Thank you for taking the time to help us newbies. I love Cherymoyas, but they are expensive to purchase when you can find them. So I will now start growing a few seedlings.
November 2024, buying them every week at the market here at Chiang Mail Thailand. 1 kilo is between 2.35 USD and 2.94 USD/KG. That is between 80 and 100 Thai Baht per kg.
Just ate my first one today, it was mixed in w prickly pears aka cactus fruit, got about 20 seeds, the fruit was amazing, like bananas and strawberries mixed with kiwi in a way, my new favorite.
From my experience, unless you graft the tree you will be waiting at least a decade before you get fruit. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure I’m correct.
Thanks for the good refresher! I grew a cherimoya previously but inadvertently killed it. 😢 But they came back to the store (an annual treat) and I’m going to grow again!
I’m thrilled to see your video ❤ I just received (10) Cherimoya seeds from online order. I researched the fruit. I am in Agriculture zone 8a in central Georgia. I’m infatuated with tropical fruits for their taste and medicinal properties. However these are sub-tropical. Thank you for the tutorial. I’m familiar with germinating seeds with soaking for twenty-four hours and then transferring them to paper towels soaked with aqueous hydrogen peroxide and folded and placed in plastic sandwich bag. Do you think after germination and potted can I place them in my greenhouse with 50-70% shade cloth? I also purchased a Sugar Apple Sop tree and pineapple mangoes and a cold hardy avocado(Fuerte and Bacon) trees for eating,cloning and sharing (selling). So it appears we have similar interests. Nature is such a blessing and plants just want to live and thrive just like people. Congratulations on your successful Cherimoya adventures. P.S. I have been experimenting with Moringa Olifera seeds (Miracle walking stick tree) a real challenge to transfer into the ground. FYI: This superfood tree will not survive for long in starter pots and will not tolerate temperatures of below 40 degrees at all. I had twelve trees in pots reduced to two survivors but I’m not giving up. Ironically, I just saw a TH-cam video today somewhere in Southeast Asia where a lady had two branches of Moringa. One four inch wide by seven feet tall branch dried for two days and planted in hole outside and it started budding in a couple of weeks! Total Blessings for Life y’all in Zone 8a 👍🏽
Thank you so much! This was very helpful, and I am so excited to see if mine grow! I really appreciate your channel, you have a wonderful approachable style that presents the information in a way that is friendly and accessible ❤️
I purchased two small trees from a lady in South Africa,she also gave me two fruits with,also the the fruit got ripen in with bananas and myself and family enjoyed the Cherymoya fruits so much.I also did the same process but in the papertowel and the roots came out,i have planted it into small containers and the small plant came out,im so excited.My trees that i purchased are also doing very well.Its summer here by us and i have fifty leaves and the tree is thriving.My next step is to repot the tree into a bigger pot until I've prepared the final place in my garden for the tree for its permanent place.Kindly let me know if anyone have suggestions for please as this tree is one of my holiest trees I'm treasuring?lol😊.
Hi, is the 'white membrane' found at the bottom of the seed where the root comes out; and warm water at which temperature n how long the soaking? Thank you.
Just want to thank you for your help but I have a good question for you. I live on Maui, and I was wondering if a person is capable of just putting the seeds in the ground here, like interested in making it garden. For instance, do you have any advice for me in this area?
How many years does it take for it to bear fruits from a seedling? Do I need to cross pollinate or can I just plant 2 seedlings close together? Somebody gave me 3 seedlings that are about 6 months old. They have leaves. Should I leave them out in the sun or keep them in the shade while they're still small?
I have two cherimoya trees (one white, one red varieties) and my white one produced 4 fruits for the first time but they are not green, they're more of a brownish grape color and still on the tree since this past fall. Just wondering when to pick it and why its not green like every video I see. Thanks for the video...I like the way you germinate seeds and will try it on a few types I have trouble with germinating.
I try to germiante the seeds now in tiny propagator pots, can they surivie till next april in my window when i can put them in large ones? Small seedlings can be put in the garage at arroud 10 Celsius degrees? It grows faster than mangoes? It grows also in cooler temps? Thanks a lot
Thank you everyone for watching, liking, and commenting on this video. Hey, do ya’ll want to see how these seedlings are doing? Check out this video to see these seedlings grow from Spring to Fall 2019: th-cam.com/video/v9W2lHD1tTo/w-d-xo.html
my small cherymoya is taller than me now at 5´11. I Am not familiar with growing such big plants. I know not what to do next with my beautiful tree. Feedback please?!
How are the Cherimoyas doing? I can't find the fruit in stores or at least haven't yet here in Florida. I'm soaking seeds now and all of them are floating. I hope that doesn't matter!
My tree is in my garage underneath a carport,it also serves as a green house as i have lots of heat and sunlight and currently where my tree is standing also on a high spot its doing very well,i counted my leaves and there is now over fifty leaves on my tree and very greenish and it also looks very healthy.
That's awesome! Give it a bit of sunlight as it grows and it should take off. Just make sure it's not too stressed out. As of summer 2023, my 4.5-year-old seedlings got stressed out with the record-breaking summer heat. They regrowing their leaves as of Sept 2023. I hope to release an update soon.
It’s better to not mess around with pots and just plant them where you want the tree , the deep tap root that cherimoyas have need to stretch to have a fast growing healthy tree 👍
Love it. Just ate my first Cherimoya and it knocked my socks off. (At $9/pound that was sort of expected.) I’m taking your advice and going to try to grow seedlings. I hope Fort Myers Florida can provide the climate. I’ve heard it’s iffy and that Atemoya may be easier. Never ate an Atemoya though. Any advice on that by anyone out there would be appreciated. Thanks!
Fort Myers should be great for growing Cherimoyas. They're expensive at the stores ($9.99 a pound) but I'll grab one wherever I can; the same with Soursops, which are a little bit more expensive. I haven't tried an Atemoya, but it's on my wish list!
I've been having trouble getting seeds to germinate as well. However, I may have one growing now! I say "may" because it's in a pot labeled "bay nut and date seeds", but it looks like the seedlings in the video and we reuse pots a lot, and I did plant a bunch of cherimoya seeds a while back (probably months ago). Apparently, it did nothing until I put the pot under a leaky water faucet outside and so the soil was quite wet - not sure if that helps. This was April in the Bay Area (10a?).
Hi! Thank you for uploading this video. I'm also trying to grow cherimoyas in Texas indoor but I have been having some issues. I have three, 4-month old plants on an east-facing window. One of them lost their leaves (although is trying to grow a new one) and the other two have pale leaves, with light brown spots and black tips. I checked their roots today and they are fine, they don't have any pest either. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with mine? Maybe sunburn? Watering issue? Also, I wanted to ask: what type of soil are you using? Did you have them in a green house from the beginning? Thank you :)
Annona trees do loose their leaves during the cooler part of the year here in the Caribbean. Then they put out new leaves. This is part of their cycle. As long as the branches aren't dry they are just fine.
Cherimoya have male and female flowers on the same tree. The flowers are female when they barely start to open and then they turn male once they are wide open. You have to collect the pollen beforehand from another flower that's turned male to pollinate the female before it turns male.
Thank you for taking the time to help us newbies. I love Cherymoyas, but they are expensive to purchase when you can find them. So I will now start growing a few seedlings.

