Welcome to my channel, Our Tropical Soil, where you can learn how to grow food in the tropics!
A couple of years ago my father planted a young soursop tree. We patiently waited for it to grow, flower and fruit. During that time I remember listening to my parents reminisce about how delicious soursop was. They grew up eating the fruit regularly in Cuba. Soursops can be very expensive so we never purchased one. Due to this I was never able to try a soursop until we harvested our first fruit from our tree. When I finally tasted it the soursop quickly became one of my favorite fruits. It is creamy, sweet, sour, juicy, and very refreshing. We are so grateful that our tree was finally able to bear a good crop of fruit. We even had enough to share and freeze some for later use. Through our experience I have learned a few things about soursop that I wanted to share with you today in this video.

Wow, great video! I'm in Ft Myers and have a graviola tree in my back yard, now in the middle of June it is BURSTING with graviola all over! It's about 5 yrs old, I think, Hurricane Irma bent it over at a 45 deg angle. But I straightened it, braced it, and it has now come back with a vengeance! I am not a gardener, if I have to "care" for and tend a plant, it usually dies, lol. But I basically do nothing to this tree, and it is flourishing! Sandy soil, full sun, I think I watered it maybe twice through our dry winter, never even fertilized it this year, but it doesn't care, it's loaded with fruit!! So thank you for your video, now I know I can freeze the pulp, that is great to know! Oh, my gf lives in Ecuador most of the year, that is how I first learned about graviola, they are all over down there, in every market, wherever fruit are sold. Thanks again!
Wow this is great to hear. I am glad your tree is thriving on neglect. They topple over easily, which is unfortunate, but my tree just keeps on growing and growing. It is huge already.
also very educational appreciate that
Good video about soursop. I'm in Miami too and i'm also growing this fruit tree. The only thing you forgot to mention is that it's very high in antioxidants and is said to be the number one cancer fighting food. The leaves are also medicinal and can be used to make tea.
Thank you for watching and for all the good info. I haven't used the leaves to make tea yet but I have heard good things about it.
When you use the leaves to make tea should they be dried or freshly green?
@@mariafelix4047 You can use green or dry leaves but i've found that green leaves need to be boiled and soaked for a longer time.. I usually pick the leaves and put then in a brown paper bag for a few days and then boil.
Yup!😅 I'm going to follow your channel as well. I knew this. I just have a hard time finding this fruit at my Asian and Latino markets.
YOURE SO BLESSED TO BE IN THAT CLIMATE THAT PLANT IS PERFECT
One more thing, you mentioned branches breaking. The other day I went out to check on it, and one fairly small branch had something like 7 graviola clustered on it. That weight was just too much for the branch, it broke, I found it on the ground! The graviola are fine though, kind of small, but they are starting to soften already, I sense graviola smoothies coming soon! :D
Yes the fruit can get so big and heavy. The thinner branches will definitely break under the weight. Soursop smoothies! Delicious :)
I’m in Miami and my tree is blooming and I’m praying 🙏 for a good crop, my first time growing this tree, and thank you for your information ❤
I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us
I eat mine with kefir . it's a super health bomb ! and tastes amazing. must try folks !
This video is very helpful! 😍 I am selling this fruit during this pandemic. Planned to gather some information on how to ripen it and yet you definitely covered everything from harvesting up to the way we should store it after opening. 😊 Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
How is the selling of this fruit going?
Very thorough hands on job. THANK YOU.
So here’s the scoop for me I’ve purchased Soursop fruit from Chicago at a Whole Foods market we didn’t have it at the whole foods in Ohio. I’ve brought the fruit back to Ohio where I live and I consumed it and saved the seeds. Planted the seeds the same year in the late summer of 2019 by October they germinated and sprouted. I’ve had over 20 trees of course I wasn’t expecting this and I was new to this so I’ve brought a grow light and kept them in doors for the upcoming winter. They seemed to do very well but some of them were yellowing I’ve lost a few but kept doing my best to raise them. I would say this tho they grow at a slow rate probably due to the environment they are in. By the spring of 2020 I’ve put them back outside and they seem to do best by this time I realized my routine on how to care for them at the end of summer 2020 I put them back in the house. A few didn’t make it throughout the time of seed to this point but for the ones that did they were doing fine. By the spring of 2021 I now have 15 healthy plants averaging a height between 10-15 inches. My goal is to educate those about the fruit that is good for your health and either sell or give to a good home. If interested in purchasing some please contact cheflarren@gmail.com I still have all 15 plants and I plan on keeping about 3 I’m patiently waiting for the day they bare fruit. Til this day and time I have 3 outside in a green house I’ve built for them hoping that they will survive the winter and be successful growing in Ohio. Let this journey begin.
