- AMERICAN WRITER , MARK TWAIN ONCE SAID THAT THE CHERIMOYA IS “THE MOST DELICIOUS FRUIT KNOWN TO MAN”
🌳 Yet GROWING and FRUITING CHERIMOYA TREES IS QUITE EASY AND QUITE TOLERANT OF EXTREMES OF WEATHER , IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT VARIETY!
“WTF?” (Whats the Fruit ?)🌳
A Cherimoya is Tropical Cloud forest fruit from the Tropics of South America, But as you can see, it can do well, even Inland Northern California !🌳#CherimoyaTree, - Věda a technologie
cherimoya do well in z9b once established. I’ll be doing a follow up video, so dont forget to HIT SUBSCRIBE !
Have a good day!🌳🌴
Im in NorCal 9b, i really want to have a cherimoya, you think i could successfully establish it if i protect it from the winter?
Living the dream, I'm sprouting as many seeds as possible here in France near Paris. Hopefully some of them will make it through winter.
🤞
I have one growing in Danville for 15 years or so and just prune it heavily in April right before it drops all it leaves. Growing great there and get some fruit without hand pollinating.
Great ! I think your humidity is higher than here....
Do you do anything for it during winter? Or it does fine uncovered or outside of a greenhouse?
Really without hand pollination?!
Cool then
I really liked your video my friend, despite the cold weather and variations in California, you have a beautiful Cherimoya tree. Congratulations!!🤗
Thank you very much!
I have never even seen a cherimoya fruit in a store in my state. Our mildest zone is 7. If I ever have a greenhouse I'll grow one because the fruit sounds delicious. Thank you for the pollinating tip!
Worth a try in a greenhouse!
Yumm, Cherimoya are delicous
I agree
I'm growing these in a midwest greenhouse. Biggest challenge for me was low humidity when I brought one in my home. It seems they absolutely can't take it below 40%, tolerate most else.
My humidity in summer is frequently 10 percent and 100f.
They start to suffer when it’s any hotter.
You’re awesome Jeff how are you preforming theses miracles of botany
Believe it or not, that Cherimoya tree is growing in someone else’s yard! I did have a White Cherimoya about 10 years ago, but needed the space for my banana trees!
Super
🌴😎🌴
I have two, 2 yea old saplings that i grey from seeds. I live in North Carolina and have so far have had them in pots and just bring them inside during the winter. I am tempted to plant them but I have put so much time in keeping them alive and healthy that I don’t want risk losing them either.
be careful , they are sensitive when young
Yes I have this tree since 1998 plantings from seeds as a gift now 2021 bigger than that tree two times wider and higher for the last 16 years thousands of flower every years smells really good too but never once have fruit... sad part is people telling me because the tree 🎄 is a male tree not a female tree 🎄 that is why is not fruiting get rid of it but I love the tree all year round green 💚 with big leaves half size of a dishes plates and smells really good... So this year 2021.. I learned hands pollinate it's work with fruits over 200 fruit I lived close to Santa Monica California 6 miles away from the beach.... Now I have problem with animals eating the fruit just a thumbs size not even sweet fruit yet they just eat half and leave the rest .. in the morning I think the squirrels eat some 🐿️ and Bird 🐦 at night some other animals eat it and don't know what it could be mice and opossum I don't want to poison them any advise.... It seems to work I'm wrapping fruit stems with foil 3 layer to be working one to two layers is not working they seem to chew through it... $ 8 per lb here in Santa Monica California
I don’t have pest problems with mine.
But if I did, they make small mesh bags to protect individual fruits. Not terribly expensive.
Try Amazon
I am growing cherimoya seedlings red custard apples and I even have an ap2 atemoya seedling. However these seedlings do not like weather under 50 degrees. They are still very young tho I grew them this past winter
Cherimoya seedling seem to deal with lower temps. I had some do fine out in the open with frost on them…. The others I donno. Happy growing! _ Jeff
@@TropicalGardenGuy Is cherimoya deciduous in areas where winter temperature can drop below 32 occasionally?
