Years and years. I have seen grafted trees at Home Depot that will fruit in 2 years.

Plant the seeds for fun, but buy a grafted tree for fruit.

(Read up on your having to hand pollinate them to get the best fruit result.)

sugar apples (anon) come good from seed but like said before its just not worth the wait when you can buy a nursery tree for $40 and have fruit in two or three years and a beautiful tree in five.

recently i tried Custard Apple. it was the first Anon fruit i had tried and unlike anything ive ever tasted before. i have room for one more good sized tree but im am torn between Custard Apple, Sugar Apple or Atemoya (cherimoyas usually like more elevation) i already have a soursop tree, havent tried the fruit yet.

im waiting to try some different varieties and find something i love

heres my custard apple

Cagary, did you say Home Depot has cherimoyas!? What city? O___O

I've seen them at both Lake Forest and Mission Viejo, but you could probably order one at the HD near your home.

The trees are marked "Cherimoya Graft" and don't say exactly which cultivar they are, but it great to know that at least they are grafted and should produce good fruit.

Ok thanks. About having it special ordered, I always think about it, but the employees there often seem less than enthusiastic about what they do and I am afraid my request might go unanswered. This might be a stupid question, but would you know who is the head person in charge called? A nursery manager? (So I can ask the cashiers specifically for that person.)

So is any one out there willing to trade me some chirimoya seeds? I will pay postage or trade for flowers or cuttings. I would love to have a chirimoya tree, I just have not been lucky enough to find any in central texas. Please let someone be out there willing to trade or sase with me. PLEASE.
