Cherimoya - Forbidden Fruit variety (Grafted)

Comments: -

Cherimoya has to be one of the most delicious fruits I've eaten. It is slightly warmer where I live than its' preferred range (by a couple of degrees), but I'm still hopefull of some fruit.  This variety is a bonus as it self-pollinates.

Planted early May - will need some shelter from cold winter winds.

Honey Heart Cherimoya

Comments: - Honey Heart are the earliest of the Cherimoyas to ripen, as early as December. Honey Heart fruit are very sweet and considered to be the juiciest. It has large sized fruit and is best for making drinks.

I love Custard Apple and hope that this will be just as nice. It had several flowers last year, but no male and female at the same time; I could not hand pollinate. Hopefully, the right combination will happen this year.

I adore the fruits of most anonaceae family members. The taste is out of this world.
Reportedly a good performer in S.A. Should be right in similar conditions too.

Comments: -

This was a rather tall plant without any branches when purchased but I cut it right back to get some low branches. Got some flowers in spring, not going to hand pollinate though, just let it grow larger this year, growth has been steady so far, tree shape is now good with lots of branches and the main trunk has thickened substantially.

Cherimoya - Seedling (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: -

Fruit of the gods. This must be the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden because human were forbidden to eat it. It is so delectable that the gods wanted to keep it for themselves. Not anymore fellow mortals. Cultivate it if you can to enjoy this sinfully delicious fruit.

Its odd, my cheri seedling is the less vigorous grower among my cherimoyas considering they are all in the same microclimate, potting mix, fertilizer, amount of water given and pot size. May be it will catch up next season. Or may be its a dud, whatever i will give it one or two more seasons before deciding on its fate.