Climate , climate climate. I don't think in the north that tree will ever give a fruit worth pruning. It a tropical fruit that require humidity in the air all year and over 60 degree of air and sunlight. Maybe hydroponics but dont know anyone using that yet
The soursop needs to thrive, not just survive in order to the fruit to be high quality. I’m sorry man but you’re taking on a Herculean task, I do admire it but where I’ve seen them thrive is in Puerto Vallarta. They need that humidity and heat, which is pretty freaking far from Ohio. I’m sorry man don’t mean to be a dream crusher, but it’s been over 20 years since I’ve had a taste of soursop myself.
I just found out I have Soursop tree in my backyard in Ft Lauderdale. This video helps a lot. Thank you. Can’t wait to try it
These fruit trees struggle north or Miami or Naples on the west coast of Florida. I've found SweetSop is a more resistant to frost. Both are yummy.
Live in Port St Lucie Florida and I have 2 Soursop trees in my back yard.One is taller than the electric power line's the other is about 15 ft tall. Anyway we had one die from the cold and had it cut down. Now new branches sprouted out from around the trunk and are 10 ft tall.
The large tree is responsible for saving my neighbor's life who had pancreas cancer with 2 tumors one 7cm other 6.4 cm He drank Soursop tea and took Fenbendazole a dewormer that is known to kill cancer. Four months later his scans are showing a significant drop in size from 7cm to 3.2cm . We heard about it from the
Joe Tippens Cancer Story. Then found hundreds of other's that have benefited from this Wonderful Tree also.
Thanks so much for all of your very informative videos! I first found you when I was trying to learn about quenepas. One of my former students posted on a neighborhood app, hoping for info on where to find them for sale locally (we live in the northwest area of Florida), and she received zero replies.👎
Good luck on your continuing YT efforts. I believe you’ll have even greater success in teaching people about the many types of fruits grown in the tropics!
Gidday
I grew up in Fiji and just loved soursop . I now live in Australia and have one growing , it’s about the size of my hand and I’m sooooooo excited .
The Soursop you gave me from your tree was so delicious. Thank you so much. I now have a new favorite fruit. I lost the seeds so i was not able to try and grow them. Soursop is on the top of my future tree purchases!
I am so glad you enjoyed it and I hope you get to grow this delicious Annona!
Is this fruit better tasting than cherimoya?
AMAZING 😇👍🏾
Wow, best video found. Super detailed, loved it. Thank you, excited as my tree is finally flowering and I'm trying to pollinate it by hand. I see yours also has the black areas on the fruit, should the be a concern as it attracts ants?
Very good and informative video.
Thank you, I am glad it was helpful!
During my childhood I was lucky enough to grow up with a guanabana orchard surrounding my parents property. Just blending it with some water to make a fruit drink is enough to quench the meanest thirst, last I tried some over 20 years ago since I moved up North. Didn’t realize how much I missed the taste til now! 😂
Thank you for showing the two-forks method. I’ll try it tomorrow.
I hope it works for you :)
one of my favs
I can tell from the vocab you use and just your energy that you are passionate about your farming, it’s nice to see. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion. 🍃
My absolute favorite fruit. Mostly had it juiced in Colombia.
Delicious!
Thank you for teaching about this wonderful plant
It’s great when combined with sea moss
This was so informative.
Thank you! I am glad you thought so :)
What a great video!
I would love to have this fruit in my yard!!!
Varry varry beutiful
You
And fruit
Very good explanation ...🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can tell that there is no damage at all inside the fruit. It is loaded with health benefits.
Yes it is!
