Garden of Delights in FL has them.

There is also another source. Just send me an email if interested.

If you are in Ventura county it would be cheaper and you would get a much larger plant by searching local nurseries in LA, Ventura, and Orange counties. I have seen 5 gallon Atemoyas at Armstrongs and Green Arrow/Thumb several times.

Good Luck

tony la,

Which Armstrong and Greenthumb nurseries did you see Atemoya trees at? I'd like to get one locally, too. I'm surprised that they even know what an Atemoya is. I've seen Cherimoya trees, but never Atemoya.

I got one at Mimosa Nursery in Anaheim last week, but they only had one cultivar, "Geffer".

The Green Thumb in Conoga Park has had them in the past and at least three Armstrongs (Sherman Oaks, Glendale, West LA?) had them in the last few years. The staff often are not familiar with tropical fruit trees but if you search the tropical fruit section you sometimes find suprising plants. Last year I stopped by the Green Thumb in Ventura county and they had a Rollina Deliciosa (It was in poor shape due to the cool weather, but who would have thought they would carry something like that). By the way I believe the Atemoya trees I have seen (all gefner) and the one I purchased originaly came from from California Tropical Tree Nursery. Gary, have you tried Roger & Shirley Meyer in the Orange County? They carry some interesting fruit trees that you would otherwise need to have shipped.
