Far fewer mangos than last year.  No lychees.  Avocados are looking good.

Got some lychee, not a whole lot but some.
Unfortunately, the birds have found them, squirrels too. 

Poor season here too, the only standout in my yard is the Choc anon.

I see Raul logged in today around 6pm, did he message anyone back?  I still haven't heard back, just wondering.

Use email, he replies to all my emails.

I am sure there is something you can apply that will get rid of the pest.
Ranging from diatomaceous earth to some nasty stuff.
Google "treating pest in potted plant" or something like that and I am sure you will find all kinds of remedies.  Hydrogen peroxide, insecticidal soap and diatomaceous earth will come up in a number of the solutions.
There may be some other household items that can work as well.
   

Choc anon, Beverly, and one of mine, so far unnamed.
There may be one or two others (possibly Fairchild,) but I will have to walk the yard to check.

When and how did you collect pollen?

I was out in the yard and saw four petals on an atemoyas.

Here is some fun reading if you plan on grafting.  https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=16673.msg211489#msg211489

Now regarding your question, you can grow annona from seed.  It may not be true from seed,  You can graft named varieties onto your seedling (best in spring) and know what you are getting for sure. 

I have grown both in a pot and in the ground.  Both work.  I don't know about nematode vulnerability but perhaps Har or someone else on the forum who grows in FL may be able to help with that part of your question.

Scions arrived in perfect condition. Thanks again Orkine! 🍻

You are very welcome.

Got mine  too, thank you again for keeping me updated on the package

No worries.
Good luck with the grafts.

As the mango story turns.

So I am on track for a poor mango season, good flush poor fruit set.  I will have a ton of Choc Anon which is a monster for fruiting in my yard but little of anything else.

So I did a grafting demo the other day and offered the left over scions.  Got more interest and went to cut some prepped scions I had not taken for the demo and low and behold, few blooms on 3 trees.  Including the  Choc Anon which already has 3 generations of fruit this year.  Other trees are flushing vegetative growth which is the norm for this time of the year for me.

Strange indeed.  Anyone in South Florida still getting bloom?

Thanks, done.
They are separated, now I wait and see if I just wiped out my cache or if I have multiple to select from .