Had a drink called Mogu Mogu that was soursop flavored. It’s our favorite. Thanks for your video I learned a lot. We will never grow one in Minnesota. Now we know what to look for in our local stores to try something new.
Nice in Cuba they make a drink with soursop called champola. I am glad you liked the video :)
Great video, very informative. Perfect for a beginner who basically knew nothing about this fruit.
Glad it was helpful!
About to try my first, fresh from FL! ☀️
Love your content! keep it up giirl
Thank you so much!!
Great channel 🙏💯💯
nice informative
Hunker down! Stay safe! Great video!
Thank you! We are staying safe over here.
lol
Hope it tastes better then it looks..
WoW your soursop tree is amazingly! How about more videos on this gorgeous tree? I have one in a pot in the Tampa area that we harvest the leaves for tea but it has never produced fruit 🤷♀️
Thank you! What kind of videos would you want to see on the soursop? From what I have learned it seems that only a few fruit trees do well in pots. Most will grow but they will never reach production. However, I think its way to cold to plant soursop in the ground in Tampa without some cold protection in the winter.
Our Tropical Soil, maybe you could do a video showing how you harvest, dry and store the soursop leaves for tea. Also maybe a video on how to make and enjoy soursop tea and any other uses and recipes you know of for the leaves or fruit. The leaves are so fragrant I wish I could figure out a way to use the leaves as popppouri. What time of year does the tree produce fruit and can I find the whole fruit in any grocery stores? Thanks so much.
Thank you for all the different ideas! I will look into making some videos about those topics. However, I am not too familiar with using soursop leaves. Soursops produce fruit year round with some months having more fruits than others. It seems that the main crop comes in the summer. I have seen soursops sold in Whole Foods before but they weren't of the best quality. Look up Miami Fruit. They are a company that sells tropical fruit and you can probably find better quality soursop from them.
Our Tropical Soil, thanks! I will check out Miami Fruit through my local Publix & Whole Foods. I was told by someone else that they can be found at Asian markets too but so far I haven’t had any luck there either. Looking forward to more soursop videos.
Yes Asian stores are also a good option. Just keep your eye open for them. Miami Fruit is actually only available online and locally in Miami farmers markets. You can message them on Instagram to get more information.
Great video!!
Cool look good to eat
Wow!!!!! You really have healthy soursoup fruits. It's my favorite. I also have soursoup plant planted in pot. I want to transfer it in the ground but worried that it will die in winter time. Do you cover your tree in wintertime?
Thank you! We do not cover our tree. Our large fruiting tree is in between two houses and I think that protects it a bit from the cold weather. However, in the winter the tree will lose its leaves even if it is low 50s one night. Temperatures into the 30s and 40s can cause some dieback. However, the tree recovers and then fruits. We have two young trees that are planted in a windier area with a lot less protection. These trees do have more dieback and leaf drop with cold weather, but they are still doing okay during the summer months. We are in zone 10b. I hope this helped. I think covered the tree while it is young on cold nights is ideal, which would be anything 50 or below. Then as the tree gets older it can take a bit more cold damage and recover.
I live in Fort Worth Texas and just bought a soursop plant. The farmers market seller told me to bring it indoors during the winter but I was wondering how I could keep it outside and prevent it from dying. I have house cats and don't want to bring in items that can make them sick or that they will chew up and ruin. I was wanting to know if it could be covered and protected outdoors.
What type of soil does the tree require, I have sandy soil used to be a orange Groves
I love soursop cold. A lady yesterday tried to tell me that a jackfruit is soursop. oh boy haha nope I prefer soursop over jackfruit.
Where can i get a fresh seeds? I’ve got it from eBay a few times but they were no good. Not a single one germinated. Anybody?
I am selling soursop seeds. Annona seeds are unlike other tropical seeds in that they stay viable for a couple months after harvesting. The seeds I am selling are from this summer. I checked their germination a couple weeks ago and I got almost 100% germination. They do take a while to germinate though. I use the paper towel method. Here is the link to my listing www.etsy.com/listing/821093468/20-soursop-seeds-guanabana-annona?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=soursop+seeds&ref=sr_gallery-1-4
The core is good to eat. They say it helps with bladder problems.
