Question for the experts in the room
« on: May 30, 2020, 01:29:36 PM »
I did several atemoya grafts this year with some degree of success.  Some of the grafts sent flowers and vegetative growth and couple of the flowers set fruit.  The root stock is a 3 or 4 year old plant in a pot.  Should I let these new grafts hold the fruit or should I remove the fruits.  So far the ones that have done this have only 1 fruit on the branch and they have had two vegetative 2 flushes.
Would you let a spring raft hold fruit in the same year under any condition?

I have one Lisa that went crazy.  It has had 4 cycles (note I didn't say flushes ) because the growth is from different buds on the scion at different times.  With each push, it sent flowers and it set fruit on each so now it has 3 fruits growing on a spring 2020 graft.  I expect I will pinch off 1 or 2 of these if it does not do it itself.
