The Tropical Fruit Forum

I have Voodoo Child, Giant Vietnamese, Physical Graffiti, American Beauty.  The Giant Vietnamese (white flesh) formed 2 fruits last season.

My Yellow, Purple Haze, Thai Red & Phoenix Red are on the small side.

These are all supposed to be self-pollinating/self-fertile.

To me, Gefner is more like a cherimoya than is AP.  The flesh is drier and firmer.  The flavor is hard to describe in terms of difference.  I only know I can tell the difference when I taste the two. Its just difficult to verbalize.  I have the same trouble describing some of the different cherimoya flavors.

I made my first grafting attempt w/ Geffner scionwood onto a cherimoya seedling last week.  I've heard annonas have high percentages of takes, but I won't know for awhile.  Good to hear Geffner atemoya is a good cultivar.

Cool pics, Nullzy!

The allspice sure has grown since last I saw it. 

I obtained cuttings of Phoenix Red dragonfruit from a friend.  Does anyone have info on this cultivar.  It's already pushing new growth. 

Besides Phoenix Red, I have-

Voodoo Child
Purple Haze
Physical Graffiti
Giant Vietnamese
Yellow
Thai Red
American Beauty

The Giant Vietnamese was the only one that has fruited so far.  It bore 2 fruits last year.  It's white flesh but the taste was very nice.  Subtley sweet.

Montoso Gardens has achachairu seedlings for sale.  I thought about buying one since I've heard it does well in SoCal

I have some sugar apple seeds, too.

Fwang Tung!!!

I love these, like a sweet green apple!

I have never tasted a Fwang Tung that tasted anything remotely like a green apple, sweet or tart...my very least favorite out of all I have tasted.

Different stroke for different folks!

Do you listen to Walyon Jennings (i can't help but like him)?  Seems like we have much different tastes, and you are quick to point out this phenomenon...which i think is important, because peoples enjoyment factor of any given fruit, is very subjective...same with the music of N.W. A. , and Boy George.

So opinions are like sphincters everyone has quite a few (even more than just one, pyloric, pupillary, ileocecal, etc...)

LOL

Wow, from NWA to Boy George & Culture Club.  That's quite a broad spectrum there. 

Nice pics!

Is your Dr. White cherimoya naturally-pollinated or hand-pollinated

I'm figuring fertilizing your cherimoya tree during dormancy won't be a problem because of how brief the dormancy is.
