Congrats,I stuck seedlings in the ground in late summer. Its gonna be 4-5 more years before they grow branches that can hold up ripe fruit.

Enjoy.

By Nov 23, I had three fruits, and I stored them in the fridge for several days, as they were too firm. Here they are a week laterThen I made ice creamTo make the ice cream, I removed the peeling and seeds from these three cherimoya (and there were quite a few seeds) and mashed the pulp with a fork to make sure I had not left any seeds. Then I pureed the pulp with one cup cream and 1/4 cup sugar and put that mixture into my ice cream maker. The cream and pulp were already cold, and so I did not have to chill the mixture before putting it into my machine, and my machine has a compressor anyway, but I like to give it a head start. The ice cream has a very nice texture and fragrant flavor. For me, this is a good way of storing the fruit once it is ripe, and it also makes it go a bit further. If I had enough pulp, I would have left out the cream and sugar. It made more than a quart of ice cream.
