Tropical Fruit Discussion / choose between several varieties of cherimoya
« on: September 14, 2021, 07:22:38 AM »
hello everybody,

I need help to choose between several varieties of cherimoyas : in my greenhouse, I will have place for only 3 cherimoyas, also I have no right to make mistakes. if my weather was warmer, I will grow outside 30 or 40 cherimoyas and choosing varieties wouldn't be a big problem.
I heard that pierce was a great variety, so I will grow 1 pierce, and now for the last 2 places I think about honeyheart, big sister, orton, el bumpo.
I don't ask you about taste because it's very subjective, I would like to ask about 2 things :

can you tell me the varieties between honeyheart, big sister, orton, el bumpo (or other varieties that you know) which have less seeds and which are the most productive (as I have not a lot of place so I can not afford to choose variety with low productivity).

thank you very much.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / californian cherimoya
« on: August 31, 2021, 10:06:11 AM »
hello,

I am french, so excuse for my english which is not very good, but school years are now very far from me. I would like to talk with people who grow cherimoya in california, because I think some californian weathers are close to my weather :

I live in south-east of france (near marseille), with a mediteranean weather (2800 years of sun per year), but far from sea (30 km), so in summer some days I have 104°F/40°C the hotest days, and in winter some years I can have 17°F/-8°C during the night of the coldest days. actually I grow citrus in a frost-free glass greenhouse (33°F/1°C minimum in winter the night of the coldest days). I have a misting device in greenhouse so 104°F/40°C is maximum. so if there are people on this forum who have mediteranean weather in california close to mine greenhouse climate (104°F/40°C maximum in summer and minimum 33°F/1°C in winter) I have several questions :

-do you think in my greenhouse cherimoya can grow good fruits in winter ?

-with 33°F/1°C, will the fruits be damaged or not (I don't know in california, but in spain cherimoya fruits come from october to march, so mainly during winter) ?

-what spacing do you use between cherimoya ? 7 meters or more ?

-I know only the spanich fino de jete which is to me a very good fruit, but do you have in california varieties with a better tast than fino de jete (I heard about "el bumpo") ?

-do you have in california varieties with less seeds than fino de jete ?

-these californian varietes can tolerate 104°F/40°C in summer ?

-fino de jete has fruits on tree during 6/7 months, from october to march/april, which would be for me the best period to eat cherimoya. is it the same with californian varieties, do you have fruits on trees from october to march/april ?


thank you very much for yous answers.
