I was reading an IFAS paper on Atemoya in Florida http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/mg332.  The authors point out noted
 "Atemoya is not graft compatible with pond apple and therefore the use of an interstock is required"

I am trying Atemoya on pond apple and for now it looks like I have a couple of takes but I know they can still fail.
My question is, do any of you know what interstock works?
The authors used "49-11" which they described as " a 'Gefner' atemoya x A. reticulata hybrid"
Does anyone have scions of this hybrid?  or any tested interstock?

I intend to continue trying different atemoya on pond apple but I am open to try using this two step approach to get there.

I know there is a chart on the forum of graft compatibility and will be searching for it all afternoon

By the way, all is not lost.  After last years limited success, I started some cherimoya for root stock and some of my graft this year on 1 year old seedlings of cherimoya.

 I just grafted this one from scions that Frank so graciously provided. I was looking at it last night and it shows signs of beginning to push. I'm getting excited. What is your opinion about it's flavor ?

Just curious....what did you graft your Ilama scions onto? My grafts from spring of the Genova Red and Frank's Anona Rosada confinue to have a tough time when I grafted them onto my un-named Ilama "Twiggy".  They continue to struggle but are still alive.  My hope is that the new summer grafts I made directly onto Cherimoya stock will fair better.

Anona Rosada graft slowly growing new (red leaves) with Twiggy leaves in background.

Ilama will not work (grafts will fail or struggle and fail) when grafted to itself.

Some pond apple works for ilama and some cherimoya (I have seen it fail on certain cherimoya).  When on Sugar Apple it usually flourishes, has trouble setting fruit/sets mo fruit and then seems to die out of nowhere.

Pure A.squamosa in a tropical climate can set fruit within 2 years from being a seed as I see with my big eyes variety.Three or four years might be more usual. The vagaries of growing in a pot or outside a tropical environment can come into play. Lessard looks to me to be half way between sugar apple and atemoya and growing seedlings to fruiting is a different and perhaps more challenging prospect if it is a hybrid.

Anyone have success with propagating this?

Yes m, in Yucatan red flesh Sugar Apple

Hi Bob I have some great A. Ret. seeds here are two Duguetia Uniflora on A. Ret. rootstock and growing faster than the Duguetia Tree I got the scions from. I'm currently trying, Guanabana and Rollinia on A. Reticulata rootstock, will see if it compatibility works.
