I haven't grown sugar apple seeds, but pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is in the same family, and I have started lots of those. Pawpaw seeds can take quite awhile to get started. They first send out a root, and several weeks later the shoot emerges. Are you looking at the seeds, or just looking for shoots above the soil? Alex

Sorry, never tried to grow them from seeds (cuttings were much easier!). But i think -though closer to Opuntioideae- they should do fine when treated like any big seeded cereus... moist and warm. Jordi

Morning, Fenius, you're more than welcome. I tried opening the link you posted, My 'puter is acting up, so it wouldn't open..Think I need a new computer. I'll retry later. I wanted to get back to you after reading a couple seeds needed immediate sowing. I don't think you'd be happy if they dried out. :( One seed is Voacanga. I should have written the other, but after reading hand-written notes, discovered I didn't jot the second seed. Where are your seeds now? I understand what you mean. Google is helpful, but talking to people who have first-hand experience is even better. I enjoy reading different opinions and success rates, too. Google didn't have any info for Elyotropis. Instead, Search asked, 'do you mean,' then listed a different plant,...can't recall which plant now. lol. Good luck, hope all your seeds germinate...Toni Plus,

Abayomi: ItâÂÂs Baby Aveeno shampoo :) Ethan: Funny you asked that. I made some mistakes in trying my first pepino. First being that we tried it on full stomachs. Second, it was eaten right after having some golden honeydew melon. It was night & day in comparison and a big let down. ItâÂÂs like eating an extremely juicy & ripened cucumber without a hint of sweetness. ThatâÂÂs probably because of the honeydew. But like you said, very under whelmed. I've always believed that any accurate taste testing is done on an empty stomach & clean palate (cleaning your tongue before sampling other fruits). So I'll give it another go with the remaining pepinos. I will also try some lime juice and chili powder to see if any enhancement in flavor. Tim
