Sugar apple flowers | Sweetsop flowers - A closer look (Annona squamosa)

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.

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 💚

Hello, how many times do you water the trees and when do you fertilize it?

@tillytexdard4263 2 жыл бұрын

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)

What fertilizer do you use and how often do you apply??

@jjj-iz6pp Ай бұрын

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?

Do you strip all the leaves of the sugar apple tree in spring or just a few old leaves?

Good info. Is there a specific season/size/age that is best to prune the sugar apple?

@gardenflorida 3 жыл бұрын

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.

Hello i have sugar apple. But I don't know why they turn yellow leaf and do you know why ? Thanks

@gardenflorida 3 жыл бұрын

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.

What if you crossed a Gaffener Atemoya and a Green Sugar Apple?

@gardenflorida 3 жыл бұрын

I believe it will result in a atemoya that resembles more of a sugar apple.

Do you hand pollinate your sugar apples?

@gardenflorida 3 жыл бұрын

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.
