You can get the Miami Soursop Variety from 2 places that I know of In Miami from Lara Farms at larafarmsmiami... In West Palm Beach from Lover Nursery at / alice.brave.167
I noticed my first fruit from the Miami variety I picked up from Julian at Lara Farms two years ago today. I never hand pollinated and it still produced.
Great video Paul. I can confirm Miami Soursop are productive trees and self pollinating. I bought one from Lara Farms 1 gallon and it produced fruit within 1.5 year still in pot. Unfortunately hurricane Ian knocked them off. But that gave me an opportunity to put it in the ground. I have one fruit coming and it's still pushing out flower.
When I saw this video I had to comment I have one that was growing where I wanted to construct a step so I air layered it and now its fruiting and that soursop fruit was about 12" long it grow from seed
The Graviola tree produces more fruit when hand pollination takes place. With a gentle touch its easy. Early norning between 8:00 am & 10:00 am. The stigma is sticky looking. Some places locations its better to self pollinate. Better rate of success for harvesting fruits. Hand pollination is a fail safe. Guarantees fruits.
Self fertile doesn’t mean that they won’t benefit from hand pollination. It means that they will produce fruit without a genetically different cultivar available to pollinate flowers.
Where did you get this info?? Because I think this is just someone speculating. People have been using the leaves of the common variety as medicine for over a hundred years in the Islands.
Leaves, stems, and sometimes fruit of basically anything in the whole annonaceae family have similar chemicals that help the body fight cancer. There are pills you can get of standardized pawpaw extract. That's the one with the most research behind it, and the only one that's a standardized dose. The graviola pills are usually just fruit powder and who knows how much active chemicals are in it.
I got one maybe five or six years ago. It's been fruiting alright for the last couple years, but the fruit are not very good. I didn't realize there were different varieties when I got it. I think it's a seedling. I figured they were all about the same, but they're not. I want a tree that makes good fruit. I've had good soursop and I want one like that. I might look into adding grafts or getting a new tree, maybe that Miami one.
Thank you for these information. I bought a plant from Lowes. The plant has been in the ground for about 3 years now. Last year the tree had on few flowers but the they fell off. The tree is tall and slender, when is the best time to cut it back? Thanks for your response.
The best time to cut the soursop during Nov to jan.so by spring they sprout new branches & leaves & the flowing start.same as mango & Avacado.by June they are tree ripe,to harvest.we should not let it grow tall,because it is difficult to reach & check while it ready to harvest.if not checked & it fully ripe on the tree it drop off & waisted. So most imported to remember do not let the plant grow more than 10 or 12 ft.
Great tour but how old are those trees?? How old is the one dripping with fruit and how long did you have to wait for the first fruit? Also, how long do you have to wait for fruit with grafted trees vs seedlings? Thanks for sharing your collection. I LOVE Soursop. Watching from sunny Queensland Australia 😎
A tree must reach a certain size to be able to successfully produce a fruit. Grafted trees might start flowering earlier than seedling, but the fruit might not ripen. In my case it was about 6 feet / 4 yo seedling grown in a 5 gallon pot that started flowering. Moreover, the seedling was growing inside an apartment, so it got sun only from one side through the window. Zone 6a, Ukraine. It is said that in proper conditions not grafted seedlings could start flowering at 3 yo. So in my opinion grafting soursop is actually not about an earlier bearing, but to exactly match the taste and ability to self-pollinate.
Can I order a baby tree from you? I don’t think anyone is selling them in California..does winter weather harm them? Thanks in advance for your suggestions also I have a frozen soursop do you think I could dry the seeds?
Hand pollination has it's pros and cons too especially if the tree is huge it's true hand pollinated fruits are normally uniform in size etc not featuring such a wide variation in size like the ones pollinated naturally by insects.

How does it taste ?
I tried a Vietnamese and Philippines varieties they are tasty.

wow, let me know how it does. Where is your farm located?
@@FruitfulTrees my farm is in the acreage/Loxahatchee area. I also airlayered a branch to see how well soursop do from an airlayer. I keep you posted.
@@FruitFloridaFarm cool, many I can come out one day and check it out. how big is it? I seen your video. Looking nice.
@@FruitfulTrees 1 acre. you are more then welcome thanks
@@FruitfulTrees hi Mr Paul,great video. What time of year did you purchase the soursop tree please?.
Thanks for the vid Paul. Was nice seeing you and your beautiful smile this morning. Have a fruitful day
Thk you for sharing your video, I am glad to know somebody cares and plant soursoup!😊😊😊

