Why are some cherimoyas red?

Now I know how to prune my cherimoya! Thanks a lot, Alex, for this video. Very good info for cherimoya growers!

Thanks a lot for sharing this video.

I would like to know Cherimoya tree can growth in the Fresno Valley (CA). I love to eat cherimoya fruit.

This guy is the most knowledge guy in Exotic Fruits in our Southern California.

Thanks so much mate! I have learned more from your clips about care of my cherimoya trees than I have managed to glean from trawling the grower's sites here in Australia. I have 220 trees, in their 2nd year. I better get busy with the pruning when spring rolls around. Until then, many thanks for your hand pollination clip too. excellent. I am not so daunted by the task now...

Thanks!

easy deal is to brace the base of the flower with pointer and index fingers, then spread the petals with your thumb, and stick the paint brush with the pollen into/onto the sticky center-cone-fruitlet-of-pistils, and give it a quick swirl. And then yeah, brake a petal tip for indicating pollination.

Thanks for the video..

where can I get a Cherimoya tree, I live at Rancho Cucamonga...

i have about 6 cherimoya seedlings growing ,my question is do they need to be grafted or how long years befor they fruit,so i can start looking for someone to give me scions ,im new at growing them but an expert at eating them ,thanks ,any help please anyone

it's very helpful information but it is MORE helpful if you focus or zoom in your camera on the details of the cutting area… thank you very much! good job dude...

Thank you!

will the garden tape around the base of the tree (against ants/bugs) hinder the growth of the tree?

gracias por este video..saludos de anaheim

Thanks for the info! I'll do this to my Atemoya since it always makes flowers but never fruit. My sugar apples are always abundant though. If the blooms on my red sugar apple come at the same time maybe i'll try cross pollinating and see what happens. I love the smell of the annona flowers too. They smell like sweet bananas to me.

Many thanks Alex. Very useful and very clear. A short picture of great value!

thanks Alex for the tips,now i ca enjoy my cherimoya

Very informative vid! I didn't even know you could grow guavas in California. I'm originally from south fla & they do very well there, but they don't grow well in central Florida( region 9a/9b). Also the fruit here is very suseptible to worms, which is just gross....

Thanks for the video, Alex. We've talked a few times at the Green Scene at the Fullerton Arboretum. I've got about 6 cherimoya trees in my backyard, without any fruit, in Anaheim, so it's about time I learn to do this. Thanks again.

this guy knows his stuff

Could you please explain to me how to do this process with papayas? And how to you tell if papayas are male or female before they produce fruit? Thanks -Ricky

Nice video!

Fantastico! Thank You So much for posting this video. It has helped me tremendously! Thank you! thank you! thank you!

I love your videos! I am growing a baby Cherimoya myself and these videos help me understand my plant better. In fact, I am growing a lot of common and exotic fruit currently for experimentation. Your video on protecting from ants came in handy when my orange tree was under attack. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and please post more videos! They are fantastic!

needs to prune it every year?

wow!!!!!! that really helps! I learned a lot about of pruning! thanks!

Great, really enjoyed!! Lots of great info!

I like your pruning. There are many ways to prune cherimoya but this is one of the best I have seen. Papaya Tree Nursery has always offered good advice. Thanks Alex.

I love cherimoya! Which cultivars do you carry? Which do you recommend for growing in the San Fernando Valley?

Thanks for showing how to prune a fruit tree!

you have a video of the later year after this massive cut ?
