This in-ground grafted 'El Bumpo' tree is 3-4 years old and requires regular pruning to avoid hitting the greenhouse ceiling, but has yet to produce any fruitlets until now. Cherimoya unfortunately requires hand-pollination to set fruit, and even worse the flowers & pollen are only viable for a few hours... and I only even bother to try paintbrush pollination when I am already out there and see some fresh flowers.

If this fruit is not fantastic I'm digging this whole tree up and replacing with a Geffner atemoya I already have in a pot that is a better producer, without any hand pollination.
