Description
The Soursop Tree (Annona muricata) is a lush, tropical fruit tree prized for its large, heart-shaped leaves and its uniquely delicious fruit. Native to the warm climates of the tropics, the Soursop is a wonderful addition to any edible garden or tropical landscape. Whether you're looking to start a home orchard or simply enjoy the beauty of tropical foliage, the Soursop offers both visual appeal and culinary reward.
This 16–20 inch tall seedling arrives in a 1 gallon pot, ideal for transplanting into a larger container or directly into the ground. As it matures, the Soursop tree can grow into a small to medium-sized tree with a broad canopy, producing fragrant, green, spiky fruits that are highly sought after for their creamy texture and sweet-tart flavor.
The fruit of the Soursop has a flavor often compared to a blend of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus, with subtle creamy notes reminiscent of banana or coconut. It’s a popular ingredient in smoothies, sorbets, juices, and traditional Caribbean desserts. The tree typically bears fruit within 3–5 years under optimal conditions.
Important: Only the white pulp of the fully ripe fruit should be consumed. Avoid the seeds, as they are not edible and should be discarded before use.
