i beg the forgiveness of those purists on the list but....
Im kind of envious of you, Mach, since living in Hawaii you are able to
grow all kinds of interesting fruit trees that shrivel up and die here
in California! However about the only Annona we could grow is Annona
cherimola (Cherimoya). I like how it tastes but its so damn rich! I
would love to grow carambolas, and other things like mangoes, but alas
theyre too sensitive to cold (although i heard that mangoes can be
grown in containers.....)
