I appreciate the information on proper naming convention and now I know that a Tikal reticulata X cherimoya cross is not the same as a cherimoya X Tikal reticulata cross. I had previously not realized it mattered so much in what order the parents were named (I believe I read it first on a post from Frank recently).
That said, are we making a fuss about the proper convention in describing the parents?
If the flower pollinated is Cherimoya and the pollen donor is Reticulata (as Shot describes it in one of the shared links), that is a Cherilata, correct?
I hope to fruit the FL cherilata and perhaps get a scion or two of Franks and make my call on which I prefere.
Are you guys the spokesman for John? Shot( John Painter) words are engraved in the thread below if he wants to correct or clarify what he said in 2 separate replies let him speak for himself. With respect to the best annona you ever had, thats yr opinion which I put very little credence since you guys provide no references to which anonas you are comparing it to. I will judge for myself when I fruit it and compare it to my 50 varieties of anonas.
Frank, John has stated here on this board, as Oolie just posted and dwfl have said, exactly what this hybrid is so not sure why you keep denying it.
I'm not twisting your arm behind your back trying to make you admit it is the best annona ever Frank, just stating my opinion as is dwfl, which happen to be just as valid as yours whether we have tried 5,000 annonas or just that one. Why so condescending man?
Me denying what? Did you read my post? I’m referring to what John painter said or did you miss that? Let me cut & paste it or you :
Reply # 4 from John PainterTikal reticulata X cherimoya cross ,red firm flesh,raspberry overtone flavor.Best quality fruit is in Winter and Spring in Florida.
Reply#9 from John PainterI did that cross back in 2003 almost lost all do to 2004 hurricane charley 150mph+.It is Tikal reticulata X cherimoya cross.I have done atemoya and reticulata cross also so far not as good.
I saw olive’s post from John conversation with Har i got it. I just wanted clarification from him since he contradicted himself. John’s hybrid appears to be a red reticulata but the leaves are almost identical to my cherilata. You have every right to yr opinion and I said that but after many year of tasting and growing dozens of anonas I’ve develop a more sophisticated palate then most ..... if you wanna get all worked up and call that condescending so be it, yr entitled to yr opinion.
Frank, no hard feelings just know what he has told me in person is all... Still interested in seeing all the hybrids you have coming and your thoughts on the taste of each fruit.
