3year old SOURSOP TREE (what the tree looks like TODAY)

[@MyEcoHomeDiary]

I'm so glad to hear one can get soursop fruit within 3 years and that they last for so long. Thanks for the video!

[@ThePlantCollector]

Thank you 🤙

Yes, we plant not just for ourselves but for generations to come. God bless you my friend and thank you for sharing.

How much fruit can I yield from a container? It’s gets too cold in winter where I live.

Your tree needs to be pruned so more sunshine & airflow

Thank you, these videos were very educational for me, I have researched the internet for advice but nothing came up, my plants are a year old and now I know what to expect. God bless you for your efforts.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I try my best to upload videos of quality showing progress or failures in my grows. Im happy you found some answers in my videos! 🤙

[@lexisokere9752]

Right same here, but my plant is some days old. i just want to know how the roots spread, because of space I have mine little close to my compound wall. I planted it quite deep though and I hope it's roots will not destroy my wall.

[@lexisokere9752]

@@ThePlantCollector Pls respond to my comments above too, concerning my soar sop plant being close to my wall, it si not too close though and deeply planted. Thank you and appreciate your contributions a lot. Well done.

[@ThePlantCollector]

@@lexisokere9752 I don’t think your soursop will be affected too much from being planted too close to any structure. The structure might be affected by the soursop because the plant’s roots will push and put pressure on any underground structure (especially plumbing) so think carefully before you plant any tree near your house.

I live in Caribbean and have a plant however the leaves keep getting dry brow spots on the leaves. Your tree is quite healthy and the leaves are perfect. What care do you use and what soil type please?

[@ThePlantCollector]

Hello from Hawaii! 🤙 I really dont give it anything! Since I planted it I’ve only given it water in the beginning to establish a decent root system. The tree has basically grown on its own for the past 2 years. The soil here where this tree is going is more clay than sand but it holds moisture well. Not too wet, not to dry. Our weather patterns I would think is similar for the most part so I don’t think the weather is a problem. Just make sure to feed your plants organic matter like mulch and compost and I believe you should be fine. There are other videos here on the channel that track the growth of this soursop so feel free to check them out for some more information! 🤙 aloha!

[@underworldevents265]

@ThePlantCollector I'd love to see a video when you top this tree. My soursop is about 15-20 tall and produces a lot of fruit, but it keeps growing taller and the bottom branches are not growing, so the first 8 or 9 feet now is only trunk. Any ideas on how to make the tree fill out? Should I top it down to a height where there are no branches? I'm clueless and would love some tips. Thanks!

[@ThePlantCollector]

Sounds like you have a pretty tall tree! Im going to be topping my tree soon but my tree has lots of lower branches. Im sure that if you top it low the branches will eventually grow back but I dont know if you are willing to wait that long since youre tree is already providing fruit. Maybe top it low enough to where you atleast still have some mature branches as you wait for new branches to grow back. I will be topping my tree soon because it is getting too tall and I would rather have a bushy filled out tree.

[@underworldevents265]

@@ThePlantCollector Thanks for the insight. I was thinking of topping it down to the level of the lowest branches and see what happens. If I do that, do you think branches will grow out of the trunk below that though? I've never seen branches just start to grow where there were none before. Mahalo!

[@ThePlantCollector]

@@underworldevents265 I've come to realize through my own experiences that trees are masters of survival. From what I've experienced, almost always but ofcourse with the very few exceptions, trees have a tendency of sending up an abundance of new growth when they are either pruned or topped. I am fairly certain that your tree will have lots of new growth and also remember that around springtime is when you'll see the most obvious signs. I will do a short video shortly to show exactly what I am talking about. 👍

[@lexisokere9752]

@@ThePlantCollector Pls what is the meaning of the topping? What process is that? I would not like my tree to grow too tall, since I am just starting is there a way i could achieve this while it grows, maybe through regular prunning or something, Pls are you on facebook, wish I could communicate with you there too.

[@ThePlantCollector]

@@lexisokere9752 Topping is cutting off the LEADING upward growing branch or main trunk so that the tree grows sideways more and not upward. Pruning is basically the same thing. My tree is doing just fine after topping it 👍 Dont worry too much about these plants. They have a way of surviving through almost anything even without our help.

[@Soy_Johana_Galindez]

@@ThePlantCollector thank you. That clarifies it better. Many of us in US would like to grow this medicinal plant (I have 4 of my own) grown in container in South GA which is zone 9-A and it is thriving, however, when it was winter I brought it inside next to my window and it is doing fine. Now that it is getting on the 80-90 ° weather, I leave it outside and feed it regularly with fertilizer. Keeping fingers crossed 🤞 that my Puerto Rican seeds do well and give me fruit. 🙏🏻❤️.

[@datacenterarchive]

How often do you water them I have 2 as of now about 1 year old

[@ThePlantCollector]

I dont water them on a schedule. I watered them when the soil was dry for the first months after transplanting into the ground. After that, I didn’t have to water anymore.

[@SowViableGardens]

What do you recommend to induce flowering & fruiting? My tree is 4 years old.

[@ThePlantCollector]

I'm not sure actually...I haven't had that problem...give you tree a bit more time and I'm sure you'll get flowers 👍

Why my soursop 9 yrs.old after transplant not produce fruiting kindly give advice sir from Phillipines

[@ThePlantCollector]

I am not sure. Make sure the tree has plenty of nutrients (fertilizer), water, and sunlight. Give it some time and you may get lucky. I don't fertilize the tree I planted. I just let it grow and it fruits on its own. I use organic fertilizer on other plants sometimes. Only compost and mulch 👍

Please what is the difference between sweet Soursop tree and sour Soursop tree

[@ThePlantCollector]

Soursop is both sweet and mildly sour. Some soursop fruits may taste sweeter when harvested at peak ripeness and others may taste sour if harvested sooner..it just depends on how ripe the fuit is. Im fairly certain there isn’t a sweet soursop and a sour one..it depends on the stage of the fruit’s development. There are other fruits within the annona family that are sweeter (like the sugar apple) 👍 hope this answers your question.

[@nesq4104]

Some people call another custard apple variety "sweetsop" but it is not soursop

[@ellabrown1969]

Sugar apple and sweet soup is the same fruit
