I should have bought scions.

Trees with trash underneath have ants and soft scales.
Remove the trash then add pavers.

Leaf burns like Chaffey cherimoya.

Good luck.

The expensive one here now is Thai Ruby seedless.
A friend paid $350 for a foot tall tree.
Taiwan version has seeds so half price.

Grow a few.
Cull later.

If you could add a pot after roots formed, and water often, your AL should be robust after cut.

I added a pot to this lychee after 10 weeks of AL.
This AL flushed after 10 days in pot.

It’s flushing again after 6 weeks in pot.
I’m seeing fat root tips at bottom of pot.
I’m planning to cut after 2nd flush harden.
I’m expecting AL to handle full sun after a week in shade.

My 1st lychee AL is still weak after a year, from cut and hide method.

I cut off flower bulb once male flowers open.
No point in letting the tree wastes energy on the male flowers.

Is it small enough to try using some type of insect barrier netting next year to test for the effect of cross pollination?

Good idea

Next step is to collect maggots to throw inside tent to help with pollination.

Your fruit has plumb skin like a sugar apple.
It’s an atemoya.

AP is also an atemoya.
Its skin is flat like picture below.




Your fruit is not an AP.

The trunk is only 1”.
Those with flowers are sharpie size.

I’m using 15G pots.
I’m filling them 2/3.
No need to fill to top.

15G pot is tall so less bending to move them around.
