Comment on Cherimoya Fruit!

That is amazing about the pollination!
I had a cherimoya once and it was tasty. I saved the seeds somewhere but never did anything with them, it is neat to hear it is an interesting plant. Any picks of the full plant?

It’s currently in my bathroom, which is clean but still not very sighty. And I’m currently trying to kinda trellis it as it has become quite unwieldy and I can’t really move it much without endangering it a bit.
But I’m planning to relocate it after pruning next spring. As soon as the leaves have grown back, there will definitely be pictures! :D

No problem, I was mainly curious if it was a tree, shrub, etc.
I looked it up and it seems to be a lowish tree.
Is it a difficult plant or does it need anything special?

Funnily enough, it’s my least troublesome plant.
I got it as a impulse purchase. But the novelty only lasted a few weeks, so I pretty much dismissed it and put it in the bathroom to get more space for plants I liked better. But it endured for a entire year, thanklessly and without a single complaint. No pests, no fertilizer issues, no water problems, no rot or anything. And then it put put it’s first flowers aswell.
This one really clawed it’s way back into my heart and I consider one of my favorite plants by now. It really earned it.

I have some plants that have gone through similar phases of love too. Most of the ones I had been really excited to buy have turned out to be very particular and short lived, but then I have some plain janes that have been so drama free they’ve become my favorites since I got plants to have fun enjoying them, not to continuously nurse a bunch of sickly patients!