Thanks for this video. I planted three seeds and all three of them sprouted
How's it going a year later?
@@Pandach_1 its going great. I only got two cherimoya plants and they are both growing great
Just ate my first one today, it was mixed in w prickly pears aka cactus fruit, got about 20 seeds, the fruit was amazing, like bananas and strawberries mixed with kiwi in a way, my new favorite.
It's my favorite, too, even though the fruit's getting more expensive! But it's worth it!
Love cherimoya and have 7 starts.
Plan to keep growing them forever.
🌿😎🌿😎🌿😎🌿😎🌿😎🌿😎🌿...
Thank you! I’ll be planting soon, just after the fruit! It’s harvest season here in the Azores
I love sugar apple fruit, custard apple, and cherimoya. Thanks for sharing your video on how to grow cherimoya from seeds.
From my experience, unless you graft the tree you will be waiting at least a decade before you get fruit. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure I’m correct.
Thanks for the good refresher! I grew a cherimoya previously but inadvertently killed it. 😢 But they came back to the store (an annual treat) and I’m going to grow again!
How long do I soak it in water for?
Thanks, very helpful and comprehensive.
Cherimoya is my favorite fruit.

Did they end up sprouting a year later?
amazing, i had 8 seeds and got only one plant. thanks for the tipps, ill try some more.
Just bought one going to try to grow it.
Yes. I grew some from Seeds. Now waiting for fruits. About 3 months.
Well done.
Thanks I've been thinking of growing cherimoya
FANTASTIC THANK YOU i have tried out of 30 seeds only 2 germinated😢
Loving this channel and I appreciate the updates of your seedlings :) new subscriber
Thank you for all you information. Going to plant mine really soon.

