- Hello everyone, in today's video we are taking a closer look at one of my favorite fruiting flowers - the sugar apple flower (Annona squamosa).
Sugar apple flowers appear on the sugar apple tree typically on new growth (so after you prune your tree). The flower has 3 pedals (sometimes 4) and first appears on your tree in the 'female' stage. Roughly 24 hours later the 'female' sugar apple flowers turn into a 'male'.
During the sugar apple flower transition from female to male, its sexual reproduction parts dry up (female) and also produce pollen (male).
If your sugar apple tree has no flowers you may create flowers by removing leaves from the tree. By removing leaves you invigorate the sugar apple flowers to re-appear.
Sugar apple flowers at times when first producing may turn black and fall off - this is normal as the sugar apple tree is preparing itself to go through its natural bloom cycle.

Me encantó el contenido.
Thanks for sharing
You are very welcome! Thanks for the support.
Congratulations! My sugar apple tree already has several fruits. I'm in Miami. 💚🌺💚
In the future my dream is to buy a farm out in homestead! I love how all your fruit trees always produce so much faster and abundant than us up north, but regardless I love driving to Miami and eating all the fruits. I was in Kendall area visiting my cousins last week I ate so many pounds of lychee 💚
Beautiful
Thank you.
Have you made a video detailing the hand-pollination process? I have to pollinate my Pitaya and Passionfruit, but those flowers are much larger and the pollen is much easier to access. I just found out that I have to pollinate my Sugar Apple & Soursop, but not having any success at collecting pollen, most likely due to lack of knowledge & experience. If you have made a video on this, or know of a good one, a link would be very much appreciated. (I am in Bradenton as well)
Bruh you're video and garden is 🔥🔥🔥! Do you sell any of the small plants you got growing?
Hi Johnny! Thanks for your comment on my garden you need to visit it one day. Yes I have some small sugar apple plants and cherimoya and soursop available.
Hello, how many times do you water the trees and when do you fertilize it?
What fertilizer do you use and how often do you apply??
Thank you so much. I learned a lot from your teaching.
I was such a dummy, I thought the brown flowers was a dead flowering.🤦♀️ I went and removed them from my sugar apple tree.😭😭😭
😁
Do you strip all the leaves of the sugar apple tree in spring or just a few old leaves?
If we hand pollinate it, do I need to do it every female flower?
Good info. Is there a specific season/size/age that is best to prune the sugar apple?
I would let the sugar apple grow wild for its first few years before you start majorly pruning branches off. At the end of the sugar apple season you may prune selected limbs and branches to strengthen the caliber of the trunk to make it more thick and bear bigger sugar apples.
So once you pollinate the female flower . Does the female flower still turn into a male flower when fully open and can I still collect pollen from it?
Which fertilizer is best for suger apple
I bought three sugar apple trees. Two tress leaves are stiff than other one tree's leaves, which. I know is sugar apple. Do sugar apple have stiff leaves ?
Hi! How much do you sell your grafted sugar apple tree for? I live in California.
How do you pollinate the flowers?
My trees are loaded with new growth but so far no flowers. It is April 16th
Hello i have sugar apple. But I don't know why they turn yellow leaf and do you know why ? Thanks
Leaves drop is normal, it’s to make room for new growth. Sugar apple is also deciduous in Florida and in California meaning they will drop their leaves when the cold weather come (December) and regrow leaves in early March / early spring time.
Is it atis?
Sugar apple so awesome, in my place the baby fruit always turn black and die , not sure why
Sometimes this can happen with sugar apples.
I was about to set 3 fruit but they fell off any advise to keep them from falling ?
Your sugar apple tree may need more phosphorus
What if you crossed a Gaffener Atemoya and a Green Sugar Apple?
I believe it will result in a atemoya that resembles more of a sugar apple.
Do you hand pollinate your sugar apples?
I do, but this year I am letting my trees grow more vegetatively. So if some do grow it will be because of it naturally set. Although I am hand pollinating my cherilata tree bud my sugar apples I am letting grow as well as my Atemoya. Also with custard apple I will be hand pollinating.
Hi! Do you have any grafted dwarf sugar apple tree to send to California?
I have smaller sugar apple trees that are flowering and fruiting but I am out of town for 2 weeks in Colombia.
@@gardenflorida that’s awesome! How much do you sell it for? I’m in no hurry. Asa it arrived healthy. I’m leaving to Mexico for 1 week so it’s perfect timing.
