My Edibles: Cherimoya Trees SA

Cherimoya - White ^7/10

Comments: -

This tree is going to be big!! Oops may have planted it too close to the house. I am pruning it like mad, lol. Nice smelling flowers but how do I pollinate it?

Planted: 2009

Height 2 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Spring

Pollination: Self Pollination

Question:

Help! This tree flowers well, but how do I pollinate it? Many attempts have failed! I used a small paintbrush and poked it up into the flower to try to get some pollen and then followed by putting it into the flower at female stage. How much pollen do I need? How do I know if any has stuck?
