just spoke to my mom. I gave her two cherimoya fruits from my seedling trees. One the size of my fist, second one a bit smaller. They are from two diff trees.  Mom said it's good. few seeds and good taste and flavors.  One of the tree is about 10ft tall. Last year, it gave two fruits. This year about 5 fruits.  I think it will give me more fruits as the tree mature.  Tree is 8-9yrs old from seed.

I don't know the varieties as all of them are seed grown from store bought each time I encountered a delicious fruit thru out the years.  I only plant the seed from best tasty variety that I ate.  I had several varieties that are not good and I don't even bother to grow them as they would be a waste of time,resources. Most of them are 7-8yrs old tree from seeds now and 5 trees actually bear pretty good  tasty fruits.  There was one tree about 2-3yrs old, and it's gave 5  small fruit, about the size of a teenage girl's fist ( i can't blame the tree for the small fruit since it's about 2ft tall and has about 5-6 fruits on it), it has  few seeds, sweet,acidic, and texture is not sandy or mushy.   Mom and sister-in-law gave it 5 thumbs up.

invest in a cheap  greenhouse  and start growing cherimoya yourself.  That is just crazy for that price. All of my cherimoya tree do not get any special care or fertilizers.  No chemicals. All it gets are compost and mulch. and sun + H2O.

mine is in the unheated greenhouse , still got some green leaves. 2yrs old about 1foot tall.
lowest was 29F inside greenhouse.

Low 29F for 1-2hrs last night. banana leaves burned.  cherimoya leaves also burned for those that don't get sunrise sun.  Mango seems to be ok since they get morning sunrise sun.

Here's my list:

durian
mangosteen
mango
all the cherimoya,sugar apple ,etc..
june plum
guava
longan
lychee

very nice collection.

maybe some one accidentally started the fire. Like throwing cigarette butts while driving down the freeway/street. Seen lots of people do that.

They should start producing a lot more once the trees are fully mature. Cherimoya trees can get huge and you can easily get over 100 fruit on an established large tree. Annonas are definitely worth planting. Did you get any exceptional tasting fruit from your seed grown trees?

one tree has 5 fruits. The rats/squirrel drop all of them to the ground. I found only 4 and 1 missing. And one was eaten at the bottom about 1/6th of the way.  I cut it off and eat , it was very good  flavors, sweet and acidic and seems to have the same flavors as the parent. Share a 2nd one today with my sis, this one seems to somehow has more seeds than the previous one. Mom ate the other two, she said one has lots of seeds, and the 2nd one has less seeds.  Not sure why some has more seeds than others. Maybe because I hand pollinated it with a mix of different trees.

one of the tress has fruits that looks like atemoya, very pointy and sticks out , not sure if it's cherimoya or atemoya.  Mom ate that one and she says very good. less sees, sweet and acidic, and flavorful.

I need to protect the rest of the fruits so the rats/squirrel don't get to them as they are still not ready to pick yet.

i would love to get one too.

my koala started from seeds 8-10yrs ago still has no fruits yet. Each year, i keep saying "maybe this year it will fruit".

I have moringa seeds that I trade them with. Let me know if anyone is interested in trading.

yes, i noticed that irregular watering seems to be causing mine to split too. not just NDM, but in general, other mangos as well.
