Just looking to buy one! I would be interested!

damn. right after buying two on ebay.

...and the good lord said: you shall overpay for your cherimoyas, and lo, I did.

Hello Coco,
LMAO...yikes! I saw those prices but was able to pick up two for less than $80.00 and they are both nice trees. One of them is actually a double grafted tree.

Fredsbog,
How long did it take from the time you germinated the seed for it get 3 feet tall? I took 7 seeds I took from a fruit purchased at a local store.... I soaked them for 48 hours then put them in soil. I decided to put each seed in it's own individual cup and when I did I found every single seed has a tap root emerging. I am looking forward to you sharing your experience with your how long your seedling took to progress along the way to how tall it is now so I can know what to expect!!! Thanks.

marinfla, in SoCal, it takes about a year for seedlings to grow to around 3 feet tall, at least with what I have experienced for myself.

I have a sedling that I started last year that is now a little over a foot tall. I know it would have grown larger but I need to move it up a pot size first. They do grow very fast.

I sowed seed in mid summer and the seedlings stayed pretty small through the first winter. In their second year they shot up to 3 feet, and now at the end of that year they look like they might be starting to branch.

In Socal cherimoyas grow like weed. You can get a grafted tree 4-5' tall for $20 in San Diego. Atemoya are less hardy but about the same price for a seedling - grafted go for about $30-35. Sugar Apples are a different story, although they thrive and fruit in our climate the fruit tends to fossilize by the time they mature because of the cold nights. You have to cover them with newspaper to protect them from the cold nights.

Hey Joe, where can I find these $20 atemoyas?

Tim

Tim,

They were $20 at Atkins Nursery last March. I bought my grafted African Pride at California tropical fruit trees in Vista, for $35. They have grafted Atemoya for $35 in GreenMart and Minosa Nursery in East LA.

Does Mimosa have named varieties of Cherimoyas also?

YES,

Mimosa Nursery Does have Named Varieties of Cherimoyas. I was there about 2 Months ago and they had them.

I would love to have the Cherimoya tree willing to pay for shipping but i am new do not know how to contact the grower. I live in zone 9 B and tree could live out door all year long.

This thread is over 6 years old....pretty sure its long gone
