How To Grow Sugar Apple (Sweetsop) From Seed

Hello everyone, In this video, you will learn the proper technique on how to plant and grow sugar apple also known as sweetsop, sitaphal, mang cau, anon, or chirimoya.
First, you want to create a suitable soil mixture. I recommend using Peatmoss, Perlite, and your native soil to achieve this.
Amazon Links For Perlite & Peatmoss
Peatmoss (Helps with water retention & Plant roots): amzn.to/3f75aq0
Perlite (Helps with soil compaction & Drainage)
amzn.to/38O8SUx
I use a mixture of 40% Peatmoss, 40% Perlite, and 20% Native soil in my sugar apple pot mixtures.

Make sure to plant your sugar apple seeds with the circle portion of the seed facing up towards the sky.

I like your mushroom house. I've never seen a design like that.

[@serrano59]

I just ate a sugar apple for the first time here in trinidad and tobago and I loved it. My wife and I will try to get some seeds to germinate before we return to the states. Hopefully when we return next year we'll have a small tree.

Hi thank you so much for the support, your comment means a lot to me 😊

[@bisdaque5219]

Great! I am still waiting for.mine to sprout been at least 4 weeks now.

[@queensikambale4263]

Very nice

[@pdias8469]

Thank you for your information how to grow custard apple as we call them.

[@davidgardner1067]

Excellent video. Thanks for the tips. I'm trying to germinate some atemoya seeds and anona. I want to grow then in pots. I live in Long Beach, CA. I believe it's zone 10b here.

[@SQUID_Road_Glide]

Excellent explanation. I am a transplant to Central Florida. I just got a handful of Sugar Apple seeds as our first step into fruit trees. I know, not a strong choice to start with but life is like a box of chocolates. That’s before your time but it is still relevant. I am surprised at the color of the native soil. Subscribed, La granja de Río Hondo.

[@carson911]

That isn't true native soil. He built this soil up or someone before him did. You can do the same thing in Central Florida.

[@SergeMartins-ld8ve]

Sugar apple is the perfect starter fruit tree

[@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849]

I will try this :-)

[@ezekielsphotography7301]

Hey man I love your videos thank you so much… How can I get Atemoya seeds?

[@Anurrith]

I just hope mine will flourish in the UK. Luckily, I have a South facing garden. Thanks for the heads up on how to plant the seeds cos I had them laying on their sides.

[@imsoswift]

did they grow in the UK? I'm also in the UK and considering growing these, would be good to know how you got on?

[@66tammie]

I have a seedling that has its leaves growing in two rows up its trunk. They are not set in different locations on the trunk, I am unsure what to do or if there is a pruning technique I can use on it?

[@marthai.caicedo9022]

Cuantos años se demora para Dar frutos??

Nice video ! Thank you for your sharing. How long to take it to start fruiting?

[@gardenflorida]

They can germinate in under a month during spring conditions.

[@Anurrith]

I believe 3-4 years before they bare fruit

[@Elishatheconduit]

I are you living in Florida? I notice that your channel is called Garden Florida. I would like to purchase one of those sweet apple plants from you. I live in Florida.

[@susangarraway6385]

Hi, how long before it bears fruit.

[@jetlaggedchef6806]

Great video! I just brought back seeds from a delicious cherimoya I had in Barcelona a few days ago. Do you think the process would be the same?

[@gardenflorida]

Yes it would be the same process for cherimoya.

[@kellyreineking4514]

Thanks. I'm going to try growing some. Do I plant the seeds right from the fruit, or should I let them dry out first?

[@gardenflorida]

Either way, the sugar apple seeds will still sprout. They can be dried or placed in water.

[@SL-ur7vt]

How come mine takes months to see it starting to sprout and seed shell still attached on the plant? Takes a year to see The height of your 4 your 6 week plant.

[@fouadbenrezzak8398]

Do anona give fruit from seeds Some say they need grafting?!

