How and Why to Prune Sugar Apple in Early Spring
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 04. 2021
- Hello everyone, In today's video we are going to pruning our sugar apple (Annona squamosa). The reason why we are pruning our sugar apples (if you haven't yet already done so) is so we focus energy on new growth & flowers.
We also trim to invigorate the branches below and make them thicker and stronger base to hold bigger fruits.
You can also remove last season's sugar apple leaves as by now March 31st, 2021 all Annonaceae fruit trees should be budding out and pushing new growth in Central & Southern Florida.
It is important to keep sugar apple nice and trimmed as it can support fruit better in the future.
Sugar apple is a tropical fruit tree that grows very well in a pot as well as in the ground, in this tutorial we are trimming sugar apples I have in pots.

@@gardenflorida Yes I do. I sell seedless sugar apple on line between cities in country the plants come from grafting.
Do you cut the side branches? My sugar apple tree looks like a peacock. And all the leaves and branches look healthy. Should I still trim them?
When you mentioned pruned on 31 March,
what is season in your area what month of the season.
I live at the bottom of the world so have to convert months between Northern and Southern area.
Do you meant we should pruned at the middle if Winter or so...

Does the tree self polinates?
I just buy a sugar apple and it looks not so healthy. I don’t know when to water or not to water after reading up so much information. Should i trim the tree where area looks dead? Any help is appreciated.
Why my sugar apple plenty of flower but canot build fruit what can l do
So basically snip the tops of each branch, leave new growth and remove browning leaves?
Can I prune my sugar apple tree right now it’s July in Central Florida?
How old is the tree and how is it doing now?
When you do the cut can you do closer looks please, people like me just started don’t know how. Thanks
My sugarapple tree is 4 years old. No fruits yet..
off topic but I found your channel researching vego garden beds. I see them in this video and was wondering if you still recommend them?
YesI do recommend vego garden beds.
Hi..I m new for sugar apple.. I m base on bottom of the world our seasons is opposite. Until now still do hands pollinated at mid Autumn.
Hope to get more flowers next year..tell me about this.. how to get more flowers please. Thank heap.
I would suggest a balanced fertilizer such as ‘Osmocote indoor and outdoors’ as well as pruning your sugar apple about 1/3 of the branches. After pruning the branches it will flower off the wood that is pruned. Good luck!
hi, I only have one custard apple tree in 25 inches pot, I will be will like to transplant it on the ground this year. it is flowering right now. if only I had seen your pruning video I probably had prune it early. But I have many questions for you. what type of fertilizer do sugar apples need and when do you fertilizer them? do I need to hand pollinate them too? how about water do they like a lot of water, I know some months can be rough especially in south Florida. please help! thank you so much. love the pruning video too.
Hello Nancy, You may apply 'Osmocote Indoor & Outdoor' its a great fertilizer that sugar apples respond well too. Fertilizer is best applied to sugar apples in early spring time just as they are starting to wake up from dormancy as they are pushing fresh green buds as thats when they are hungry and want a boost of nutrience for the spring & summer growing season. Sugar apples LOVE water, They are native to South America where it rains super often - dont be afraid to over water them they will appreciate it. Hope this helps Nancy.
@@gardenflorida thank you very much!
Hello, my sugar apple tree had two flowers 2 years ago and does not seems to flower again. I trim it every year. I have it in a clay container that I move indoor in winter and take out late spring because I am in zone 7 thus our last frost is in early to mid May. I purchased the tree since 2018. Please advise
You need to manually strip its leaves , about 25% of leaves towards the tips of the branches to invigorate flower growth.
Do you dry the seeds before planting them, or do you plant them right after taking them from the fruit? Thanks.
I plant mine rite away had good luck this way
How long does a sugar apple tree tak eto mature. I have one in a large pot. I only transplanted it 3 months ago. It has just one main branch and its floweing like crazy. what to do? I am goingto remove flowers as the tree is way too young. please advise. thx
Sugar apples take about 3 - 4 years to fully mature. It is good that you will remove the flowers because if the tree is very young it is better to focus energy towards green vegetative growth of the sugar apple tree.
is pollination compulsory for sugar apple plant ? each and ever flower also to be pollinated ?
Some sugar apple varieties can pollinate on their own. 'Na Dai' Vietnamese is a good one that pollinates on its own.
My tree has been dormant for about 3 months now. It’s still green around the bark & branches but no leaves. Any suggestions???
It could be to many reasons such as sun exposure, nutrients etc. but if no leaves it could be lacking nitrogen in the soil. I would suggest feeding it with a natural fertilizer or a slow release fertilizer that has micronutrients
I cut off the top half of my sugar apple and cut off about six inches on all other branches several weeks ago. It now has new leaves. When can I expect flowers if it will flower (one or two year old seedling)? Thanks
Can take up to 45 days from cutting
@@2tall4youtube thank you :)
Your sugar apple should flower within a month to a month in a half. But also flowering is also encouraged by adding micronutrients to the sugar apple as well.
Can you recommend a fertilizer for sugar apples?
Osmocote 15-9-12
Can we prune sugar apple in September, we in Central Florida ?
September might be a little late but you may be able to extend your season. I would test it out if I was you and see if you have a extra plant around sugar apple.
I fertilize mine with fish emulsion
Love you oassuon send me a few seeds bro
Thanks bro I have one flowe s an no more
