nwk starts with ... I bought 2 cherimoyas (a Sofia and a White) from Daleys Oct 2012, kept them in pots for the first year, and put them into the ground Apr 2014. The Sofia is doing well, but the White seems have "died" but there are now shoots coming off around the graft line, presumably from the rootstock, The label which comes with it says RST C87 - presumably this refers to the rootstock. - will this rootstock give reasonable fruit? - as I also have the Sofia, is it OK to try grafting a scion from the Sofia on to this new shoot, and when is it best to do so? Thank you very much. | About the Author nwk Kew, VIC 7th December 2014 8:39am #UserID: 10953 Posts: 2 View All nwk's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... I had a Fino de Jete Cherimoya I got from Bulleen sitting in a bag over Winter. As soon as I planted it in the ground 2 months ago all the leaves dropped off. Now they have all grown back, bigger and bushier than ever. More recently I acquired some Kampong mauve Custard Apples which have a peelable skin. So far they have not really recovered from the transplant shock so I'm hoping that the leaves will come back and surge the same as the Fino. | About the Author Linton Springvale, Vic 12th December 2014 8:16pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Ok, thanks. I don't know much about them and didn't know they are deciduous. The names are also confusing and the seller of the Kampong mauve has them listed as Custard Apple on their website. Going by the description, the Kampong seems to be a cross between sugar apple and custard apple, right? Anyway, I don't have high hopes that it can survive down here but will just have to wait and see. Cheers!

The poster formerly known as... says... It's a sugar apple. Very little else in it looking at the fruit and the leaves. They mention it has a hint of cherimoya like flesh, but don't seem to say it is a cross, do they? That would technically make it an atemoya, but the cherimoya percentage looks so slight you wouldn't call it an Atemoya. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Keperra 13th December 2014 8:39pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

MIke T1 says... Kampong mauve is the most popular of the red and purple sugar apples in Australia.Custard apples mostly refers to atemoya (Cherimoya x sugar apple) as well as sugar apple itself.Custard apple in many countries refers only to A.reticulata which is bullocks heart here. While we're talking Annonas,A.crassiflora and A.paludosa popped up after a year in old pots of mine that were about to be emptied.Don't be too hasty in discarding seeds is the lesson for me. | About the Author MIke T1 cairns 13th December 2014 10:32pm #UserID: 10744 Posts: 250 View All MIke T1's Edible Fruit Trees |
