Soursop, Guanabana Grafted Fruit Tree: Exotic Delights Await You!
The Soursop tree, also called Guanabana, is a tropical evergreen native to the Caribbean and Central America. A cousin of the cherimoya, it’s prized for its creamy, sweet-tart fruit and compact size, perfect for Florida backyards and other subtropical gardens.
This tree typically grows 10–20 feet tall, making it ideal for small spaces or container growing. Despite its size, it produces large, spiky green fruits with soft white pulp that tastes like a mix of strawberry, pineapple, and coconut. It’s a favorite in smoothies, desserts, and wellness recipes, thanks to its high vitamin C content and natural health benefits.
The tree itself features glossy green leaves and small, fragrant yellow flowers that attract pollinators. Grafted Soursop trees, like the Miami variety, are especially productive and quick to fruit, often within 2–3 years of planting.
Growing Tips
The Miami Soursop thrives in full sun, well-draining soil, and warm, humid weather. It prefers slightly acidic soil but is adaptable to various conditions. Regular watering is important for young trees, though mature ones can handle short dry spells.
Fertilize every 6–8 weeks with a balanced fruit tree formula to support healthy growth and higher yields. Prune lightly in spring or summer to maintain shape and encourage fruit production.
This tree is generally low-maintenance but can face issues like fruit flies and root rot if neglected. Monitor for pests and avoid overwatering to keep it healthy.
