I would think you could do some minor pruning without fruit dropping. It seems to have worked for me. I even took off several big branches.
I have been selling scions off atemoyas and sugar apples with fruit and it hasn't causedany fruit drop. I am in Florida and the fruit is further along though. Also all my annonasgo dormant when the days get short enough. The dormant period is not triggered bycool weather. I don't expect my trees that I trimmed will grow much till next Spring?I was waiting to see if I would get a late flush or not until next Spring. When I did take scionsI made sure I didn't take the scions with leaves shading developing fruit
