Tropical Fruit Discussion / Help ! What fruit tree can I grow next to paver?
« on: March 25, 2018, 10:08:10 PM »
This is a picture of my side yard. The bed is about 24 inches wide and 30 ft. Long. The walk path is 48 inches wide. I have a small yard and would like to plant just fruit trees. Currently I have a Guava, white sapodila and two figs  plants (one of the fig plant I just dug out) will dig the rest of plants out this week. The fig plants roots started pushing up the pavers and its a mess during fruiting season. The guava plant isnt very good and sapodila isn't doing too well also I read that their root system is very invasive.  I would like to replace these trees with fruit tree with less invasive root system. If possible,  I would like to plant a row of Annona.
 

Are Annona root system invasive? What other fruit tree can/should I grow in the bed? Any suggestions is much appreciated!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: LaVerne's Vietnamese Cherimoya Info
« on: March 08, 2018, 11:08:18 AM »
I purchased a Vietnamese Cherimoya from Lowes a year a go.  Last year it put out some flowers (slender and fuzzy looking compared to the honeyheart). I did not get any fruit from the tree. Do I need another variety to pollinate it? The Vietnamese Cherimoya is the only annona plant that is flushing with buds right now.  Can someone give me a review on the taste?  I already have a bunch of AP grafting on it but was wondering if I should graft some more.

Thank you in advance!

Should I pinch some of the new growth off?  My other seedlings have as much as 20 new growth.
Any input is deeply appreciated. Thank you!

It is very addictive! I started grafting last month. Practicing on every thing! I grafted lime, kumquat, grapefruit, orange onto a lemon tree, grapefruit on lime tree, Wax apple onto rose apple seedling, atemoya and honeyheart onto Vietnamese cherymoya, Atemoya onto honeyheart cherymoya, red guava onto white guava, dragon fruit onto dragon fruit and a dozen or so Atemoya onto cherymoya seedling. Crossing my fingers andlooking forward to the next few month!

Thank you Fruitfooll for your reply. I haven't try grafting yet I'll probably kill those scions.  Hope to get some practice in spring with some cherymoya seedlings  ;D

There's a nursery in Anaheim you can pick and buy fruits for pretty reasonable price. They actually provide the fruits to local fruit stands in OC. They have all sort Annona fruits, phet pakchong, AP, even sugar apple :).

Here the address if anyone's interested. There's no sign in the front.

10722 n magnolia avenue, Anaheim ( Stanton) ca 92804

How about African Pride. I am in North San Diego County. My tree have been in ground for about three years. It has over 50 fruits this year. The fruits are chewy, sweet and so delicious this year.

Greetings and Happy New Year!

My name is Lily.  I love reading this forum, a wealth of information. For Christmas I wished for green thumbs  and some Annona plants.

We moved from the IE to San Diego about three years ago. I have about 30 fruit trees around the house. Most of the three were purchased from HD ( the typical plants  guava, figs, lime, plum, etc…), which I am  regretting and planting to dig them all up.   I have  an African Pride Atemoya, soursop, lychee, longan and a wax apple plant  purchased from ong's nursery three years ago. Two cherimoya purchased from Lowes last year.  I also have some Thai lessard and Vietnamese sugar apple seedlings from eBay a year ago  they are growing quite well outdoor. The  only tree that produced well  for me is the AP, it produced about 50 excellent fruits . Last year I Got 10 longan fruits and about five wax apple, 12 cherimoya fruit the size of a golf ball that tasted like ... non from other tropical plants. .  I hope the master gardeners here can help me improve my gardening skill!
