Taiwan Atemoya Fruit Split

[fruitnursery]

Hi,

Any ideas how solve the fruit split problem with Taiwan Atemoya, Geffner and African Pride?  Place is very dry and tropical hot climate.

Berns, add potassium (0-0-50 or equivalent high dosage) to your Atemoyas for fruit splitting.

Do you water your trees? How much water/rain do the get?

If you're asking me We get winter rain here and we have to cover the ground under lychee longan pummelo to keep them from growing or fruits split. Never had this problem with cherimoya, only atemoya.

I cant help you much, but it wont be from over watering on Taiwan variety.  we get huge amount of rain in Annona areas, doesnt cause much split (unless fruits are not bagged from physical hitting of hard rain), just notice yhou are south of Taiwan so maybe similar climate.