[@landao2067]

I love sugar apple . I've learned a lot, I wish I live in Florida so I can grow tropical fruit. Do you have any red sugar apple seeds for sale. Thanks

[@gardenflorida]

I will have red sugar apple seeds for sale within a month (when I harvest them).

[@khydo]

Do sugar apple seedlings like wet feet? If I bought one and the leaves begin to droop and dry should I heavily water the pot or leave the soil dry and put in shade? Any help before these seedlings die on me?

[@ndahafanakale3755]

I hav the same problem 😕

[@mimosel1]

Hi. I live in Houston Texas. I planted the seeds. They come up beautifully and then one by one they shriveled up and died. I watered them everyday. What's wrong? Help me to save my seedlings. Thanks.

[@swtbox626]

I have a few that have germinated but the leaves have been stuck inside the shell/pod for weeks. Has this happened to you before? How would you get them out without injuring the plants? TIA

[@SergeMartins-ld8ve]

Just leave them how'd they turn out?

[@SL-ur7vt]

How long does sugar apple grow from seed to set fruit?

[@springday7013]

About 3 years to fruit

[@nasimnoormohamed8215]

I live in Orlando plz let me know

[@gardenflorida]

I am located in Bradenton.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

so let me get this straight, if i take a seed out from one i got from the store and planted it will grow and bear fruit or they need to cross pollinate ? can they grow in southern ontario? and do they need large land like pawpaws?

[@gardenflorida]

You can grow one from a seed without another tree around for cross pollination. You can use the pollen from the same tree and flower to pollinate another sugar apple flower on the same plant.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@@gardenflorida awesome ok but if i only grow one tree from one seed it should self pollinate and give me some fruit? because sugar apples was a childhood memory fruit for me from back home where we had bigger ones than usual it had lovely white custard like flesh with black seeds, the question is can i actually grow one in say a large pot in my apartment on on my balcony here in toronto where i live and it will be good enough to bear fruit??

[@brocc6578]

@@ARCSTREAMS I am growing one in Boston,USA in my apartment, I planted a lot seeds and thru the time a few starts developed it has been 2yrs and I end up with 4 plants now but now I am facing black leafs so I am looking for videos or articles about it to prevent them to die, But yes you can grow in your apartment

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@@brocc6578 have any bear fruit so far? its funny over here where i live im now noticing a couple of wild raspberry trees that are fruiting next to my building i never had these before and wonder if someone planted them or it happened by mistake lol

[@asianangler]

what's wrong with just potting soil?

[@sarahhammouda2470]

I have annona glabra tree but I don't like how it taste how can I make it produce sugar apple

[@gardenflorida]

Yes you are able to sugar apple onto your pond apple tree to make it produce sugar apple!

[@devbachu7072]

I have a potted tree floaering but for tge fiezt time flowering fall off

[@gardenflorida]

Sometimes some flowers will fall off and some will stay. Perhaps add more nutrients to your sugar apple?

[@icp2rck513]

Hello, how long does it take for the seeds to germinate?

[@gardenflorida]

It should take anywhere from 1 - 3 months.

[@icp2rck513]

@@gardenflorida What's the lowest temperature can the Sugar Apple tolerate outdoors?

[@nasimnoormohamed8215]

Where are you in PR or in Miami? Do you have a nursery where l can buy.

[@gardenflorida]

I do have a online nursery (www.GardenFL.com) and will be selling smaller sugar apple plants soon - they are currently not on my site yet for sale.

[@nenesgarden2811]

Do you guys sell the tree and shipped

[@gardenflorida]

Yes

[@manohargopireddy1356]

Wherr to get the seeds? Do you sell seeds or plants?

I sell sugar apple seeds currently.

[@SENTIGUARDANONLOSO]

Pert moss is so enviromentally destructive. Why are you using it

[@gardenflorida]

Did not know, I bought at the store. Perhaps you should go ask the big stores why they are selling it.