How long do you soak the seed from fresh fruit
What a great tutorial vid, thanks for sharing 💕👌
We grew up in Zimbabwe eating these. Absolutely adore them but cannot find them in the shops. Last time I saw one was in PE.
Hi, is the 'white membrane' found at the bottom of the seed where the root comes out; and warm water at which temperature n how long the soaking? Thank you.

How long do u leave pot it in zip lock bag?
Thank you so much!

thanks ShamrockgirlWorld. What is the Climate Zone where we can grow it ?
I try to germiante the seeds now in tiny propagator pots, can they surivie till next april in my window when i can put them in large ones?
Small seedlings can be put in the garage at arroud 10 Celsius degrees?
It grows faster than mangoes?
It grows also in cooler temps?
Thanks a lot

How long before the fruit come out when you plant from the seeds? Thanks.
Very nice video. Thank you!
Hi! Would love to see a follow up on your Chrimoya trees!
How often should I water them?
ow long do you soak the seeds for??? few hours or for a day or so???
Don't you nick the seeds prior to soaking. Also do you presoak in weak Hydrogen peroxide solution or Gibberillic acid to speed up germination?
my small cherymoya is taller than me now at 5´11. I Am not familiar with growing such big plants. I know not what to do next with my beautiful tree. Feedback please?!
If it’s a house plant you should trim it.
@@zacharykenniston748 yes it is , and it's grown way too big for a house plant. is there a certain pattern to trimming it?
I bought a custard apple at the store, washed and planted the seeds.... now lets see what happens. Wish me luck.
How are the Cherimoyas doing? I can't find the fruit in stores or at least haven't yet here in Florida. I'm soaking seeds now and all of them are floating. I hope that doesn't matter!
Sadly, floating seed won't germinate. But if you don't have alternatives give them a try and you might be lucky seeing them germinate.
Good luck
Sprouts has them
I’ve had floating seeds grow but sinkers are stronger growers.
Mine has four leaves now , do I water everyday,do I keep them out in direct sunlight.?
My tree is in my garage underneath a carport,it also serves as a green house as i have lots of heat and sunlight and currently where my tree is standing also on a high spot its doing very well,i counted my leaves and there is now over fifty leaves on my tree and very greenish and it also looks very healthy.
I have a plant growing from seed. It was a little difficult to get it. Plant was growing very slowly. Now is a little biger and on the sunlight.
That's awesome! Give it a bit of sunlight as it grows and it should take off. Just make sure it's not too stressed out.
As of summer 2023, my 4.5-year-old seedlings got stressed out with the record-breaking summer heat. They regrowing their leaves as of Sept 2023. I hope to release an update soon.

Wonderful video!! Eres Latina? How did you discover Chirimoya? It’s the most yummy fruit ever!!
Got my first chirimoya
Bought a 30 gallons container for it
But they told me that they need hand pollination
?!
Is this correct
Yes. They have to be hand pollinated to bear fruit.
Hello, can you grow store-bought ones?
Yes. Use the seeds obviously. It is a simple and delicate process.
Just make sure the seeds aren’t mushy
i love this video
Every attempt I’ve made has failed. I live in zone 10/So. San Diego.😢
I've been having trouble getting seeds to germinate as well. However, I may have one growing now!

I have had some light brown spots and I am confident it is the overexposure to the light source. Definitely not a water problem from my experience.
Ryan T.A thank you!!!
Annona trees do loose their leaves during the cooler part of the year here in the Caribbean. Then they put out new leaves. This is part of their cycle. As long as the branches aren't dry they are just fine.
Cherimoya rust disease
@@deejeff8846 how do you handle it?!
How long until it give fruit? Any video about the care, pruning etc? Will taste the fruit as good as the fruit were seed came.from? Ty
They don't grow true to seed. That's why most grow seedlings for root stock and graft a known variety on them.
Thank you!
Thanks 🙏🏼

Cherimoya is different than custard apple
Has your tree fruited yet?? I hear you need a male and female trees for the cherimoya to fruit. Is that true??
Cherimoya have male and female flowers on the same tree. The flowers are female when they barely start to open and then they turn male once they are wide open. You have to collect the pollen beforehand from another flower that's turned male to pollinate the female before it turns male.
