Saramuyos; cherimoya killer
« on: September 07, 2021, 01:06:56 PM »
Yucatán saramuyos and sugar apples. In October I will have wood and seeds for sale. These are “ the most delicious fruits known to man” quoting mark Twain after he tasted a cherimoya, unfortunately he never tasted a saramoyo….

Saramuyos are sugar apples, right?

These are varieties you brought from Yucatán?

According to a video I saw on youtube, famous annona expert Har explained that Sugar Apples are indeed originally from the East Coast of Mexico.

No, saramuyos are hybrids SA x CA and yes they are endemic to the Yucatán.

No, saramuyos are hybrids SA x CA and yes they are endemic to the Yucatán.

But Har also said this:

Saramuyos are the same as Anon, Sugar-apple, Sweetsop, and many other common names. 

Central-Eastern Mexico and South-Eastern Mexico have a wide variability of Annona squamosa, and are thought to be the native area of origin of the species.  Because the seeds stay viable for months, or even more than one year, this species was among the first few that the early European explorers succeeded in spreading far and wide -- including to Brazil and India, where many now contend that sugar-apple is native.

Har has said a lot of things about Saramuyos but I happen to live in Yucatán and they are hybrids and 10x better than any sugar apple I’ve tasted.



Here are 1.75lb beauties as good as any top top we cherimoyas

Can we tell they are hybrids by DNA, leaf shape, stability of form or precociousness of their seedlings?
I'd like to know more has anyone done systematic research to empirically/factually find out?

Do you have any experience growing the plants from seed?
Will they grow true from seed?

thanks

I had this conversation in a thread with Har a few years ago and we believe they are not true to seed. Since, I’ve fruited grafted and seedling Giant Yucatán in La Habra CA and I couldn’t tell the differences. I have 6-7 varieties ,1.5 year old seedling saramuyos, growing right now in CA and they’ve bloom this year….trees are too small to hold, maybe next year. Another added bonus is they are as cold hardy as cherimoyas and atemoyas in La Habra where sugar apples struggle.  Do a search in the forum on saramuyos and you’ll see the leaves totally different of any sugar apple. Saramuyos are supremely delicious as good as Aussies atemoyas and California cherimoyas. You can also see the leaves on my Instagram.

Mark Twain also never went to SE Asia to try durian , cempedak, marang , mangosteen etc. his views on fruit were rather limited.

Do saramuyos need to be hand pollinated?

What are these graft compatible with.  I looked at previous posts and saw Cherimoya.  Are they compatible with anything else?  Perhaps Glabra? or Cherilata?

I hand pollinate all my annonas, can they set fruits on their own? Yes but to increase yield you want to HP. Saramuyos are compatible to all those annonas you mention,

I have a few seedlings that came from JF that were straight from Yucatan. One of them have a different set of leaves which is the photo below!

Thanks JF for your efforts on introducing these new varities that are limited here.

Oh, this is cool, I'm going to search this forum for more info.  Relatives of mine have a couple unknown cherimoya trees in their yard but fruit production is very low, they are very tall trees and we can't hand pollinate sadly.  We're also in OC. 

I have a couple 2 year old seedlings that I am growing from seeds of one of the trees, maybe I can try to graft a saramuyo onto one!  The one actually has a small brank, maybe I can leave one branch as cherimoya, and other as saramuyo?  Is this possible?  I've seen that other fruit trees can do this, like citrus and loquats.

Alright, I'm confused I thought Sugar Apple X Cherimoya was an Atemoya?  Is this the same thing?  But a different name?

Hi Bill
You are correct SA x Cherimoya = atemoya
Saramuyo = SA x CA plus CA x SA it’s called anona in Yucatán both hybrids
