One of my favorite fruits and a highlight when I find them at the Fruit & Spice Park!

They do take a while to germinate, I finally got some seedlings going.

Here are some new flowers that are just starting to open up, very fragrant.

The size of the fruit may not be easy to figure out from the pic, but they are about 1.5 - 2 in. long.

Anyone know where I can buy Artabotrys hexapetalus, Climbing Ylang Ylang, in South Florida? I know of one place, Gardino Nursery in Delray Beach, looking to see if there is something closer.

Thanks,
Jaime

The pulp has the texture of a delicious, ripe mango!

Yeah, I usually get rid of some of my poor-tasting papaya trees as the fruit attracts rodents to my yard.

Jaime

After eating all that CA and FL has to offer in terms of fruits, I can tell you that my all time favorite fruit is CA grown cherimoya. The only time CA cherimoya slips to #2 is when we have an exceptional mango year and CA has a poor cherimoya year (flavor of both is slightly variable), in which case mango will edge out cherimoya.

If you've ever had the ability to compare a backyard grown FL mango to a supermarket mango -- that gaping difference in quality is similar to the wide chasm of quality that separates CA cherimoya from supermarket cherimoyas. I've literally thrown supermarket moyas in the trash.

Sugar apple vs cherimoya is like comparing cocoplum or surinam cherry to Sweet Tart mango -- it's a joke. The latter is an entirely different class of fruit.

You need to order cherimoya from CA growers. I normally buy mine from Park Hill Orchard. CA cherimoya season is just around the corner.

Jeff, do you have a link for Park Hill Orchard?

Sorry for reusing the same image from a different thread, but wanted to see if anyone knew what type of papaya this is. It's a very sweet, seedless, non-smelly, but small (grapefruit-sized) fruit.

Also, any ideas as to the seedless part? I read that this is most likely due to being females with no pollination, but usually the flavor is subpar on those, Not the case on this one.



Jaime

Finally ate the ripened cherimoya and while not bad, it also wasn't exceptional in any way. I have fond memories of eating cherimoya as a kid in Chile and this does not compare. Not sure the ones in California will either since its hard to compare against childhood memories.

Anyway, this cherimoya was OK but not as good as my home-grown sugar apples. As a matter of fact, my Sugar apples are the best tasting annonas I've ever had (with the exception of the aforementioned childhood cherimoyas), including rollinias, atemoyas, red sugar apples, custard, etc.

Regarding the natal plum, the first year mine flowered a lot with no fruits. This year, however, it has flowered and fruited seemingly non-stop. It has about 5-10 fruits on it at any given time. So you should get rewarded next year if that is their pattern.

Also, their flavor is not out of this world, but it does grow on you. And the latex issue doesn't help either.

I'd be happy if at least 2-3 of my trees started fruiting for the first time every year. That would definitely be worth it.

The frustrating part for me is when a tree flowers without fruiting. It's happened on my Ross Sapote and especially on my Ice Cream Bean. It is constantly flowering but never sets fruit. It is over 30 ft. tall with plenty of flowers. It must be related to pollination.

Another frustrating plant is dragon fruit. I gets loads of flowers, but very little fruit, even though I try to be diligent with my hand pollination, but it may need a different variety. Here is a pic of the plants about to bust out flowering on top of my shed:
