I'll make an effort to pollinate some fruit next year if you lack Cherimoya seed often but they wont ripen until September or October in Vic which might put your propagation out of sync

Does that mean you do not have fruit ripening this year?

I have a few Kert but I don't get many fruit unless I hand pollinate, there's not enough humidity here until the very end of the flowering cycle. Cherimoyas stop growing here in between the end of March and the middle of April but it's only then that the last flowers will self pollinate. I need to pollinate them in early December to get the fruit to ripen in Sep/Oct

Something similar happens here. Last year I had only a few cherimoyas and this was because in the past I did not need to hand pollinate. Whatever was doing the job for me appears to have taken the year off.

I have the same thing Jason....although I usually get about half dozen naturally (african pride) - but this season I had so many flowers it was amazing!? (late Nov to just recently) They were like a carpet under the tree when they fell...? They smell so lovely.

My tree is pretty crappy in that it leans badly due to the wind - so I don't really bother with it, to be honest...but the fruit is so much better than what's in the shop....

Have what mixed up :), Atemoya is pretty close to a Cherimoya but it's a hybrid with a sugar apple which is tropical. Combine both of them and you get a sub tropical fruit :D. Cherimoyas are in most people opinion a much better fruit but it's not going to grow in the tropics or very hot areas, I was just wondering if you can grow them where you are

Has anyone ever moved a, I guess 4 to 6 yo cherimoya tree? Atemoyas dont like being moved, I know, Ive tried it. Im thinking the Cherimoyas might have the same resistance to being moved.
I chanced upon the unknown variety cherimoya in a backyard recently and the owners want it gone. My best chance of success would be during the brief time it sheds its leaves Im assuming.

I've moved one about 3 years old, my fino and it moved really well. I did it in Spring time during leaf drop. You can grow Cherimoyas from tissue cultures so they must be able to regenerate roots OK. It might take a couple years to recover but anythings worth a try, maybe graft a bit of it to be double sure?

Thats good news Jason. I have nothing to loose.
Ive read you can propagate them from cuttings. I grabbed half a doz while I was there. Theyre in my polyhouse in a temp controlled bed with a plastic cover. We ll see what happens.
sorry about the lack of puntuation, the keyboard only half works.

Hey Jason - you can grow pretty much anything here (except the extremes of cold lovers and the strict tropicals) - you just have to put in a lot of effort and water....afternoon shade and shelter from high winds too. It's not worth it for some fruits...
The "average" temp ranges are good for many things and the drainage is a big bonus also.
My Atemoyas do well - but I have kind of given up on everything here of late...the garden leaves me no time for fishing, relaxing and family!? I even have my first skin cancer to show for my efforts! bummer.

It will be really intersting John Mc - to see if you can move the tree.... my atemoyas don't seem to have a good root system at all..?

Hey Amanda, slightly off topic but:

I wont speculate on skin cancers, but google Radon Weed. Be careful, dont let it touch sensitive skin it really burns. It (the white milky sap) has burnt off some spots on the back of my hands. Its the most prolific weed in the garden. The medical people are trying to bottle it.

Amanda, petty spurge ( euphorbia peplus) is another one & it grows well here. I had the remains of a cancer on the side of my nose that the GP preferred leaving to the surgeon to deal with ( it was close to my eye) One dab of the spurge & replacement of my sunglasses onto the area one certain
Xmas eve ensured that I had a swollen black eye over Xmas & almost New Year.
however I havent been troubled with the cancer since & that was 8 years ago! A tiny black spot remained for a couple of years then disappeared.

No, but snottie has a handle on it. Its common name is actually Radium weed or petty spurge (euphorbia peplus),like snottie said.
Be careful, it burns.
I googled these pics, theyre not the best, if you want a better pic, Ill go out and take one for you.

John`s photo is the one Amanda! The one that you show is Milk thistle.( chooks, budgies love it) Important thing is only apply the radium sap to the diseased area, not healthy skin like my sunnies did! It works on warts too.

Cool - will keep my eye out for it guys. Milk thistle is also quite nice to eat in a salad or such...especially when it's young and tender :)
