Saturday night--55. Next Thursday--51. In Deerfield, colder where you live.More cold fronts on the way--excellent!Really?
Agree! Love that tree and fruit.Once you get an Alano in the ground it grows pretty quick if you take care of it.
I second this..had an Alano in a pot for a couple years and now that it's been in the ground for a couple years its taken off...and at any given moment the tree is flushing, flowering and fruiting all at the same time ...really a workhorse of a tree.
It would appear that the Coochie Island Atemoya is the variety named Island Gem that originated on the island of Coochie mudlo island in Brisbane moreton bay...... Why do nurseries need to give plants new names? Mike
Frankly cherimoyas have always been really expensive in California. I remember 30 years ago when i lived there they sold for 5-6 dollars a pound. A lot higher priced than now if you figure in that the dollar was worth a lot more back then. But i was pleasantly surprised when i moved to Hawaii and found them for 2-3 dollars a pound. I don't really understand why because they are not widely grown here either.True. Back in the 80's they were that expensive.
sounds like a great resource I will definatly use it, but they don't seem to have compost, compost is broken down mulch so it's quite different material, any sources for good fresh local compost?What city do you live in? Naples? Some cities offer free compost, like Plantation.
Exotica nursery in vista will have lemon zest and sweet tart. I got the last coconut cream from them two months a go. I know they can order more.
What then would be a good alternative to Fl Hass? Wurtz or something else?Maybe Oro Negro? (But does it bear consistently, and not alternately?)
I still have so many things to try, but so far here are my favorites.Interesting list. What do you think of mango and cherimoya?
1. Mangosteen
2. Durian
3. Blackberries and Huckleberries
4. Jackfruit
5. Pomegranate
