Thank You so much, l have a little cherimoya tree from seed, it’s in my balcony. This season it had two flowers and they fallen. I hope next year they bloom and I’ll know what to do. Thanks again
It’s November and I just planted a cherimoya tree. Is it better to pollinate at night? Water 2 x a week? The flowers looks like it’s wilting, not sure if it’s too cold?
It’s a little too late to pollinate now. Pollination season starts in June. Focus on taking care of it now, and possibly pollinate this spring/summer. Water twice a week is a good start.
Hello, now it's September and my tree is full of baby cherimoyas, is this the time to trim extra branches? Can you tell us how to trim without hurting the tree at this time/season? thank you!
Hey there, a full trim is before Spring (right before they send out new growth). This is the time when you shape your trees. Check out my video below on how I prune my trees - link below. th-cam.com/video/TKhuj9u1vD0/w-d-xo.html Typically people only prune once and that's it. However, I prune twice because I like my trees clean and pretty and this is the time when I do it. Check out my latest video below. As long as you don't prune it excessively, your trees will be fine. th-cam.com/video/fGHtE0TxN2U/w-d-xo.html Good luck with your trees.
Only pollinate enough that your tree can handle. You can pollinate all but if your tree can’t handle all the fruits, it will automatically abort some and the rest may be small in size. Check out my latest video “August update” to get a feel on what your tree can handle. I current have 20-25 fruits per tree and they seem to be doing great at the moment.
@@Joshsmoove you can but I’m not sure how effective it is. Usually, you have roughly 24 hours to use the pollen once the flower turned male. Or you can try to collect the pollen and store in the fridge to use up to one week. You can cross pollinate too.
Does the female flower still go through the male phase even if pollinated? How did you know those two male flowers were not pollinated. Sorry for all the questions just a little confused with that part. I have Rollinia deliciosa so the flowers looks different to those ones, more like a little space shit and just a tiny hole in the bottom.
Yes, pollinated or not female flowers will transition/activate their male parts after some time. So, if you are short on pollen, you can collect the pollen on already pollinated females(I do this sometime). Usually I don’t touch already pollinated females so that I don’t damage them accidentally. I assumed the male flowers were not pollinated because I did not pollinated them myself. You are right that they could have been pollinated naturally by bees/insects.
Thank you. I used to use organic compost but it was too messy and lots of work to dig up the soil every time. So I switched over to the synthetic 16-16-16 all purpose fertilizer from homedepot :)
Hi have a tree from the antimoya family ut not sure which one it is! have photos of leaves and tree etc, can you tell me where I can send you the photos maybe you can help me?
@@tonyzerafa9178 I see. Too difficult to tell with just the leaves. Wait until it fruits, then you can compare it to what’s out there. Two of the most common varieties are geffner and African Pride. Might be one of those two.
Right now it’s once a month for me. If it’s a new tree, do weekly or bi-weekly. Look at how the leaves develop, if it’s a healthy green then continue what you are doing. If it starts to slow down, small, yellowy, then you’re overwatering it.
Not really because once the male parts become active, it’s no longer possible to pollinate the flower. Hence, you still need the bees. In my case, the brush.
@@thenoobgardener and by the way, what you’re saying makes no fucking sense what do you mean not really because once the male parts become active, it’s no longer possible to pollinate the flower, I know that the process and your pollinating another tree is doing the bees job at the end of the day. You sound kind of stupid on here.
I think we're on the same page but might have been a bad sentence structure. You said " flowers doing the bees, dirty work." That made me think you wanted to say the flowers are doing the bees' dirty work(pollinate). If you wrote "Basically fucking flowers, doing the bees' dirty work." Then I would have gotten what you were saying.
That shouldn't be the case, in my experience, they all should start out as female. Check your tree though out the day. Some bloom in the morning and some in the afternoon.

Sir, very useful good information provided by this video
Thank you sir
Thank you, glad you found it useful.

You’re welcome. Good luck next season!
Very educational… and clearly demonstrated 👍👍
Thank you
Finally a video that explains the pollen! Thank you, this is going to help me so much here in Central Florida.
Good luck with your trees!
I've watched many videos and I think yours has been the most informative. Many thanks
Thank you
Thank you. My atemoya came back to life. It has so many flowers. I need to do this.
Good luck.
Thank 😊 for answering my question. Liked the idea not to pollinate everything.
Very informative video. I'm just starting to learn about these plants, and you did a great job. Thanks.
Good luck with your trees.
Thank you so much Noob Gardener! I appreciate you for sharing your knowledge and this video was so helpful!
You’re welcome.
Very informative!
Thank you
Very well explained. Thank you very much.
WOW ! Thank you very much
You’re welcome.
Excellent presentation. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏.
Thanks
Great. Thanks
Glad you found it helpful.
The best video ❤
Thanks
thank you its very interesting... however i have a Night Blossom tree for 5 years and it does not bloom so no flowers
Really. Maybe graft another variety to it?
Thank you for sharing

Can you use the pollen from a pollinated female flower after it opens to expose the pollen?
Yes, however, I tend not to touch the female flower after it was pollinated in case I break it 😅

Only pollinate enough that your tree can handle. You can pollinate all but if your tree can’t handle all the fruits, it will automatically abort some and the rest may be small in size.

Thank you. 😊

@@thenoobgardener just went out and followed your method. Btw, can you use the pollen from dried male flowers?
@@Joshsmoove you can but I’m not sure how effective it is. Usually, you have roughly 24 hours to use the pollen once the flower turned male. Or you can try to collect the pollen and store in the fridge to use up to one week. You can cross pollinate too.
Hello, what was the brush size that you used and where did you purchase it?
Not sure of the size. It’s one of my wife’s makeup brushes.
Thank you

Just found your channel. Love how clean your garden is. What do you use to fertilize your trees?
Thank you. I used to use organic compost but it was too messy and lots of work to dig up the soil every time. So I switched over to the synthetic 16-16-16 all purpose fertilizer from homedepot :)
@@thenoobgardener that balance works for mangos too? Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Hi I’m growing from seed should I grow new starts outside or bring indoor
What’s the temp like? If above 60f, you can leave it outside.
Sir, can we polinate flowers that not open yet? not female form yet. Thx Sir.
No, I’ve tried before and it did not work.
Thx Sir
Fantastic video! My tree is huge, but no fruits.
I see, try pollinating this season and cross-pollinating if you have two trees.
@@thenoobgardener I only have one. :(
Hi have a tree from the antimoya family ut not sure which one it is! have photos of leaves and tree etc, can you tell me where I can send you the photos maybe you can help me?
It’s tough to tell with just the leaves. What does the fruit look like? Is the skin smooth or spiky?
@@thenoobgardener never had fruit yet

How much do you Water cherimoya tree.. or how often do you deep roots watering them?

@@thenoobgardener thanks for the quickly response, just start growing pink skin cherimoya .
Can we plant yarrow or lavender so bees and pollinate
you can, but I'm not sure what the set rate would be. I've have seen insects pollinating Atemoya flowers but it's low.
Basically fucking flowers doing the bees, dirty work 🤣🤣👌🏽

Bunga pria di pohon saya nggak ada yg terbuka sempurna seperti punya anda, makanya untuk melakukan penyerbukan agak kesulitan
@@bertosulistyo669 I see, do you have another tree? You can cross pollinate. How about graft another variety onto your tree and use its male flowers?

Good luck! Some varieties are harder to set than others.
What time of the year is this?
Pollinate from end of June through early Aug. July is typically when people mass pollinate.
You have to pay child support now, Brother.
