I'm trying to figure out what I can grow where I'm at in Florida. We have a lot of heat but it can also get in the high 20's so it makes tropical stuff rough sometimes. Thanks for the videos great info.
I’m not 100% sure about the actual variety, but suspect it to be a Fino de Jete due to the low number of seeds. Cherimoya trees prefer filtered sun in the Central Valley’s summer, but with enough hydration, can take full day sun. In the 115°F days, the leaves may burn a bit.
Thank you. Unfortunately, I do not sell any of my tropicals. If you’re nearing the Los Angeles region, there are actually a good number of tropical fruit tree nurseries in the area.
My cherimoya quality is very different from previous years. The fruit is very seedy and fall while fruit is small. It never happened in the previous years. This cherimoya tree is more than 20 years. I had hand pollinated the tree since 2015 and had wonderful quality production between 2015-2021. What could be the causes? Thanks
It may be a fertilizer issue. Assuming nothing has changed, perhaps it may be environmental, particularly if the summer days get a bit too hot for too long.
Being tropical fruit trees, they do not go dormant, even in winter time. Instead, you’ll want to cut back on the watering though. I’ve made a number of videos covering the topic of watering and fertilizing.
There are numerous ethic grocery stores that sell them. On occasions, Vallarta Supermarket has them. Additionally, your local flea market has them around this time of the year. Yes, I have 3 soursop (guanabana) trees. I made a video on 10/24/2020 that touched on these trees.
I can’t speak for fruits grown in other climates, but specific to the Central Valley, as our winters generally arrive in November/December, I leave the fruits on the tree right before the first frost. This gives the fruits the maximum amount of time to allow for ripening while still on the tree. Once picked, the fruits will ripen on the countertop. Unfortunately, due to the Central Valley’s climate, this only allows the fruits from the months of May to November/December to remain on the tree. Not enough time to fully ripen the fruits on the tree.
I live in San Jose, and have a cherimoya tree for 11 years, and I took care it like a baby, and never bears any fruit. It's had a lot of flowers last year, this year only had 4 flowers, but they are all gone with no fruit on. I'm sad!
Great video, just wondeing how much sun your cherimoyas get. I am thinking of getting a tree but all the full sun areas in my backyard are already overplanted!
My two cherimoya trees in the front gets mostly full day sun, with some slight shade from nearby larger trees. The four in the back too gets mostly full day sun. In previous years, I made the mistake of planting two cherimoya trees that only received about 5 hours of direct sunlight. Although the trees did grow, their fruits developed extremely slowly and were very small compared to my atemoya trees of the same age that received full day sun.
That’s interesting. Assuming you are hand pollinating the flowers, I have had nearly a 100% success rate with the fruits setting. How and what time of the day are you hand pollinating the flowers?
If you’re nearing the Los Angeles region, there’s actually a good number of tropical fruit tree nurseries in the area. Here’s some videos I did touring some of them: Champa Nursery - Spring 2022 Tour th-cam.com/video/o1-Adgg5DKQ/w-d-xo.html Emily Garden Nursery - Spring 2022 Tour th-cam.com/video/gn1JDiz-riA/w-d-xo.html Mimosa Nursery - Spring 2022 Tour th-cam.com/video/YfOMOSsuGIo/w-d-xo.html
Dude I got lucky today and found a huge wild cherimoya growing in LA. It was as big as an oak tree and had so many ants on it I think they pollinated it. The fruits were just massive almost as big as coconuts. Also just a a question how long would you say it should take for a papaya to fruit when grown from seed because I have two three month old papayas that I believe are already flowering. I’ve never known a tree to flower that fast from seed
Atemoya and cherimoya fruits can get really big. I’ve seen some as large as a bowling ball. The reason we don’t see them that size in grocery stores is because the fruits generally go for $7 per pound, and at 5 pounds, almost no one is willing to pay $35 for a single fruit. Papaya trees will produce fruit within a year from seed. Mine are flowering and they’re just 6 months old. The thing with papaya is, you won’t know which plant type you got until they flower. Papaya comes in male, female and bi-sexual. Only the female and bi-sexual produce fruit.
@@vidnand2002 actually not in LA sorry but near bye I think it’s called the west coast botanical gardens there’s 3 cherimoyas and also a nice Java plum and pink wampi tree there you can harvest from.
I don’t know you’ll be able to find such ones. All varieties will produce fruits that will have some odd shaped ones, but some may resemble the desired shape.
I’ve had many cherimoya trees growing for 20 years in ground both seedling and grafted. They really need wind and even sun protection in full sun in our high heat climates of the Central Valley and foothills. You will not get much fruit in the inland climates without providing protection. My best productivity is on trees surrounded by bananas
Some wind protection would certainly help, particularly in the winter, though, compared to starfruit trees, cherimoya/atemoya trees are more tolerant. I have 2 in ground cherimoya trees in the front yard grown from seed that never needed sun/frost/wind protection. Then again, your experience may vary.
