What kind of soil that Cherimoya wants. I transferred it to a pure CHC and it did not grow as I expected.

Tammy, where did you find the cherimoyas?

That's OK. I found what I want to know.

the gentel mans name is George i Ordered a 10 lb Box actually 2 5 lb boxes one for me and one for my cousin in portland ..he was so honest he just charged me for a 10 lb box instead of the 73.00 i paid 52.00 and that includes shipping i inquired about where to buy plants and he gave me his neighbors phone number to a atkins Nursery.. IM me i will give the number But i will not post it on the message boards as he has asked me not too .. they dont have a web site but they do have email.

this man sells Orchard stock trees ..

you can get ahold of George who sells fruit at GroveStand.net who can also sell trees ..
Right now im working on getting more info about shipping.. Tammy

Tammy, what is a "liner"? I asked once before but no one explained. Thanks.
Benny, I don't think CHC would be good for cherimoya..just my opinion.

wow to describe a liner ..

OK here is my best shot patty

the long pots 4 inches round or Square and about 12-18 long and about 2 inches round or square on the bottom .. they use these to get a good rooting system .. the plants are 12-16 tallsome he said are 24 inches tall and desperatly need repotting ...

Stan , joe ,laaz,or Millet would probably be better at describing it then i would ..Tammy

PS just got offered a Job workig with a botonist and Nursery this also includes Travel .. might just take it tired of sitting behind desks or catching pnemonia while flagging in summers..

Patty:
Yes, I agree. I am finding it out the hard way.

Thanks Tammy, I think it's like my tall tree pots which are 4x4 " & 14 inches high -- good for rooting. THAT'S a LINER?
OK, what is "flagging in summer" LOL
Benny, CHC might be good for some plants but real bad for others... as I'm learning too. How's it doing on your newly repotted citrus?

OK flagging My summer job sometimes lasts right up to Tax season where i help with taxes for the elderly..

Flagging For road construction .. im the one holding the stop sign or out running a pissed off driver who drank too much .. since i seem to be the only women allowed on night crew i get alot of exercise running ..

Last yr i actually got so mad I yelled stop or ill shoot ..

the guy stopped LOL and Backed up and then when he got out of his car and asked if i had a gun i said no but explained there where 25 guys in the road went to hit me his daughter in labor and he was very drunk took a swing I maced him ...

Makes life fun .. Here have some Norton wine .. family winery in Mo

OK, folks, so what IS the preferred growing media for cherimoya? I have read that they don't do well in containers...true?

Stress baby that is a very Good Question ...

i have the 2 yr olds in 5 g pots there only 12 and 18 inches tall ..

the smaller ones i started from seeds are in a 3 g pot all of them i have to divide them soon .. i just wanted to see how they would grow here .. im into all kinds of experments some work some dont ...

Ill try and find the answer on the net .. According to Pearl the lady i talked to yesterday.. who is working for Atkins farms they have the 15 g pots and 30 G pots as well with plants growing fruits .. ill do my best to find and answer in the mean time maybe someone here will know ..Tammy

try something slightly acidic (pH 5.5-<7), and well draining, and deep pot for roots to grow...it appears the roots do not like any standing water, such as the type you get at the bottom of containers....

get them into well draining soil in the ground ASAP.

They don't do well in pots? utoh.. mine is a seedling given in trade.. I have it in same soil mix my citrus are in. it seems very happy for now..
hmmm.. I'll update my photos some time this week..

EZ is right. Get them in tall tree pots if you can ...they have long tap roots & like to go deep. Well drained soil.
Anything can grow in pots, don't forget...you buy them in pots don't you?
Here is a site to order tall tree pots for the best price anywhere

Millet gave this site & I ordered twice from them...many pots --all diff sizes. They are great and great ppl to deal with.
Tammy, I think they are near you ? Oregon/Wa area
