You don't have to bag soursops...the annona seed borers do not bother soursops.
Sadly both Kent Vinzant and Frankie's don't sell atemoya or Rollinia I guess I'll try from seed... and invest in some bags
Apresser,What cultivar atemoyas do you have and where did youbuy them? Also, what kind of bags do you use...paper or netting?At what size and age of the the fruit do you need to bag?Thanks

I got these Scions from Oscar maybe 4 -5 years ago. I got some fine netting type bags from ebay (china) that seem to work fine as long as I bag the Atemoyas when they are pretty small (the size of a walnut with the shell on). Here is the link to the bags I use. https://goo.gl/Pu3FPPRollinia fruits well up here in Haleiwa, no problems with insects. Have a lot of other different varieties of Annona that are still young and have not fruited...so will have to wait and see what is tolerant of the borer beetle and wasp and what is not.
