The flesh did have some good acidity but its not exceptional. White was sweet, smooth, juicy and unlike what I've read, there was good acidity, not exceptional but pretty good. My favorite cherimoya was an unnamed hybrid cultivar that calimoya grows. Calimoya asked me if I wanted to try their special cross and I said sure. It was good size about softball sized or slightly larger, the skin was not bumpy, the flesh was the smoothest silkiest I have ever eaten and the flesh was sweet with perhaps the best acidity I have ever eaten.
I hear that El Bumpo and Honeyheart are both excellent but have not tried these varieties yet. Anyone have any experience with these cultivars? I believe it is El Bumpo on the other part of the plant, not blooming but growing nicely. The Honey Heart I recently grafted is flushing out so I'll have 3 varieties on the one plant.
I've been pollinating the flowers with pollen from my sugar apples The Honey Heart that is flushing is also trying to send out a few blooms as well. I should probably remove them now that the flush has a good start.
I removed them on another graft when the growth just started pushing out. The flush immediately ceased and I lost that graft.
Now the graft may have been lost to start and the flush just a reaction of stored sugars in the scion Too true Will try to load some up this weekend Hello Jay, I was wondering where you find local cherimoyas. Maybe I can get them from a local vendor? So on average, do you find cherimoya more pleasing than a sugar apple? I have been messing around with seedlings and I am thinking that I may try and order some cherimoya from cherimoya. I really didn't want to buy them this year but I would like to see for myself if the cherimoya is really worth trying to grow.
I have heard good things about them. Do you find the tree is to grow? Selma: yes just some pinkish right under the skin, not red fleshed. Nice sized fruits, less sweet, more complexity, seeds had to be worked at to be romoved. White: nice well balanced flavor, the fruit I had was baseball sized but I've seen much larger. Seeds separated easily from the flesh. El Bumpo: Good sized fruits, nice acidity for cherimoya. Seeds fell out of the fruit as they became exposed.
All of them had good texture, slight grittiness near the skin. It seemed like all of them had an average of seeds incl. I could see easily eating multiple fruits per day of any of them I did! This helps me a lot when it comes to chermoya picking and ripening. When picking from a tree , the first best way to tell if a cherimoya is ripe is to check if the fuss falls off. Second, it will turn a lighter yellow color.
Also, try shaking the fruit, if you can hear the seeds inside a hard fruit move or rattle then it will ripen perfectly. Then, give it a week to soften like a mango. Hope this information was helpful. Just curious, I got fruit-set that has lasted this long for the first time they are still small but very pretty El Bumpos.
Looking over the comments it sounds like I should start shaking the fruit, feeling it, and looking for stem breakaway in January, correct? Secondary question, I have a few fruit on different sections of the tree, the one towards the bottom looks like a perfect El Bumpo but the one at the top looks like some weird hybrid of an el bumpo and something more rounded. Is that just because I might not have done as thurough a pollination? Funny thing, just as an experiment I froze a vial of the pollen and used it the next year and it actually took.
