Arent you guys worried about the neurotoxins in Anonas? Since I read about the possible link to  parkinson's disease I was too scared to eat them.  I love sugar apple  :(

Lots of people in Asia eat anona everyday.  We don't hear people in those countries with any brain related diseases. Only US has lots of people with brain diseases. I think it's the drugs that are available in US makes cause brain diseases, not anona.

I usually eat 3 soursops fruits a day when in season in the Philippines & 1 bag of atis for 10 years (when i was there) and i guess my system is full of annonacin aka neurotoxin. But hey, im still alive & ready to eat more annonacins. :)

I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone or steal this tread. I read about the toxin thing few weeks ago and wanted to know how true it was.

No need to apologize it’s just that we’ve discuss that issue before you might want to do a forum search or start a new thread

Frank,

I still remember that jumbo geffner you sent me a few years ago. Over 2 pounds of deliciousness.  That was our dinner for that night.  You are definitely the king of annona of CA.

Giant Geffner aka Randhir is huge goes up to 4-5lb but wait until the 1-2 kilos Yucatán  saramoyos come online as good as any atemoyas or cherimoyas

Saramuyo is simply annona squamosa, right?

I have to ask, is there a reason you’re spelling it Anona instead of Annona?

JF,
How do you keep the squirrel and rats away from your annonas?
 
One freak'n squirrel was dancing around my trees. I tried to beat it with a broomstick, in the process of chasing the dame thing, it picked one of my larger cherimoya right in front of my eye while it was jumping around, then took off with it.

So far, I lost about 10 cherimoyas .

I have a feral cat and use one bite that keeps them at bay but new ones pop up with mango and guava season underway