I’ve had exposed cherimoya trees almost completely defoliated during extreme winter weather, mostly due to wind accompanied by freezing temperatures, afterwards the fruit gets sunburned and drops off. Planting between citrus, avocado and bananas has been necessary to bring my fruit to maturity usually by February or March. A few years I’ve had some fruit ripening as early as December.
Could you talk about the pros and cons between seedling and grafted cherimoya? For other trees I always prefer grafted, but I heard it’s not true for cherimoya?
Specific to the annona family of trees, the primary advantage of getting a grafted tree is the certainty that the tree is true to seed, particularly when the grafted tree produces fruits; it’s seeds aren’t true to seeds. This is especially apparent with specialty varieties such as the red sugar apples whose seedlings will likely be the green varieties. The main advantage of growing them from seeds is that they’ll do so much better in its acclimated climate. Also, the trees do produce fruits at a very early age, generally in about 3 years.
My question is about male flowers with no anthers. Did you ever see male flower with no anthers? I know it will fall eventually, but what happened to these male flowers? Why the anthers are missing?
I personally have not seen any of my matured annona fruit trees producing flowers without their anthers. I can see the young trees not being ready for fruit production. In that case, the flowers will naturally fall off.

Hi, I am very impressed with your garden. I live in Fresno and would like to purchase some cherimoya fruit and or seeds from you. I have two seedlings now, but I would like to know the specific variety that I am growing.
Specific to cherimoya and atemoya trees, you absolutely can plant them relatively close to each other. Many of my cherimoya trees are planted just a few feet apart.
Could I prune off excess branches with no flowers at this time to promote airflow? My cherimoya grows too many overlapping branches. It is difficult to find flowers.
RE: Cherimoya Anthers What happened to the male flower with missing anthers and pollen? These few days I am unable to collect pollen to pollinate female flower. This year a few bees (more than previous year, why?) were observed to land around male flowers. Thanks
The unpollinated flowers will simply fall from the tree, including the male flowers. In addition to humidity, specific beetles can also pollinate cherimoya fruit trees in their native climate, however, we lack those insects here. I’m not sure bees will have any pollination impact.
I’ve seen folks grow cherimoya trees successfully in colder climate than Lindsay. Lindsay is about 20 miles away from Visalia, I don’t expect him to have any issues growing many annonas, including cherimoya.
Do you have any pruning strategy for your cherimoyas or just let them grow naturally? I grew 3 cherimoyas from seed 2 years ago and one turned into a 9 foot monster with a trunk thicker than an inch, and the other two are about 5 feet tall and have about a 5/8 inch trunk. Wondering if I need to cut the big one down to size this winter when it goes dormant.
There’s actually a trick to pruning cherimoya. I’ve seen conflicting information about flower formation. Some say the flowers grow on new growth while others state flowers only form on old growth. Once I get the fact straight, I will do a video on pruning the anonna trees next spring. For the most part, I don’t prune my anonna trees, except for my one soursop and that was so I could put it in the garage during winter.
Hi there, I really enjoy all your videos. Just subscribed too. May I know where you live in SoCal? We live in Torrance. I have an African Pride Atemoya tree than I got from Champa Nursery around 3 yrs back (15g). It produced around 10 fruits last yr & absolutely nothing this yr. As I couldn’t get hold of fertilizer, I applied only by around august. Also, I missed pruning. The tree is around 6 ft tall. Will you be able to share few scions? I can drive if u live close by or pay for postage. Pls help! Thanks in advance.
I’m actually in Central California, specially the city of Visalia, 50 miles south of Fresno. My go to place for annona trees has been Mimosa Nursery in Montebello, just around your next of the wood. They have a large selection of various annona trees.
From my comment to your other question: Even when hand pollinated, the flower will continue to transform into a male flower, however, if pollination is successful, the flower will remain and eventually turn into a fruit.
No problem. If your tree is matured, it’ll hold onto the flowers and will produce fruits. The tree knows if it is ready to produce fruits. That said, don’t be sad if none of your pollinated flowers set fruit, as the tree may simply not be ready. Once ready, I had nearly a 100% success rate with hand pollination.
@@TropicalCentralValley Two female flowers returned to male stage flowers @5:15 PM after pollinated at around 12:30 PM in the same day. Two days later, all the pollinated flowers returned to male stage. Why? Does it mean all flowers are not pollinized?
Even when hand pollinated, the flower will continue to transform into a male flower, however, if pollination is successful, the flower will remain and eventually turn into a fruit.
I will continue to observe and let you know the outcome. As of today, the pedals are dry, the flower did not fall off. The flower stem is green. Hopefully it won't wilt and fall.
Unless you live in a super high humidity region, you’ll want to hand pollinate. I discussed the hand pollination process in a video I made on 6/7/2020.
@@TropicalCentralValley what do u mean by super high humidity? We live in Torrance (near beach). Our humidity generally goes around 60%. I try to hand pollinate my Cherimoya tree. Is it needed?
