TONIGHT WE FEAST! (tiny cherimoya fruit) (feddit.org)

Last year I managed to fertilize a single flower on my cherimoya tree, which is a bit difficult as the flowers are female in the morning and turn male in the evening. This year I will hopefully be able to have the tree in a south-facing window. So I'm hoping for proper fruiting next year.

Also, strangely enough, cherimoyas seem to do well in an indoor environment and don't seem to have any pest issues at all.

i never cease to be astounded by how things go about procreating, what's next? the flower being half male/half female split down the middle, and having that split rotate?