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Awesome tree! I have one about 2 years old, can't wait for it to get that size. Great channel. BTW how did you grow your Barbados cherry from seed that you mention in another video, I have no luck with that.
Thank you! To grow the Barbados cherry from seed I first tried to germinate the seed in paper towels but that didn't work. I then just got a ton of seeds and planted them in a pot and waited for them to come up. I don't remember if a lot came up or just a few, but that method got them to germinate.
It makes great ice cream
I am sure. That sounds delicious!!
Congrats!!!
Thanks!
Take a bite already:}
Hi there Melanie…hailing from M’sia 👋🏼🇲🇾 our humid weather makes soursop planting very tricky 😅 have you ever encountered diplodia fruit rot with yours?
and its good for the body and cancer cells
Good video, do you hand pollinate the tree? Thumbs up and subscribed.
Nope, I never have done it to our soursop.
I’m trying to keep my tree short for easy pickings
I currently have a soursop pretty big light green not hard can I cut it off the branch take it inside and let it turn soft?
Love all the videos!! You should be a model, fruit, veggie model? Haha, you’re very beautiful!
haha thank you :)
The fruit is good no ants or worm inside How do you protect the fruits from pests thank you
Looks yummy.... I had sugar apple but not this one. Does it have the same taste?
Similar texture but soursop is juicer. Soursop is sour and sweet while sugar apple is super super sweet.
R they sweet or sour as the name goes pl ?? 😊
Do you have any trouble with anona seed boring wasp?
Brown sugar cinnamon and condensed lik please
Did you do anything to the soil before planting everything, I can’t grow such beautiful tree in Broward County
We did not do anything to the soil before planting it. We simply made a hole and that is it. After the tree was a few years old is when I removed the grass in order to make a garden. The soil has since improved after removing the grass because I have added lots of wood chips and leaves. There also used to be a compost pile right next to the soursop so all of the leachate from that probably also helped the tree grow.
Our Tropical Soil thank you
Hey! I messaged you on Etsy but I figured I'd try through here too. I ordered on multiple occasions soursop and custard seeds from you and they germinate so quickly! The only problem is (I live in Orlando) they die after a period of time. They seem to be SO sensitive to the erratic climate here (we had a period of frost last month that killed a couple of my mango and papaya trees 😭). The soursop and custard apple babies never last. I was wondering whether I should try growing soursop inside the house? I haven't given up yet! Thanks for your time!
Also should I wait for your next harvest to order seeds from you? I see the available ones you have online are from August 2021. Is that too long, since they stay viable only a couple of months?
Good explain mam, I have one tree🌳 in my house india, thanku
Thank you!
Hi, I’m interesting for seeds. I’m a beginner gardener and I live in Florida.
If you are looking to purchase some seeds I sell some on Etsy. Here is the link. www.etsy.com/listing/821093468/20-soursop-seeds-guanabana-annona?ref=shop_home_active_2&crt=1
Wao your vedio is most knowledge able but i need some soursop fruit beacause my mother need this fruit argently beacause need for cancer.i m in Pakistan at karachi
Here is not available this fruit. I am worried about my mom pl help.
I am middle class sitizen
today is july 22nd 2020 and my soursop tree has just put out a few flowre s is this normal ? i live in broward county florida.
Yes it is normal. Soursops put out flowers multiple times a year. However, my tree puts out a lot of flowers in the fall and then in winter it goes semi dormant. The pollinated flowers are not damaged by the cold weather then in spring little soursops start growing everywhere. In the summer it might bloom a little bit but most of the flowers appear in the fall.
Stay safe girl Cat 4 can be sketchy.
Yes we were spooked by the possibility of it coming straight at us but it seems we will be having minimal damage in Dade County. Unfortunately that isn't the same for a lot of other people.
May I have a plant please? this is the largest soursap tree I’ve ever seen
I sell seeds on Etsy from this tree. Here is the link. www.etsy.com/listing/821093468/20-soursop-seeds-guanabana-annona?ref=shop_home_active_2&crt=1
Please, please stop saying “So” thank you for the video you did a great job!
Please , please, please,
stop criticizing her!
You talk how you want and let her talk the way she wants!
Who do you think you are!!!
