Alright Patty ,and All
remember that Jerk who was so mad at me about not telling how to grow Citrus ?

he thought taking one of my plants My Navel Orange in a 50 g was a good Idea .
LOL its chained in .
he has a bad back now .

I have my cat mentor hopefully coming to join the list to learn about Cherimoya's .
I'm hyped .
Ive been trying to get George from the Grove stand who offered me some 5 yr old trees .

to do an artical about growing and pollination of the cherimoya .
do we have anything like that here ?
Tammy

Hey Stress...I have several going in containers right now. My largest seedling has a trunk about an inch in diameter. I grafted two great varieties to it last year. I've not used anything special or unique for the soil mix...just whatever I had on hand. They are tolerant of a wide range of soil types and PH...just as long as it drains well. Much better looking plant than my sugar apples.

Patty,
The term "liner" is quite nebulous in its definition. But in general, it means the smallest size of a plant being grown by the particular nursery growing it, but always smaller than a 1-gallon pot. If they are quite small (say under a cup in volume) they may also be called "Plugs," which are normally attached, many in a tray. Or they may be in the deeper forestry -style pots. But there really is no hard and fast rule beyond that, on calling something a liner.

Ohiojay, did you grow them from seed? How tall and old are they now? Did they fruit?

On a similar note I've been looking for sugar apple and soursop fruits to grow from seed.

HT...grew them all from seed a few years back. A fellow enthusiast from a California group sent me several scions that I grafted to my largest plant and several smaller ones. My largest plant is currently about 4' tall. It has been pruned back several times. No fruit yet. I believe the varieties are Saba and Pierce. There were two others but the all the remaining grafts failed.

I'm sure there are some online sources for sugar apple seeds...or...find a Florida member who could send you some. My only beef with this fruit is that it seems to have more seeds than even cherimoyas. There is supposedly a seedless variety which I'm trying to graft now...3 out of 4 have already failed with the 4th in question.

Soursop??? Have you tasted soursop? I have and I will sum up my own personal experience/opinion of this fruit with a comment made from a buddy who tried it at the same time in Florida a few years ago. He said: "tastes like sour feet and vomit". Again...just our opinion!!
