Hi Walter, could you tell me how long your cherimoya took to fully mature...mine seems to be taking forever...do you think the frost will hurt it ?..this year we had very heavy rains for one day in the early spring.. heavy enough to ruin the blossom on our White sapote...however it blossomed again later on [ fruit quite large but still not ripe] last year fruit was early...hoping also that it will ripen off before our weather gets too cold ???

This Cherimoya fruit set on late last summer and grew to tennis ball size until cool weather set in. In March it began growing again and now is larger than a soft ball. Can't wait until it starts to ripen. New blossoms are beginning to open already!
