How to Grow Cherimoya (Custard Apple) from Seeds 

Thank you for taking the time to help us newbies. I love Cherymoyas, but they are expensive to purchase when you can find them. So I will now start growing a few seedlings.

Love cherimoya and have 7 starts. Plan to keep growing them forever. 🌿😎🌿😎🌿😎🌿😎🌿😎🌿😎🌿...

Thank you so much! This was very helpful, and I am so excited to see if mine grow! I really appreciate your channel, you have a wonderful approachable style that presents the information in a way that is friendly and accessible ❤️

Thank you for this video!!! 😃 I’m going to try to grow a cherimoya now. It’s such a yummy fruit! 😋

I love sugar apple fruit, custard apple, and cherimoya. Thanks for sharing your video on how to grow cherimoya from seeds.

Loving this channel and I appreciate the updates of your seedlings :) new subscriber

Thank you for all you information. Going to plant mine really soon.

Thanks I've been thinking of growing cherimoya

amazing, i had 8 seeds and got only one plant. thanks for the tipps, ill try some more.

Cherimoya is my favorite fruit.

What a great tutorial vid, thanks for sharing 💕👌

Thanks for this video. I planted three seeds and all three of them sprouted

Just ate my first one today, it was mixed in w prickly pears aka cactus fruit, got about 20 seeds, the fruit was amazing, like bananas and strawberries mixed with kiwi in a way, my new favorite.

Very nice video. Thank you!

Just bought one going to try to grow it.

Thank you so much!

I’m thrilled to see your video ❤ I just received (10) Cherimoya seeds from online order. I researched the fruit. I am in Agriculture zone 8a in central Georgia. I’m infatuated with tropical fruits for their taste and medicinal properties. However these are sub-tropical. Thank you for the tutorial. I’m familiar with germinating seeds with soaking for twenty-four hours and then transferring them to paper towels soaked with aqueous hydrogen peroxide and folded and placed in plastic sandwich bag. Do you think after germination and potted can I place them in my greenhouse with 50-70% shade cloth? I also purchased a Sugar Apple Sop tree and pineapple mangoes and a cold hardy avocado(Fuerte and Bacon) trees for eating,cloning and sharing (selling). So it appears we have similar interests. Nature is such a blessing and plants just want to live and thrive just like people. Congratulations on your successful Cherimoya adventures. P.S. I have been experimenting with Moringa Olifera seeds (Miracle walking stick tree) a real challenge to transfer into the ground. FYI: This superfood tree will not survive for long in starter pots and will not tolerate temperatures of below 40 degrees at all. I had twelve trees in pots reduced to two survivors but I’m not giving up. Ironically, I just saw a RU-vid video today somewhere in Southeast Asia where a lady had two branches of Moringa. One four inch wide by seven feet tall branch dried for two days and planted in hole outside and it started budding in a couple of weeks! Total Blessings for Life y’all in Zone 8a 👍🏽

Well done.

i love this video

Thank you!

Hi! Would love to see a follow up on your Chrimoya trees!

Yes. I grew some from Seeds. Now waiting for fruits. About 3 months.

Thanks 🙏🏼

We grew up in Zimbabwe eating these. Absolutely adore them but cannot find them in the shops. Last time I saw one was in PE.

Wonderful video!! Eres Latina? How did you discover Chirimoya? It’s the most yummy fruit ever!!

I have two cherimoya trees (one white, one red varieties) and my white one produced 4 fruits for the first time but they are not green, they're more of a brownish grape color and still on the tree since this past fall. Just wondering when to pick it and why its not green like every video I see. Thanks for the video...I like the way you germinate seeds and will try it on a few types I have trouble with germinating.

It’s better to not mess around with pots and just plant them where you want the tree , the deep tap root that cherimoyas have need to stretch to have a fast growing healthy tree 👍

I try to germiante the seeds now in tiny propagator pots, can they surivie till next april in my window when i can put them in large ones? Small seedlings can be put in the garage at arroud 10 Celsius degrees? It grows faster than mangoes? It grows also in cooler temps? Thanks a lot

I bought a custard apple at the store, washed and planted the seeds.... now lets see what happens. Wish me luck.

Hi, is the 'white membrane' found at the bottom of the seed where the root comes out; and warm water at which temperature n how long the soaking? Thank you.

How long before the fruit come out when you plant from the seeds? Thanks.

How long do you soak the seed from fresh fruit

I planted 3 seeds and got 3 plants!! You need a lot of room because the roots are long 😃

Hi! Thank you for uploading this video. I'm also trying to grow cherimoyas in Texas indoor but I have been having some issues. I have three, 4-month old plants on an east-facing window. One of them lost their leaves (although is trying to grow a new one) and the other two have pale leaves, with light brown spots and black tips. I checked their roots today and they are fine, they don't have any pest either. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with mine? Maybe sunburn? Watering issue? Also, I wanted to ask: what type of soil are you using? Did you have them in a green house from the beginning? Thank you :)

ow long do you soak the seeds for??? few hours or for a day or so???

How long do I soak it in water for?

How often should I water them?

How long do u leave pot it in zip lock bag?

Love it. Just ate my first Cherimoya and it knocked my socks off. (At $9/pound that was sort of expected.) I’m taking your advice and going to try to grow seedlings. I hope Fort Myers Florida can provide the climate. I’ve heard it’s iffy and that Atemoya may be easier. Never ate an Atemoya though. Any advice on that by anyone out there would be appreciated. Thanks!

How are the Cherimoyas doing? I can't find the fruit in stores or at least haven't yet here in Florida. I'm soaking seeds now and all of them are floating. I hope that doesn't matter!

my small cherymoya is taller than me now at 5´11. I Am not familiar with growing such big plants. I know not what to do next with my beautiful tree. Feedback please?!

I have a plant growing from seed. It was a little difficult to get it. Plant was growing very slowly. Now is a little biger and on the sunlight.

How long until it give fruit? Any video about the care, pruning etc? Will taste the fruit as good as the fruit were seed came.from? Ty

Don't you nick the seeds prior to soaking. Also do you presoak in weak Hydrogen peroxide solution or Gibberillic acid to speed up germination?

Hello, can you grow store-bought ones?

Qween gorg

Got my first chirimoya Bought a 30 gallons container for it But they told me that they need hand pollination ?! Is this correct

Every attempt I’ve made has failed. I live in zone 10/So. San Diego.😢

Cherimoya is different than custard apple

Has your tree fruited yet?? I hear you need a male and female trees for the cherimoya to fruit. Is that true??
