I am in zone 10 B. I have read the cherimoyas don't grow well in this area. Is there one that will grow well in this area and produce good fruit? Thank youSo far, no. It hasn't been discovered yet. You could try atemoya.
My favorite this year might be green gold. Solid flavor, late season. That was out of Hass, Lamb Hass, Ota, Sharwil, Holiday, Murashige, and a few others.Wow! Still hoping that one might be a possibility for Florida.
There was only one seller of Cherimoya and Attemoya at last Wednesday’s market, Rincon Del Mar. the bumpy unnamed Attemoya was for me the best so far.
Thanks for giving Orton Englehart credit in Honeyhart's name. I agree that there are many different cherimoyas and a multigrafted tree is the way to go. Cherimoya grafts so easily that you could pick up any cherimoya and graft it with different varieties as it grows. Lots of scionwood out there.(I wonder what happened to Orton Englehart's ranch in Escondido. A quiet but industrious little man. Met him and Ann back in the 70's. Their fruit was the best.) Are atemoyas as easy to graft as cherimoyas?
One thing that is not mentioned frequently enough is that avocados increase in richness when left on the tree an extra long time. I discovered this when I tasted some Hass from my tree that was hanging about 18 months. The butter factor was so high, it was like I was eating a Reed or some Hawaiian avocado.Good point. That's why even West Indian avocados grown in Florida taste pretty good when they stay on the tree long enough--Simmonds, Choquette, etc.
This avocado is pretty good but it has a lot of sandy like kidney stones in the meat. I have never seen anything like this. Is there such a thing?My friend's Choquette avocados had those "stones" some years, but not every year. And if I recall correctly, most years it did NOT have them. But the tree got too large for a small yard so it had to be removed. It was a good, but not great, variety, and looked similar to the avocado pictured here. It was a large avocado.
I haven't fruited a sugar apple yet...they don't seem to grow well for me.You're probably right that it's a recessive trait. I had a little sugar apple tree started from seed that was gorgeous, but Irma wiped it out.
I would assume as the purple ones grow larger, the will turn red.
As for the green ones, I guess that's a product of sexual reproduction.
The red color may be a recessive trait.
I am looking for Dream cherimoya to buy, anyone have or know the source that would sell me few Dream cherimoya?Wayne Clifton in Bradenton, the originator of this fruit. Do a forum search with his name.
Thanks,

I recently discovered an unnamed tree at a friends home..that's about 60 years old and 50 feet tall, loaded with some of the best tasting avacados I've ever had..I have 10 named cultivarsWouldn't it be great if someone would graft it onto young rootstock and propagate it? Is all the fruit blemished like in the photo?
avacado trees at my place but this one tops them all..I think better than Hass
