[@Wild_California]

Awesome! I tried some very rare and delicious fruits in NE Aus, up near Daintree.

I like Chirimoya , especially the Chirimoya Ice Cream from CHILE !!!!!!!!! .......

[@Wild_California]

Oh dang that sounds fantastic! Maybe I’ll try to make some.

[@RichsTopGardening]

Thank you for the fruit sampling videos. I believe what you had was probably both cherimoyas. You can not determine if they are cherimoya by the bumpy shape alone as the shapes are quite varied even in pure cherimoya genetics. My guess is that what you had was most likely a Bays the small indented fruit and the Dr. White for the larger.

[@Wild_California]

Thanks for chiming in! I am doing more image searching on varieties and you may be right (esp considering they taste they same). The Dr White doesn’t look quite right to me, but I’m seeing a variety of Cherimoya called “El Bumpo” that more closely matches what I had. Hmm the search continues then perhaps.

[@RichsTopGardening]

@SteigeySense El Bumpo is well much much more bumpy as the name, ahah. Dr. White is an old variety along with a few others like Bays that are commonly found on the old cherimoya orchards. Dr. white usually has some bumpiness combine with indented surface. Usually a little sweeter than other varieties but not as complex.

Nice vid! Are they grown in San Diego? I tasted some Loquat fresh off the tree in Los Angeles late March this year.

[@Wild_California]

Grown in Escondido, which is northern end of San Diego County. Loquats and Longans do really well here, love them!

[@geriannroth449]

Delicious. Do you sell the seeds of these fruit?

[@Wild_California]

I have not but I have some seedlings if you want one. Are you local to SD? The seeds can be harvested direct from the fruit, if you can get some.

[@geriannroth449]

​@@Wild_Californiapresently I live in Barbados. I've never seen this tree here nor the fruit

[@Wild_California]

@@geriannroth449 I did a little digging online and it seems that fruit is maybe not present in Barbados. I could mail you seeds maybe (or you could try Etsy) but I suspect it will get confiscated in customs?

[@geriannroth449]

@Wild_California I've tried Esty with some other seeds but they've been mostly Not viable

[@geriannroth449]

​@@Wild_Californiawell if you send them to my family's address in the USA, they'll just bring them down when they visit me

[@geriannroth449]

OK np thanks anyways

[@Wild_California]
