| Check it in April and see if sheds all of its leaves. |

| A pawpaw maybe? Since they can thrive in colder climate and they are native to the eastern United states and they are related to cherimoyas. |

| The consensus is,its Cherimoya. At a size we don't see here in the bay area. Threw me. |

Would you mind divulging where exactly this is growing? I am a huge nerd and like to map where interesting plants are in the area. Plus maybe I can get the owner to give me a cutting!
There are a few pawpaws in the area that I know of, one in the Berkeley botanical gardens.
I have a few potted cherimoyas in my appt, but it would be nice to see a big one.
Thanks,

| How about if I tell you in Hayward,on Calaroga going south? I'm not sure of the exact street corner. Its 2-3 blocks off of Tennyson and Calaroga. That should be on Google. |

| Thanks, found it. NE corner of Calaroga and Miami. The tree is at least 2-3 times taller in your photo! |

| Yeah,its been a good run of 10a winters for the city since 1998. |

| Ever since I tasted my first cherimoya a few years back, I've dreamt of growing one in my tiny East Oakland garden. Am I delusional? |

| I'm very sure it's a cherimoya from the photo. I have more than 10 trees in my yard. They can take cold winter. The leaves burned but no damaged to branches or trunk. I don't see why it should not grow in SF. Brian |

| Oakland is near perfect for Cherimoya. They are highland tropical plants..about what Oakland is at sea level 3,000 miles north! |

Lisascenic,
Cherimoya will thrive where you are. You can buy a grafted tree or grow seedlings and graft som budwood once they harden off. I started my fruit hobby after tasting cherimoya for the first time. I loved the taste & the it's very expensive to buy, so why not grow my own? I now have 5 grafted trees at home. |

| I suggest to grow cherimoya from seeds for a strong root system. graft such as air-layer .will not grow to be a handsome tree |
