Congrats. I have been tempted to buy some Annona conica seeds, since a couple of people have been offering them for sale recently. But, I have never had any luck germinating rare Annona seeds. Good to see others are having luck with them. Those are some neat looking fruits.
I have two plants from seeds given by Oscar, and a few days back I found three fruits have set on one of the plants. The other plant has lots and lots of flowers, but no fruit set.
Supposedly this species is highly variable and the fruit less flavourful than some better known Annonas. It would be good to get a first hand appraisal.

Marco from e-jardim told me they were quite good, not bland at all, and he got his seed start from Jim West, so i'm eager to hear what Chandromohan thinks of their taste?I'm going to have to try hand pollination because my trees flower like crazy but don't set any fruit....so far.
i believe, oscar, i said something like, "rather bland, kinda like a rollina." rollinias arent so bad!Quote from: fruitlovers on November 05, 2021, 01:00:11 AMQuote from: Mike T on October 17, 2021, 07:29:35 AMSupposedly this species is highly variable and the fruit less flavourful than some better known Annonas.

This morning I found two of the fruits on the ground! The work of macaques, who had taken a bite from the fruits and not finding them sweet, had discarded them. One was slightly soft, but full of seeds, with hardly anything to eat! I have now covered the plant with a net, and hopefully will get to taste the remaining fruit!
I’m looking to buy seeds if anybody can ship to California?
Hi Oscar! Do you still have seeds? Id love to try and grow some of these as well.
