How I Prune My Atemoya Trees - African Pride - Geffner - Lindstrom 

You’re welcome. I’ll post updates throughout the season so you’ll get to see the entire process.

Nice! Try growing atemoyas; taste and texture are superior to cherimoyas in my opinion. Should do well in your region; it’s almost always grafted on a cherimoya rootstock.

@thenoobgardener nice, I'll keep my eyes open for that variety. This trees I got from an old coworker it was from seed. I really like the flavor they put out. He would bring some to work to share.

@@GreenMonsterDee420 there are many atemoya varieties just like the cherimoya. Try the African Pride as your first atemoya variety.

Mine never bear bear fruit got 3 trees

Wait until next year. The plant might shock and die if you do it now. Give it sometime to acclimate first after transplanting. They don’t grow that fast the first couple of years, so I wouldn’t be too worried about it.

Yes it will. With that said, the flowers need to be pollinated somehow to set fruits. So you’d be relying to insects to pollinate and that is not always guaranteed.

Mid March. Right before it comes out of dormancy.

I have had people telling me one week in the fridge. My friend’s dad does it and it works for him. However, for me, when I first started out with little flowers like you are now, it never worked for me even after one day. Also, my Lindstrom’s pollen doesn’t work, even fresh. I use my African pride’s pollen to pollinate all my trees. The flower is big and generous with the amount of pollen.

@@thenoobgardener Thank you. Guess I should add AP to the collection.

Look for the color on the shin to change. Geffner = the skin turns yellow/green and the fruit looks stretched and the pointy scales look fat/stretched. AP = the color is not as yellow as the geffner, the skin is smoother and there is somewhat a shine on the skin.

Atemoyas. A cross between a cherimoya and sugar apple.

@@thenoobgardener nice sounds good

Yes

Yes, I’m trying to contain my tree and the fruits are quite heavy for the smaller branches. With my small trees I was able to get 25+ fruits per tree this past season.
