Paw Paw (Asimina Triloba) grafted onto Cherimoya

[FV Fruit Freak]

I grafted some Paw Paw scions onto my Cherimoya tree this year and initially had some success with about 6 out of 7 taking and starting to push. Since the initial push only one or two are still doing good, the other ones have either died or are starting to shrivel up. Does anyone have any long term success grafting Paw Paw onto Cherimoya? Here’s a picture taken today of the best one still doing good

Cherimoya tend to have residual energy that would push from scion initially. Compatibility may be an issue, although I have not personally experimented it. Keen to find out more about it.

I tried this with minimal success, and grafting the other way with cherimoya onto paw paw. Nothing worked long term. I hope you break that curse!

Tried this many years ago going both ways.  Lived a short while and died.  However, I plan to try black sapote grafted on a persimmon this year.  It has been done before as I saw the lush green branch on a semi dormant persimmon on a fellow CRFGs tree.  Anyone else?
