soursop
Soursop, related to the cherimoya, is a mid-sized tree reaching about 25 feet tall. It is best propagated from seed which will germinate in 15-30 days. The fruit, which can weigh up to 10 or 15 lbs, is often used in making sherbets and other drinks.
The tree grows rapidly and begins to bear in 3 to 5 years. Unfortunately, a normal crop for young trees is only 12 to 24 fruit per tree. When producing fruit, this tree is particular about its environment. It has been observed in tropical countries that soursop trees grown in very humid areas often grow well but bear only a few fruit, usually of poor quality. Most of their flowers and young fruit fall because of a fungus called anthracnose, which does exists in Hawai`i. In Puerto Rico, the tree is said to prefer an altitude between 800 and 1,000 ft with moderate humidity.

soursop flavor
The soursop fruit has a delicate flavor somewhere between sweet and tart. Similar to a blended flavor of apple with a hint of strawberry or pineapple depending on the ripeness. The green, gently spiky skin is relatively thin and easy to cut through.
