Interesting tests Peter,  can't wait for more.

Raul's illama (annona diversifolia) seeds cracking open, one week after 24hr soak in GA3.

Thanks!

What a pretty picture JF,I can almost smell them from here!

I know a gentleman with an A. Sericicarpus in the ground in Mia. It is not big enough to fruit yet. They are giant trees so prune early. The fruit is good, mostly just sweet but not alot of flesh surrounding the seed. IMHO there are better tasting artocarpus, jack fruit, chempedak, chempeJack, Kwai muk, possibly chama? If you could pull it off, marang  (A.odoratissimus) is delicious but seems a little more tender than pedalai.

Just received an email, he is alive and healthy.

Great job!

Ha ha ha, that is what I get for doing internet stuff so late at night. Though i prefer randia, i am mostly ok with atractocarpus. Thanks for staightening me out

In Central CA,  Malika was the first fruit to drop, with a few more on the tree. Pickering, Graham and M. Lauriana are starting to change. Lancetilla and LZ still bright green.

Bought mine at Mimosa years ago. Really nice tasting fruit, much better than strawberry or lemon guavas,  good sweey/sour mix. I've tried to propagate from seeds and cuttings with no luck so far. Going to try airlayering next.

Beautiful fruits!