@@EnriqueLopez-lf8qmyes Wikipedia says that they will drop their leaves in winter
They’re hiding a dragonfruit plant under there also.
Yea I saw that. Here in Modesto, dragon fruit like a little shade mid summer. They also have a huge Guava tree.... more videos to come!
I’m growing a cherimoya in zone 10b but the leaves are falling off after turning yellowish brown and crispy. It’s in the full sun . Should I add gypsum to make the clay rich soil drain better? Thanks!
It’s hard to say with seeing the tree and it’s growing conditions.
I water mine with a drip and add no fertilizer when it’s hot.
We have a temperature of
Max 40/35 Celsius in summer
And 5/10 some times 0 Celsius were I live
WHT so you think will my chirimoya survive and give fruits?!
Have to mention I love near the sea 500metere away so we have humidity at 60/80% all year around
I see 40c in summer but our low temps are usually 20c.
Cherimoya like cool nights .
Maybe sugar apple might be better where it’s hot?
@@TropicalGardenGuy so it's good no need to worry for my chirimoya?!
I see cherimoya is related to Guanabana (Soursop). Have you ever tried growing them? I’m wondering if they will tolerate Linden, Escalon, Modesto climate.
I havent tried, though I understand they are even more sensitive than Mango, I’d try in my most protected part of my garden, if I had a good sized plant.
They yield a super delicious nectar. Almost indistinguishable from guava. Garcia market in Riverbank sells it.
Wonder if I could grow it in large pot in zone 8b (Seattle).
Probably if you protected it if temps dropped below 25f
my cherimoya has alot of flowers but it just dries up and fall off,any suggestions
It probably needs to be hand pollinated , do a search online, you should find a video on how to do it
Hello! I was gifted a small cherimoya tree a week ago and it’s drying up on me! We are in zone 9b. Any suggestions on how to stop it from dying? Greetings from Escondido, CA.
congratulations, I just bought one, put it into the ground a month ago and it took off!
I would say the most important thing to do is plant in well drained soil, preferably in a raised bed situation.
I’m doing a new video soon. So make sure to hit the notifications bell!
@@TropicalGardenGuy for the raised he situation would you place in full sun for zone 10b and use 100% miracle gro or Kellogg’s raised bed mix or something else? Thanks!
Jeff, have you ever heard of sugar apple trees? They’re similar to cherimoya and we’re looking to find one in person. We live in Modesto. Would it be possible to stop by your garden and see all you’ve done?
Hi Kammy, I have heard of sugar apples. Never found one to grow in my garden... closest thing Ive grown and fruited was cherimoya. It did well in my garden.
In a couple of months, my wife and I were thinking about doing a garden tour at my place. So stay tuned ( subscribe ) to the channel as I will be making an announcement a couple weeks before.
@@TropicalGardenGuy already subscribed! Yes, will stay tuned! Thanks!
Great....in the meantime feel free to ask any questions!
@@ASmallBlue Hi Kammy , I live in Northern California and I’m collecting all kinds of Atemoya as my hobby . From what I know ,If you would like to grow a sugar apple they are grow from seeds but it really depends on the zone u are located at , sugar apple can’t survive in the cool weather . They can dies if the weather too cool , try African Price Atemoya or geffner Atemoya . They’re tasty and better than sugar apple . Hope these information can help you :)
@@Jennyp0812 thank you! we are in modesto.
What kind of fertilizer do you recommend?
I use Espoma evergreen organic fert on most of my tropicals
are they easy to propagate?
They do best grafted
do you sell fruits? I go to Central Valley CA quite often
I’m just a home gardener so No sorry
I'm trying to get my hands on a guanabana fruit tree.
Too tender for my garden
How long to get the fruits 🤔 if you plant the seeds?
I have never grown Cherimoya from seed, But id think at least 8 to 10 years
@@TropicalGardenGuy No, actually the third year they will have flowers. In some warm and humid areas like Taiwan, cherimoya grown from seeds can have flowers in the second year
From what I hear about 2 years