Mine was soft but when i cut it open it still wasnt ready it wasnt nice and sweet yet wasnt fully ready and what do i do i dont want to throw it its sour😓
Soursop is supposed to taste pretty sour. So maybe your fruit was ready. If they are picked to green they don't ripen properly. Maybe that is what happened?
@@OurTropicalSoil yes i think so thats what my hubby said they picked them to early
wow, nice video, thank you!
i'm from germany and would like to grow that plant here too, but i think its to cold here in winter, so i will try to grow that plant indoor...
i have already spent about 20€ for seeds, because it is absolutely not possible to buy the fruits here and getting my own seeds, but you can by some dried seeds, that doesnt germinate...
does anybody know, where i could get some seeds from? maybe here in the comment section is somebody, who could send me some seeds? :D
One could batter it and then season it and finally 🎉😊😂 fried...
Video about "Ice cream bean/Guama", please
Good idea. I currently do not have any access to ice cream bean fruit but when I do I will share a video about it. My tree still hasn't flowered or fruited.
Every soursop I buy just turns black and hard and never ripens :(
I am sorry to hear that. It is very likely that those soursops you buy are picked underripe and so they never ripen properly.
They look OK
I live in the Tampa Bay area. My Soursop is going on 4 years old, it blooms like crazy, but never produces fruit. I have tried hand pollinating but no luck. Any suggestions?
When our plant was younger it would flower and not have any fruit. Eventually it started having fruit. The thing is that it flowers in the fall for me and then it goes dormant in the winter form the cold weather. Luckily it seems the pollinated flowers are not affected by the cold. So when the spring comes the plant flushes out new leaves and then it begins growing the fruit for a summer crop. I think if maybe it is too cold where you are then the flowers might get damaged during the winter. That is the only thing I can think of.
@@OurTropicalSoil
That message was awhile back. I actually got one piece of fruit. It got to be about the size of my hand and the other day I found it on the ground. It has gotten cooler and the tree has lost its leaves. It is funny looking, there must be 50 blossoms on it an no leaves. I think 2021 will be a better year for the tree and out world, I hope. Thanks for the response.
Haha yeah the blossoms withstand the cold more than the leaves. I hope you get a good harvest this summer. :) You really wanna check the fruits frequently. After a while you will get a feel for it and be able to see the fruit and determine whether its ripe or not. But if they fall most times they small and get ants. We salvos them and remove the bad parts though. Thankfully the ground under the tree is very soft because we don't remove the leaves that fall so they give cushion to the fruit that fall.
Hi, I've been told this fruit has cancer fighting properties. My wife has stage 4 cancer and I cannot find this fruit in Missouri. Would you sell me some of these? Thank you for your time.
Try the Hispanic or Asian markets. Were you able to find her any? How is she now? There are some on amazon as well. Extending positive vibes to you two.
What part of fl do you live please
South Florida
@@OurTropicalSoil OK thank you i am Eastern Central FL between 9b and 10a glad to know we can grow these here
can you guide me on how you grow your plants. Thank you
am I able to grow soursop in Southern California?
I am not sure. The coldest it gets here is 40 degrees for only a few nights in a year. We have our tree near a southern wall so that might help create a micro climate. I think if you are able to protect the tree when young then you might be able to grow it if it doesn't go below 40 in your area.
Did you plant it from seed?
We didn't plant it but the person who gave us the plant planted it from seed. They fruit quite fast.
Where can I buy a soursop fruit in the USA?
Check with the company Miami fruit or just search up on Etsy or Ebay for fresh soursop.
in Filipino "Guyabano" :)
Do you sell the fruit?
We only have one tree producing so sometimes I sell just a few fruit when they are in season in the summer.
send me one Soursop or some leaves ❤
Can you sell for me.
Where could I get some seeds ?
When I have seeds available I sell them on Etsy. Here is my shop. www.etsy.com/shop/OurTropicalSoil You can also find some other sellers online on etsy or eBay who sell them. If you are in the USA I would just try to stick to ordering seeds from sellers within the USA. Shipping times can take very long with international shipping and sometimes there are issues with customs.
P
stop saying sour sop you did perfectly go make a drink and tea
Ohh!!! my, you made a mess of that fruit including debris all over the Pulp
They look OK
