In Florida the Annonas shut down when the daylight gets short. You can really shape the
tree how you want it to be. You could make it more of a tree or a bush. I would wait until Spring to
prune because the tree will shut down soon. Look at some pictures and decide what type of tree you want.
If you want a bushy low tree cut half of it off if you want a tree then strip some lower leaves off and tip it in the
Spring and it will grow some lateral branches. It will also depend where the tree will end up. I have seen
atemoyas that are  wide or wider then tall which I like.
