Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun—6 to 8 hours daily. Plant in a bright, warm location for the best growth and fruit production.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Soursop trees are not drought-tolerant and may drop leaves if allowed to dry out.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy or sandy soil, slightly acidic to neutral. Add compost or organic matter to enhance fertility.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced organic fertilizer 3–4 times a year. Supplement with micronutrients like magnesium and iron for strong foliage and fruit quality.

• Growth Habit: Broad-leaved, tropical evergreen tree. In a 7-gallon pot, trees are usually 3–5 feet tall and will grow 15–30 feet tall and wide in the ground.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 10–11. Sensitive to cold—protect from temperatures below 40°F. Best suited for protected spots or container growing in colder microclimates.

• Maintenance: Moderate. Prune lightly to shape and manage airflow. Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Fruit Notes: Produces large, heart-shaped fruit with soft spines. Flesh is white, creamy, aromatic, and loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. Harvested when slightly soft to the touch—typically ripens summer through early fall.
