They are not in season yet.  California annona season is only during late winter or spring spring.  Mainly spring.  Florida and Hawaiia has 2 season.  California has one--spring.  U may not see fresh local grown until spring.  Ong nursery actually have an annona farm in Temecula and he sales it wholesale.  I don't know if u can actually buy from them.  Right now is wax apple season so u may be apple to find some in the specialty market or try asking ong nursery for sample.  Some one actually gave me these wax apple today.  Yummy!!!

I haven't seen any for sale yet in the San Diego area.  I have been looking in Vietnamese markets and Mexican produce stores.  I thought they may import some from Florida or Mexico, but no luck yet.

Ong's farm is actually in Fallbrook according to my source his trees were fried a few winters back....mostly atemoyas

I have not seen fruit bearing sugar apple trees at Ong's nursery. I go to the Asian grocery stores regularly
once or twice a week and in my 6+ years here, I have never seen (non frozen) sugar apple fruits for sale in any season.

My Florida bought little Na Dai SA tree is doing well but not yet bearing.

I think JF might have the fruits. Try to order fruits from him when it is in season.

no sugar apples but plenty of atemoyas and some cherimoyas hopefully for sale.I just want to make it clear no shipping anywhere. Lots of anonas from early December to February

I thought the sugar apples in Little Saigon were 'fresh' No? (maybe 'post-wash') 'Seemed like it. I have had fresh ones in Vietnam that were similar. Chris

JF always seems to have awesome looking annonas.
I have not been lucky to buy his annona fruits yet, may be someday!

Hi, OCchris1,

I have not been to Little Saigon in San Diego.
Is there a specific shop that I should check out there?

I think OCchris1 meant Little Saigon in OC.

[OCchris1]

Yes, Little Saigon in OC. We usually go to the mall on on Bolsa and Magnolia. There are a few fruit vendors there but we usually have the best luck at Trai-Cay Ngon. There are many fruit stores in Westminster/Little Saigon. If you ask them, they will tell you what season the fruit you're looking for will come in. Good luck. Chris

Thank you OCchris1, will make the drive from SD to check this out sometime.
