Those fruit are huge! The ones we get at the market here are the size of a baseball and rock hard :/ I had a couple of my trees last year here in Dallas but 3 of my trees died and only 1 came back. Also my yard is a fraction the size of yours and I'm growing a ton of trees densely packed! As long as there is enough food and water for then then there is no issue!
Thanks for the information of using Amaro. I had great success in keeping ants from my house with applying Amaro to create a band of protection around my house before January. I did not know it is safe to apply Amaro around edible planting.
Hi. I enjoyed your video. I am from Trinidad, West Indies. We have sugar apple, custard apple and soursop (guanabana) here. We also have the wild varieties like Kashima (Google kashima fruit trinidad) and monkey apple (Google monkey apple fruit trinidad) which grow in forested areas. These are all big trees, the soursop and sugar apple being the smaller ones. I wonder how your cherimoya and atemoya will fare seeing that your growing space is limited. Regards. Trinidad & Tobago.
Thank you. Some of my anonna trees require frost protection, as our winters can dip down to -4 degrees Celsius. The atemoya, cherimoya, pawpaw and sugar apple trees seem to be okay with the frost. I do shelter my soursop and ilama trees during the winter. Due to the extreme cold, our anonna trees are limited in their growth, therefore, are naturally small in size.
Thank you. As Tampa is USDA zone 9b-10, atemoya trees would thrive in the region. Additionally, I would imagine your soil is slightly more favorable than ours when it comes to the pH and drainage factors - both of which are essential to tropical trees.
Wow all those fruit trees 🙀😋. Do you have any videos on how to transplant a cherimoya tree? I would really appreciate it if you did one. I ama new subscriber btw. Glad to have found your channel. Thanks 🙏
Unfortunately, there really isn’t any easy way to transplant an already in-ground cherimoya tree. The two cherimoya trees that I had moved from the front to the backyard simply involved me taking digging and taking great precaution to not disturb the roots then moving and planting them.
Definitely yes. Although cherimoya trees eventually get acclimated to our soil, they actually prefer soil with a lower pH. Unless you have well draining soil, make certain to amend your soil heavily. My previous video on planting a mango tree also applies to other tropical trees such as cherimoyas.
My grandmother had a charamoya tree in el Salvador they would sometimes go to waste because no one would eat them it's so sad because here there so expensive here!
Cherimoya and atemoya fruits do not ship well, hence their high prices. Besides the soursop (guanabana), most other anonna trees do really well in the Central Valley. This year alone, my atemoya tree has about 20 fruits.
I have had great success with using Amdro to get rid of ants which in turn gets rid of scale, and 50% of your other pests: www.lowes.com/pd/AMDRO-Ant-Block-24-oz-Ant-Killer/5013150305
I know there’s a few places that sell “tropical” fruit trees, but you’re likely not going to see much selection, maybe some guava and cherimoya trees, similar to the inventory of your local home improvement stores.
There’s no harm in pruning vertical branches as they tend to get super heavy with fruits. Pruning them low also helps with hand pollination. In my case, I like to keep my annona trees no taller than 15 feet while pruning out all branches that grow downwards.
I can't find any atemoya in my country, and I don't want to pay €70 & shipping to get it from abroad since the locally available annonas are typically €10-€12. How do I produce the atemoya fruit with viable seeds? Male squamosa flower X female cherimoya flower or vice versa?
Specific to the cross breeding, rather than attempting to create an atemoya fruit with a sugar apple and cherimoya, it would be much better if you are able to obtain a grafted atemoya tree. Atemoya seeds are generally not true to seed due to its parent having been a combination of the two other annona fruits.
Yes, all of my cherimoya trees are planted in full sun. When younger, I did shade them during the summer season, however, after year 2, they’re generally fine.
Hey dude....i live in the southern part of state,,,, it seem all your cherimoya is on the ground ... i have a soursoup in a pot for two year... then decide to transplant it to ground..after a year it die...what your secret....
Soursop is one of the few trees that are ultra sensitive to cold. The 3 soursop trees I have are all in containers. I notice the leaves starts defoliating when the temperature drops below 40 degrees. Many of my other anonna trees, such as the cherimoya, atemoya, sugar apple, paw paw and illama are hardier to the cold. My cherimoya and atemoya trees have no issue with the Central Valley frost. We got down to 24 degrees last winter. As you are in Southern CA, I imagine you guys don’t go beyond 30-35 degrees during the winter time. Besides the soursop, you shouldn’t have any issues planting other anonna trees in ground.
If referring to the red sugar apple (Kampong Mauve), yes, it made it through winter. It is currently sprouting new leaves and flowers. It needs extreme heat before the flowers will bloom. Once bloom, hand pollinating will be performed and fruiting likely in July.
@@TropicalCentralValley please keep me posted. I have one too and I live in San Jose. This is my first time growing one and have it for only 1-2 months. It from seedling and I think only 2 years old.
As the atemoya and cherimoya are in the same annona family as the custard/sugar apple, the taste is very similar. Thought, I noticed the cherimoya tastes slightly sweeter than the atemoya.
Iba ang atemoya sa amin bilog parang bola at makinis ang balat ang puno at dahon walang pinagkaiba sa guyabano medyo malaki ng kunte ang dahon a mayabong ang mga sanga. Iyan ay anonas.
I apologize, I'm not fluent in Filipino. According to Google Translate, your comments were translated to - "the atemoya is different from us round like a ball and the skin is smooth the tree and leaves are no different from guyabano the leaves are quite large and the branches are fertile. that is anonas" Although the atemoya and cherimoya fruits can grow to massive size, I've seen some really big soursop, about the size of watermelon. Translated through Google Translate Bagama't ang mga prutas ng atemoya at cherimoya ay maaaring lumaki sa napakalaking laki, nakakita ako ng ilang talagang malalaking guyabano, na halos kasing laki ng pakwan.
I’m not sure of any online sources that ships internationally. All of my tropicals were obtained from various tropical fruit tree nurseries near my region.
I have cherimoya tree in a pot. All leaves fell in Jan/feb. up to now there are no leaves. When will leaves grow back? Also do they like acidic soil? I’m thinking of repotting. Thank you!
All of my annona trees have began to shed and replace their old foliage. This process depends heavily on the weather, particularly it needs a lot of heat. Annonas aren’t too picky about the soil pH, though they prefer to in the 6.5pH. Specific to your cherimoya, now may be a good time to pot in, however, be careful when digging it up.
I’m aware of a few, however, from their website, their selection is extremely limited. You’re bound to find better inventory from your local home improvement stores.
Sorry, I don’t sell any of my tropicals. Instead, I give away the seeds, seedlings, cuttings, etc. If you want to direct message me on Instagram at TropicalCentralValley, I’d be more than happy to mail you some cherimoya seeds.
Unfortunately, I do not sell any of my tropical fruit trees. Specific to the cherimoya and atemoya, if you are able to obtain a fresh fruit, the seeds germinate very easily. Also, it only takes 3 years before the tree bears fruit if grown from seed.
I actually do not sell any of my plants or seeds. Instead, I give them away for free. If you’re in the States, I can mail you some seeds. I should mention, right now is atemoya and cherimoya season. Many ethnic grocery stores carry the actual fruits. Their seed propagate easily, especially from fresh fruits.

