Almost all the scions I got are starting to push now! 

anyone growing Noir de Spain here? how does it taste like compare to Pakistan?

there's really no need to buy this expensive stuff in my opinion if you have worms already in your soil. Just feed them lots of organic matter like compost and used coffee grounds you can get for free from coffee shops.

Big thanks to gunnar429 for the scion he gave me last year. Here's a little progress video on how a small chip bud graft do in 7 months.

and here it is today full of fruit!

Got my scions yesterday!  I started grafting yesterday on my cherimoya. Gonna continue the rest today.

What type of graft do you guys typically do on annonas? I'm doing the z-graft method on them because I got 100% success rate with it on my citrus, stone fruit trees, etc. this past couple of months.

Does T-bud graft work on them?

It seems it can be peeled rather easily:

the sumo mandarins we get at the stores here look nothing like that inside. much less of that white skin. I'll take a pic when I get the chance.

I like weird looking fruit. I'll add that to the list

waiting for the cherimoya list before finalizing my order

Hi!  I'm interested in buying 2 or 3 Jaboicabas - my first ones.  What would you recommend for 1. ease of fruiting in containers and 2. the best but most different flavors.  Thanks.

Also, where's the best place to read on how to grow and fruit these plants?

You can try growing the  red jabo ,the grimal or coronata var restinga.The red jabo and coronata restinga are early bearing which start fruiting in three years.The red jabo like what i read can be easily grown in container and seems to be fast growing and i have one seedling nearly 4 months.The coronata restinga and grimal can handle tap water

I can concur on the Coronata restinga being able to handle tap water. Our tap here is terrible and the Coronata looks the best out of my jabos and also the fastest growing.

I wish I've gotten more of them instead and use them as rootstock for other varieties.

How can one tell the difference between the two? I know Melogold are supposed to be bigger in size and thinner rind, but I've gotten fruit from a couple of friends locally with huge fruit from their Oro Blanco trees. Not sure if they're really Melogolds instead of Oro blanco. No nurseries in town ever sell any Melogold trees. Most haven't even heard of that variety.

Here's a pic of the fruit from her tree
 

How many years before fruiting age on the Otto Anderson?

that's impressive growth! What do you feed them and how often?

you got a source for the article? I'd love to read it. I've read before of using aspirin when planting tomatoes, adding it into the planting hole or foliar spray. Here's a link to the paper.
