Do you know any small fast fruiting annonas, I am looking for some for a greenhouse.

Great timing for this post
I have wanted to ask the forum about their experience germinating sugar apple seeds.
Earlier this year I received 10 Big Red Seeds in trade for 10 Na Dai seeds,  The member told me to
put them between damp paper towels and put in a baggie. After 4 days one germinated and within
2 weeks all 10 seeds had germinated and had emerged from the soil. I had gotten 25+ seeds from a
local fruit and tried to germinate them the same way. They took a little longer but within 4-6 seeks they
all germinated, Then I got the indigo seeds and 2 out of 7 germinated and the VSA I got 1 out of 8 to
germinate, and I tried to germinate a different red type and 1 out of 5 germinated but then 3 more germinated
after several months 4 out of 5 I can live with, I also had 0 out of 3 germinate out of a super large one?
I was thinking maybe it is later in the year but I tried to germinate 10 seeds from a Na Dai I produced and within 2 weeks
all the seeds germinated. All I can say is the seeds are still in damp paper towels and I keep checking them.
I am wondering why some seeds were so easy. I was under the impression all the seeds were fresh?

I bought 25 seeds of sugar apple last year from india and 25 from thailand on Etsy. I do not know their variety but they were not red type. I used scarification and soaking 3 day method and then planted them in peat moss. The success of germination for seeds from India  and Thailand  were same about 80 percent. They germinated between 5 to 12 days. Also tried damp paper method with result of late germination compare to previous method about two to three weeks with success rate of 75 percent. Unfortunately, none of my seedling survived due to my mistake of keeping them in garage with very less sunlight and damping off.
