Hello Tony
It is so nice to see people posting from other parts of the world, we can learn lots from you at times. They sure are nice looking fruit you have there, my tree is only young and not to the fruiting stage yet, however, it does have those brown edges to the leaves like yours. I'm blaming it on our winter.
Truthfully, had I known these had to be hand pollinated I would have had second thoughts. I was hoping for the type our commercial growers plant, obviously not these because I'm sure they wouldn't be running around pollinating their orchids.
Regards

Cherimoyas have a far superior balance of flavours to Atemoyas (Commercial custard apples) and
the effort involved in Hand poll. IMO is worth the effort if fruit is not being set naturally.
However if you do want to leave it to nature, Beetles in the order Nitidulidae are known to be pollinators of Annonaceous tree species.
Dried fruit beetles (Carpophilus spp.) are distributed worldwide and can be attraced to Annona trees by dumping fruit beneath them.
http://www.ecosystemservicesproject.org/html/publications/docs/facts/custard_apple.pdf
Here's a paper on importance of Carpophilus as a pest in stone fruit, so something
to bear in mind if in vicinity of commercial orchards.
http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/EA02133.htm
Personally I can forgive a bit of marking on stonefruit in a home orchard if i can get
these guys to pollinate a cherimoya for me.

Hi Speedy,
I agree regarding the balance of flavour with the chirmoya. Id say it would be up there with the best tasting fruit ive ever eaten - and they are pretty easy to grow!

Hello Wayne and everybody,
You are absolutely right, it's nice to hear and share all our experiences from diff.part of the globe. My (2) cherimoya trees is 3.5 years old and the other one is 3.I was so excited to see lots of flowers just see them turn brown after three days, so that year I only have one pollinated by accident and that's the picture above. The folowing year I Google it " How to pollinate Cherimoya Tree" and that's when I learn to hand pollinate. As I mention above I have 37 confirm fruits and some more flowers maybe i have to stop because the branches are still too small to handle the weight. I will post some pictures once the fruits are big enough to see. Here in San Diego Cherimoya fruits are abundant in the Asian Market price range from $3.99/lb. to $4.99.

Hi Dharmik, it's nine to hear from you,actually I'am originally from the Philippines and the variety we grow there is what we call locally as Atis or sugar apple w/c iam sure it's the same variety you grow there in India, what's so amazing is that I leave now here in San Diego, California and Cherimoya tree grows really well. I planted some sugar apple seeds and they don't survive in the cold weather eventhough we don't get snow here. Right now I have two cherimoya trees (6-7 years old ) with over 100 nice fruits on it. Anyway to answer your question " (i'am a rookie just like you)if cherimoya would grow were you leave" maybe ask a professional gardener in your area. good luck.
