Tropical Fruit Discussion / Annona Squamosa Sugar Apple are A and B types
« on: May 18, 2023, 02:30:23 PM »
Let me explain. Since I have been planting Annona's in the last 2 years, I find that Some Sugar Apple trees, seedlings, not many maybe 10% of them are more inclined to have male flowers in the morning that others. I have about 10 seedlings sugar apple trees. One very distinctly is loaded with male flowers in the morning also has female flowers and as result sets more fruit. Also pollinates the Gefner real well. I wonder if this is just a fluke or other people have notice this.
Why this is important because most of my activity is in the morning, and I need male pollen to pollinate some of the other Annona's that I never see male flowers open in the morning. For example, I have not seen a Gefner male flower before 2pm but I use the pollen from the Sugar Apple tree to pollinate it.
