Potted atemoya production
« on: June 04, 2020, 05:57:27 PM »
Hello,
   As I plan my atemoya grove, have wondered what type of fruit production I can expect from the common varieties (geffner, lisa, AP, PPC) when potted and fully branched out.  For purpose of discussion, lets say a 25 gallon mature tree.  Production might vary from cultivar to cultivar, but what is general ballpark for # of fruit, and what has been experience.  Potted only

There was a forum member North of you that had a bunch of
sugar apples in 7 gallons and was getting 3-6 fruit per tree.
He had like 20 trees
I have dream, Lisa, Tim, and Geffner producing fruit this year.
The Geffner is the first year it is fruiting and is the youngest tree.
I count 20 fruit already and still setting. I have never tried the fruit
I can't wait. My dream has not been a heavy producer but steady and
my Lisa which has been my favorite fruit the past two years and is a heavy
producer. It was blown over by Irma and doesn't have the best shape.
I also have Tim which is having a terrible year after having a great year
last year. My trees are in the ground and I don't hand pollinate.
If you hand pollinate you should get more fruit. This has been a great year
as we warmed up allot in April this year and the trees got going. I have
sugar apples with fruit half grown and still setting fruit.
