This 10yrs seedling has pretty good fruits. Each fruits should be protected from squirrel/rats.  I accidentally knocked off two small fruits during the process. 

does soursop need defoliation like cherimoya?

I bought some giant cherimoyas variety of seed from Raulglezruiz.  I think he said 3kilo is the size of the fruit. We'll see in a few years if the seedling will produce 3kilo fruit.

I saw my neighbor's cat this morning in the backyard, a couple hours later, I found a big giant rat dead  next to the mango tree.  Maybe it's the cat's present for me for new year present.  Not sure if it's the my dog or the cat killed it.

was out at 6am this morning in the backyard to burn some woods to keep it warm, and I saw frost on the cushion seat that's out in the open.

is it going to make it?

Joe is right about cherimoya in nortern CA bay area.  They love the climates here.  I have about 30+ seedlings ranging from 4-10yrs.  14 of the trees are fruiting now. Other than some having too many seed(maybe I overdid it on hand polination), the taste and texture of the fruits are excellent, sweet with some acidity, and strong flavor.  One of the trees that fruited this year(planted seed in 2012, seed from taiwanese friend), I picked one off the tree to give to my mother, she called me last night and said it's the best out of the bunch.  Not too much seeds, and the inside is sectional,chewy, a bit like sugar apple, but not graining.  I have a few more fruits on that tree, will try to take picture next time of the fruit and taste it myself, provided that the squirrels and rats don't beat me to it.

wow, you harvest your guava already?  Mine are the size of golf balls right now.
