Custard Apple - African Pride (Grafted) 8/10 Amanda19's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3011 days 4hrs Comments: - I have two atemoyas - an african pride and hilary white. They have been recalcitrant plants to get established! I don't think the wind has helped though. I am waiting for the tap root to establish more strongly. They also suffer burnt leaf magins. The A.pride has decided to flower this week...(it's July). I had 4 fruit off the A.pride this season and they were lovely. It was too soon to let it fruit - but I was greedy! They pollinated on their own. My pruning job not too good on these guys. Floweredall winter long (2009) and set no fruit by spring when flowers finished. Nov 2010: Flowering madly. I put an extra microsprayer on it and the extra water has really helped it along.
