Cherimoya - White (Grafted) 8/10 Andrew's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5208 days 4hrs Comments: - I have found that the Cherimoya requires moist soil but not over water logged conditions.Also i try and maintain a steady pH between 6.0-7.0 and generally use a manutec product for fertilising then alternate to blood and bone and also fish emulsion to prevent toxic build-up of metals in the soil. Maintenance........just steady pruining to clean up dead or damaged branches and the flowers are VERY succeptable to wind damage not to mention leaves and branches .In general a very hardy and well balanced plant though height has to be kept in check that way it doesnt grow out of control and also have to take into account branch angles for when fruits form-the fruit can weight alot and snap branches with ease!!