I see your not trying to make yourself look like a “expert “ like a lot of people that make videos on annonas, usually you don’t see a second video after they plant their tree , but in their videos they are supposedly giving “ useful info” 😂

Can you posted pictures of leaves of sugar apple vs Atemoya & Cherimoya
Yes, I do it all the time on my Instagram page.

There’s no harm in pruning vertical branches as they tend to get super heavy with fruits. Pruning them low also helps with hand pollination.
In my case, I like to keep my annona trees no taller than 15 feet while pruning out all branches that grow downwards.
Can u ship to usa?
Where in the valley do you grow your fruit? I am in central Fresno

Are your cherimoya in full sun??? What do you do for it during the summer time?
Yes, all of my cherimoya trees are planted in full sun. When younger, I did shade them during the summer season, however, after year 2, they’re generally fine.

Did your purple or red sugar apple make it thru the winter or did it fruit yet?

@@TropicalCentralValley please keep me posted. I have one too and I live in San Jose. This is my first time growing one and have it for only 1-2 months. It from seedling and I think only 2 years old.
Yours likely will fruit next year, as sugar apples fruit young even when grown from seed.
@@TropicalCentralValley I hope so too, but just don’t know if it can hold the fruit since we are not that hot and humid like in FL.
The humidity aids with self pollination. You’ll want to hand pollinate the flowers.
Is it like a custard Apple ? What does it taste like please
As the atemoya and cherimoya are in the same annona family as the custard/sugar apple, the taste is very similar.

From where I can get seeds or plant of Atemoya & Cherimoya, because it is not available in my country
I’m not sure of any online sources that ships internationally. All of my tropicals were obtained from various tropical fruit tree nurseries near my region.
Does it taste like guyabano?
Personally, I believe the atemoya and cherimoya fruits to be slightly sweeter than the guyabano (soursop).
where is this ? Florida?
Nope, just Central Valley in California, specifically the city of Visalia.
which city are you in?
Visalia, CA. This video is a bit old. I have since made several videos focusing on anonna trees.
I have cherimoya tree in a pot. All leaves fell in Jan/feb. up to now there are no leaves. When will leaves grow back? Also do they like acidic soil? I’m thinking of repotting. Thank you!

where can I buy an atemoya grafted tree ?
There are numerous tropical nurseries in Los Angeles.
apparently there are 2 in N CA @@TropicalCentralValley
I’m aware of a few, however, from their website, their selection is extremely limited. You’re bound to find better inventory from your local home improvement stores.
How do you order the seeds?
I’m not sure where you would find online seeds. I bought all of my annona trees from various tropical fruit tree nurseries in the Los Angeles region.
Hi sir,would you sell me few cherimoya seeds please I’m in Hawaii thanks

that flower will dropped.. Hand pollunate it to secure it..
I completely agree.
if you want the new brands come up, u need to cut off old brands and its leaves, im a vietnamese fruit farmer.
Thank you for the tip, for atemoya and cherimoya trees, I actually train the trees to produce more lateral branches as those branches fruit better.
can you sell me some atemoya and cherimoya seedlings ?
I actually do not sell any of my plants or seeds. Instead, I give them away for free. If you’re in the States, I can mail you some seeds.
