Interesting Notes:
Did you know the Soursop is beetle-pollinated? Don't stress too much, but if fruit set is low, a quick tickle with a soft brush between the morning (pollen release) and afternoon flowers can help things along. The fruit is packed with antioxidants and Vitamin C, but remember the seeds are not for eating. Leaves may provide anticancer properties as a tea.
This grafted Soursop is a favourite in food forests and tropical gardens, guaranteeing you a reliable, tasty harvest far sooner than the rest.
