- Fruit: The most notable feature of the soursop tree is its fruit, which is large, heart-shaped, and covered with a spiky green skin. The fruit can weigh anywhere between 1 to 5 kilograms and can reach lengths of up to 30 centimeters. When ripe, the skin may turn slightly yellowish-green and become softer to the touch.
- Flavor and Aroma: The soursop fruit is renowned for its unique taste and aroma. The flesh is creamy white and juicy, with a sweet and tangy flavor that is often described as a combination of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus. Some people also detect subtle hints of coconut and banana in its taste.
- Uses: Soursop fruit is primarily consumed fresh, either by scooping out the flesh or by blending it into refreshing drinks, smoothies, ice creams, or sorbets. The pulp can be quite fibrous and contains numerous small, black seeds that are not typically eaten.
Properties & Care
How to take care of a soursop tree?
The soursop tree is a medium-sized tree that can grow up to 10 meters tall, although some specimens can reach even greater heights. It has a relatively short trunk with a dense, spreading canopy of large, glossy, dark green leaves.
- Soil and location: Choose a location that receives full sunlight for most of the day. Soursop trees prefer well-drained soil. If grown in a pot, use a pot with drainaige holes.
- Watering: Soursop trees require regular watering, especially during the dry season. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Water when the top layer of soil has dried out.
- Fertilization: Soursop trees benefit from regular fertilization to promote healthy growth and fruit production. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for fruit trees, following the instructions on the product label.
- Pruning: Pruning is essential for shaping the tree, maintaining its size, and promoting good air circulation. Prune away any dead, damaged, or diseased branches throughout the year. Thin out crowded branches to allow sunlight penetration and improve fruit production. Pruning can be done during the dormant season or after harvesting.
- Pest and Disease Control: Monitor the tree regularly for pests and diseases. Common pests that can affect soursop trees include aphids, mealybugs, and fruit flies. If infestations occur, use appropriate insecticides or organic pest control methods to manage them. Certain diseases, such as fungal leaf spot or powdery mildew, may require fungicidal treatments.
- Protection from Frost and Wind: Soursop trees are sensitive to frost and strong winds. If you live in a region with cold winters (below 5 degrees Celsius in winter) you will have to grow it in a pot and keep it indoors or in a greenhouse in winter.
- Harvesting: Soursop fruits are typically harvested when they are fully ripe, which is indicated by a slight yellowing of the skin and a slightly soft texture when gently pressed. Carefully cut or twist the fruit off the tree to avoid damaging the stem or nearby branches. Handle the fruits with care, as they can bruise easily.
