Sugarapple Question
« on: August 02, 2024, 11:04:46 PM »
Hi. I've been growing standard squamosa for a few years now. I love the fruit however I was wondering if there were any varieties that we big.

I remember a few years ago member JF offered a Yucatan Giant variety. Anyone ever fruited this variety or anything similar in size?

I'm growing the giant Yucatan but haven't fruited it yet.

the Phet Pak Chong is technically an atemoya at 75% sugar apple and 25% cherimoya. it resembles a large low seed chewy sugar apple. it was bred in Thailand for a commercial sugar apple alternative and fits the niche pretty well. if you are growing sugar apple in California you might want to try the PPC atemoya
