Any updates on how these beauties are doing? Is anyone besides Wayne selling these? I tried emailing him at the email on the first page but it got bounced back.

For anyone interested, that email is good, and he says he hopes to have some ready late spring/early summer.

yo!

if you go see Wayne, ask about that Island Gold (Red's Dumpster) Carambola!!

and also...he has a "Peruvian Red" sugar apple he has selected...(I think that's what he calls it)...he says its a winner!  I believe him!  He gave me one to trial...I'll let you know how it compares to the big red, and kampong mauve.

My Dream atemoya seems to not be showing much vigor.  Do you suppose it doesn't like being this far south?

yikes!

maybe planting location?

I can't imagine it being sensitive to heat...

it's a tank!  has handled heat and drought better than most fruit trees I can think of!

How long has it been planted?   What is your soil like?   What fertilizers have you used?

My soil is sandy as I'm less than a mile from the beach.  (In my neighborhood there are several slash pines with huge trunks, remnants of the original tree cover.)  I use composted manure (from Home Depot) to enrich the soil for this tree.  I fertilize with regular fruit tree formula, such as what Excalibur sells.  The tree has been in the ground almost 2 years.  Do you any suggestions, Har?

My Dream is still quite small, but it was planted in November/December and has flushed out like crazy in the last 2-3 months.  It seems very happy in my yard, so I strongly doubt it has to do with latitude.  I also have sandy soil, though you are much closer to the coast than I am.

I have never been a fan of products like these from the box stores.

Do you know what rootstock it was grafted on to?

I know you're asking John, but mine was grafted (by Wayne) onto itself.  But, I recall him saying he had some trees on different rootstocks like cherimoya and pond apple.

I don't know about the rootstock, Rob--whatever Wayne was using when he created this batch of trees two years ago.

After finishing other details of planting, adding an inch-deep (or less) layer of compost over the native sand, to privide an instant topsoil, is fine;  however, if compost is put into the planting hole, it can interfere with drainage, and increase chance of root-rot.

Sorry I'm not answering for Har, but I doubt Wayne would use a rootstock that is not good for growing in FL.

I have seen plants on the same rootstock react differently when grown in different locations.   Not saying this is the cause but i would think it could have something to do with it

try Flying Fox
If I sell any this year it will most likely be prehealed plants only..i'd say chances of a take are about 80%...I will price them pretty cheap...like $15 per plant...just to try to spread them around, and supply some people

but honestly, I'm dedicating most of my energy to propagating other species for 2016...the Annonas are unfortunately on the backburner this year.

put me on that list whenever you get around to it, adam. This plant sounds promising for my area here, would love to get my hands on it.

Any other online sources for the plant?

are they tough to graft? and what would be a good rootstock for it that's fairly cold hardy?
