LATIN NAME: Annona muricata
Soursop, also known as Guanabana, is a tropical evergreen fruit tree prized for its large, distinctive green fruit covered with soft spines. Inside, the fruit has creamy white flesh with a sweet-tart tropical flavor often described as a combination of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus.
The aromatic fruit is commonly enjoyed fresh and is also popular for making juices, smoothies, desserts, and frozen treats. With its glossy green foliage and unusual fruit, Soursop makes an attractive addition to tropical landscapes and edible gardens in warm climates.
Amount of Sunlight: Prefers full sun for the best growth, flowering, and fruit production.
Amount of Water: Water regularly, especially while the tree is becoming established and during periods of hot, dry weather. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Soil Conditions: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil and performs best in slightly acidic to neutral conditions.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 10–11
Soursop thrives in warm, humid, tropical to subtropical conditions and should be protected from cold temperatures and frost. Young trees benefit from consistent watering while developing a strong root system, while established trees can tolerate short periods of dryness.
Applying mulch around the root zone helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Light pruning can be performed to maintain a manageable shape, remove damaged branches, and improve airflow through the canopy. Because Soursop is sensitive to cold, planting it in a warm, protected location is especially important in areas that occasionally experience cooler winter temperatures.
