N2  - Pollination studies in Annona were conducted during 2007 & 2008 seasons in the Horticulture Research Institute. Pollen grains of Balady sp.. Abd EIRazik and Finny cultivars were used to introduce different combinations of hybridization. Testing of pollen fertility revealed that Balady sp. has the highest percentage of fertile pollen. Moreover, using of Balady as a pollen parent had almost increased the initial percent of setting and fruiting of Abd EIRazik and Finny cultivars. Although the source of pollen parent affected both fruit length and fruit diameter, no clear trend could be observed during the two studied seasons. However, using of Balady pollen produced the best fruits with respect to fruit and pulp weight. However, the fruit contained the highest number of seeds. Concerning the T.S.S/acidity ratio, fruits resulted from using Abd ElRazik pollen parent revealed the highest ratio with all of the studied cultivars
