Wow it takes a sleep of faith to prune this aggressively... I did a heavy prune on my lemon tree and it hasn't let out fruit in two years! Kind of scared to prune this much.. Is this also done to keep the tree a manageable size? Thanks
Yes to keep it at manageable size. It did great last season after the prune. Check out my latest video on it. This season I did not prune as much bc parts of the tree died over the winter.
It's normal for Atemoyas to lose all its leaves during the winter. They come back in the spring (you can check out my Atemoya pruning video where I removed all the leaves). If yours end up dying, then it could be that this past winter was too cold and prolonged. Try pruning back the branches a little bit to force it to send out new growth.

Great videos. I have a small Atemoya tree. I live in Long Beach. My tree had basically turned into a stick. What is happening?

@@thenoobgardener thank you for the advice. I'll try pruning it. It's not a very big tree.
