Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about the differences between soursop and custard apple, fruit development, and growing soursop from seeds.
What is the difference between soursop and custard apple?
Soursop (Annona muricata) and sugar apple or custard apple (Annona squamosa) are related tropical fruits from the Annonaceae family, but they are different species. Soursop generally has a larger green fruit with a textured exterior and soft, white sweet-tart pulp. Sugar apple typically has a segmented exterior and sweet, creamy flesh. Check the botanical name on your seed package to identify the correct plant.
How long does a soursop tree take to produce fruit from seeds?
Seed-grown soursop trees may take several years to begin producing fruit, and the timing depends on climate, seedling development, and care. Seed-grown trees can also vary in their fruiting characteristics. Provide suitable warmth, sunlight, moisture, and nutrition to support healthy growth, and treat any specific fruiting timeline as an estimate rather than a guarantee.
What climate is best for growing soursop trees?
Soursop grows best in warm tropical conditions and is sensitive to cold and frost. Choose a location with suitable sunlight, fertile well-drained soil, and regular moisture. In cooler regions, protect young trees from low temperatures and consider container growing where practical. Local climate and seasonal conditions influence how successfully the tree grows and produces fruit.
