Good to hear, thank you Stanofh. It was not bare root, whew. So do you think I should wait until it recovers completely before planting it to the ground? Thanks again!

My poor tree now:

Wait until it resprouts. Also,put a big saucer under it so that it stays watered. Right now would be a very bad time to let it go dry again. Keep it in part shade,light shade. You don't want sun on it all day.

Will do that, thank you so much for the advice! :-)

if you are local in los angels, i can give you one of mine. I love cherimoyas and have many cultavars but do not know which

Thanks for the generous offer, Jason. Too bad I'm in north-cal instead. And the two trees that I have actually pushed new growth, so fingers crossed :)

nice !!!

Yup, they are more hardy than I expected:
