    It's a very small fruit and supposed to be delicious.  I hope to have it flower and have better luck next year.

Thank you MarinFla.  Good luck on your little seedlings.

xshen,

I used a cleft graft and bagged the grafted branch.

Thank you Thera and Scott.  It's in large 20 or 25 gallon pot.  I'm still debating whether to put it in the ground or not.  Best of luck on your grafts Scott.

Here's my first attempt at grafting Sabara Jaboticaba.  Below are photos of the progression over 4 months time.  I guess it turned out pretty good.

Thank you Rodney.  Very useful information.  How much compost do you use in the nylon stocking? 

Hi Gary,

I just harvested my last fruit about a week ago.  They all held on the tree over the winter from last year.  I suppose it just takes that long to ripen?  My atemoya is full of flowers right now as well.  Does it just ripen faster in Florida?  Glad to hear that Geffner is creamy and not chewy.  I'd like to try that one one day.

Behl,

Please put me down for one perforated roll.

Thanks!

Thank you for the pix Mike.  It certainly doesn't look like we're even comparing the same fruit.  The African Pride in Australia seems like a completely different fruit than the ones here.  I wonder who has the real one.  There could have been a mix up here or over there as many of the African Prides here look very similar to mine it seems.

I think I'll keep the atemoya tree around in a pot, but I really enjoy cherimoya considerably more.  One day, I hope I'll get to try my own Rollina fruit.
