Yeah, and it's a shame, too.

University of Kentucky [I think that's right] has a hybridizing program. They're trying to make it a commercial crop. Seems odd that it has taken so long to recognize its potential.

So right now I'm sitting inside, air on, sipping a little white

the parents of one of Ms. Fatma's students. It's a cherimoya they
raised from seed. It makes the fourth Annonaceae in our collection
[two sugar apples and an atemoya]; the only other one I would like
to add is the native paw-paw, but doubt if we can give it the chill
hours it needs to be happy.
