Default "Dream" Atemoya tree

Finally! after a long wait, I received my grafted "Dream" Atemoya tree thru the mail yesterday (04/14/2016)!.....Beautiful and nice little "Dream" Atemoya tree!....This variety of Atemoya is not introduced commercially yet!.....

From the internet:

"Dream" Atemoya tree introduced by Wayne Clifton from Bradenton, Florida which reportedly fruits quite well in FL, with out hand pollination!....Mr. Wayne said he collected the seeds from a "true" Cherimoya (Annona Cherimola) about 10yrs ago, from Peru (not scions I believe), and that he grafted the seedling onto an Atemoya rootstock. Also the tree survived a 19 F temp drop with no problems!.....It fruits in clusters!.....Also is reported to taste incredible, and make large fruits!.....



Pictures taken on 04/14/2016


Well packaged;








Just added some bone meal and perlite to the organic potting mix soil.....




'Dream" Atemoya tree trans-planted!......I will keep it in a 3 gal. pot for at least a year then to the ground!....




More updates coming soon!.....

Nice pick-up... it has been a slow grower for me but it looks like mine might finally take off this year. I am getting a good amount of flowers too, which is tempting but I might let it dump all its energy into vegetative growth.

Please keep us updated on your progress

I'm confused. If it's Cherimoya grafted onto Atemoya rootstock, doesn't that make the fruit Cherimoya?

There is some debate as to whether the original plant was a true cherimoya because the leaves aren't characteristic of a cherimoya. The fruit however looks like a cherimoya. Maybe the fruit that the original seeds came from was cross pollinated.

Pretty sure that is not a good thing.

^+1 ... i just realized that i had dirt/mulch over the graft union, but quickly removed it. thankfully no damage, but the trunk was moist which is not a good thing.

here is a pic of the one i picked up early last year... please forgive the weeds. i also forgot to take a pic of the flowers.

Looks good! Dream is the best tasting cherimoya/atemoya I have had in Florida. Flavor and texture are great and there aren't many seeds.

Looks like your little tree is doing very well. It will grow big and be loaded with fruit before you know it.

Here is an update!.......


Dream Atemoya has been growing great!....In the beginning it was kind of a slow start, but once the Dream Atemoya tree got established, it just took off growing!....Lately, has been branched out very nicely!.....Right now is approx. 5 1/2 ft tall and keeps growing very nice!.....

Picture from 08/03/2017.....
