Love my Red Cherimoya

Received my Red Cherimoya three. It lost a lot of leaves, but it's typical because of being stressed from the shipping. The tree is bigger than I expected, so I'm happy about. I'm just waiting for the these triple digit hot weather in California and she will be in her permanent home. As always, thank you Everglades. Looking forward to order more trees from you.

Arrived safely and happy

The trunk branched to two main branches and one was vigorously growing but the other was rather empty. Kinda confusing but overall the tree is alive and happy with green foliage and new shoots pushing out. I ordered the red custard apple and I’m getting a sense that it’s less tolerant to cold temperatures than your standard cherimoya.
