The fruit of the soursop has a spiny outer skin with a soft, heavily seed-laden pulped interior. Each of these cauliflorous fruit may attain over a foot in length and, when ripe, the soft pulp is used in ice creams and sherbets.
Variety:
- Sirsak Ratu (Zones 9-11)
Care Instructions
Plant soursop in a sunny location with well-drained, sandy soil with a pH of 5-6.5. Soursop trees should be irrigated regularly to prevent stress. When the weather turns cool in the winter, reduce water intake.
