Soursop seeds often take several weeks to germinate under warm, moist conditions, although some may take longer. Seed freshness, temperature, and moisture levels can affect germination.
A soursop tree grown from seed may take several years to produce fruit, often around 3–5 years or longer. The timing depends on climate, growing conditions, and tree development.
Soursop seedlings can be started in pots, but mature trees need substantial root space and warm conditions. Use a large container with drainage holes, provide sunlight, and protect the plant from cold weather.
