Thanks Aaron.

Hi wonderfruit, what tree are you planning on grafting them onto?

Jeff, sorry if the question was vague.  Here is more details on each question:

- What is the variety of the parent trees?   This one is straight forward, just want to know the parent(s) of the seeds.

- Have they been tested in Florida?  Most tree improvement programs are beneficial but based on a recurrent selection.  I am not sure if there was such tree improvement or "testing" on the seedlings being sold.  As you know, Durian is not a household tree here and was just curious on the history from the seller.  For example, was there any type of testing such as planting 1000 seeds and seeing which ones do better in our climate.

I hope it makes a little more sense now what I was asking from the seller.

Thanks.

I picked up some nice Barnel loppers from pne tools.  They have a good discount if you mention Tropical Fruit Forum - promo code "mango".  To get the special pricing, you must send an email to sales@pnetools.com and they will place the order by email/phone with the discount.

Congrats, nice looking fruit and fast growth.  I am still waiting for mines to flower after 5 years in the ground.

Has anyone been able to get their hands on one of these purple sugar apples?

What did you use to pollinate the flower?

My Winterset is flowering.   The Hudson has not flowered yet.

Adam, Mr. Minh looks promising, do you have a picture of the tree/fruit set for this year?  Thanks.

Another option for hedge would be cocoplum (Chrysobalanus icaco).

The best so far in taste for me has been the "red lady" frutabomba.  It has a super sweet flavor, when making juice you barely need to add sugar if at all.

I also think the issue is Sugar Apple rootstock was used on your Gefner Atemoya.  Make sure the new tree you purchase is using Atemoya rootstock or even better Cherimoya rootstock.     You might want to talk to Adam to see if he can make you a Gefner with Cherimoya rootstock.