🥰Love your information on the Soursop Tree🏝Thank You
Hi Paul, good video, I have 3 trees, one dried up from cold spell we had here I’m Miami, I planted from seed, took 3 plus years, very sweet
Great info.
How long do seedlings usually take to fruit? I brought 3 from Home Depot last year and they’re growing great but I haven’t had any fruit yet
3 or 4 years if it is a good one. Some may never fruit
i have the sweet variety. can eat whole fruit in one sitting.
Self fertile doesn’t mean that they won’t benefit from hand pollination. It means that they will produce fruit without a genetically different cultivar available to pollinate flowers.
i cant believe i just tried this fruit last weekend for the first time after seeing all the videos and people talking about them. Now I know why!!!!!
Its the leaves from Mountain Soursop (Annona montana) not this type to use for cancer protection.

it has A huge dosage of Graviola. Research everything before you try it. Please google its side effects.
Great video
Hey, great content on soursop. Does the Colombian soursop variety produce the largest fruit or it a matter of growth conditions and fertilizers?
Half guanabana half lemonade delicious
Did you cover it in the winter time because I have a feeling that I'm going to buy a little greenhouse and
Awesome bro thanks
Do the birds pick at them? Should I try growing one of these in LA?
Soursop dose t graft that well so most ppl have to grow from seed.
Hi Paul....great vid!
There's a soursop that consired to be the potent healer. The name is mountain soursop. I have it. Took me a while to get.
Not a fan :( if you don’t eat it quick it will turn to snot like texture 😢. But fresh it’s amazing and potent
mountain soursop thats the one!
Hi Lisette!
Do you selI seeds and leaves? I’d happily pay for it plus shipping.
I got one maybe five or six years ago. It's been fruiting alright for the last couple years, but the fruit are not very good. I didn't realize there were different varieties when I got it.

Did you do an update on the ones that you dry farmed
Thank you for these information. I bought a plant from Lowes. The plant has been in the ground for about 3 years now. Last year the tree had on few flowers but the they fell off. The tree is tall and slender, when is the best time to cut it back? Thanks for your response.
usually best to cut the tree right after you take fruit off. If there is no fruit I usually wouldn't cut it unless it was very big
The best time to cut the soursop during Nov to jan.so by spring they sprout new branches & leaves & the flowing start.same as mango & Avacado.by June they are tree ripe,to harvest.we should not let it grow tall,because it is difficult to reach & check while it ready to harvest.if not checked & it fully ripe on the tree it drop off & waisted.

Like the video, but could you show different ways of eating fruit.

Do you know it there cold hardy.
I live in Central Florida.???
Can I order a baby tree from you? I don’t think anyone is selling them in California..does winter weather harm them?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions also I have a frozen soursop do you think I could dry the seeds?
Sir, I want some branches from you to plant and I will pay you for them and the shipping cost. Thank you
How long did it take for your lowes/home depot tree to fruit ?
I can't understand how come the birds bats or any other animals don't raid the fruit on your trees
Is a 8ft soursop from seed a good buy ?
What u do to get rid of the desease
How do you use the leaves?? Do you boil it in water.?
Yes like a tea
Did you amend the soil prior to planting? How much and how frequently are they irrigated?
did nothing to the soil and I water than every day
Where can i get the miami soursop
I can't find it for less than 15$
I live in Tampa it's in the 63 degrees right now at night... will my soursop survive???? 😭😭😭 what's the coldest temp it can take???
I'm in Bradenton and mine survive the frost and are starting to fruit. They will drop all the leaves but they come right back.
Would this grow in New Orleans?
it gets too cold there I think
👍
What bout the others one he sells like premium
Can you do a video on custard apple?
For sure I did already do a search and you will see a great one I did with Lara Farms.
Why in the world would you not hand pollinate? Its easy and you get rewarded.
Paul is very popular with the ladies and doesn’t have time for stuff like that
Hand pollination has it's pros and cons too especially if the tree is huge it's true hand pollinated fruits are normally uniform in size etc not featuring such a wide variation in size like the ones pollinated naturally by insects.
Plus hand pollinating a huge trees with plenty flowers is too time consuming as well
@@geriannroth449 Yeah thats why most people keep them on the smaller side.
Speaking from what place and your telephone no to get intouch I am very much interested in fruit trees
Are any of these fibless varieties? Hope you do a tasting video.
I will do a tasting video
ahhhh so there not suppose to be hard as a rock?!?!?
you can pick them that way but when and if they ripen they won't be as good as if you let them ripen on the tree
Zuvìell bĺabla
Great video
