I was just wondering if anyone had experience with hand pollination in general? Experience with the Atemoya tree would be an unexpected bonus..
I've read that I should hand pollinate in order to set a good crop on my 'Lisa' Atemoya tree. I can't find good info to my specific cultivar, but most Atemoyas do better with hand pollination. So, any of you have any tips?

Yes, I found that and lots of other info. I even have one that recommends taking a camel hair brush and scraping the pollen into a container with talcom powder...then applying when flower is in female stage..?
Do you have any experience hand pollinating another type of plant?
oh, and we learn something new every day!
Here's another excellent fruit tree that isn't such a shy bearer: The Jaboticaba.
