[@CaRaSi]

Awesome info thank you! Growing some seedlings in Miami!

[@VirginiaFruitGrower]

Excellent vid. It's not well known that you can airlayer these. Great tips on the iron, zinc and copper. Thanks!

[@dddduu300]

Amendments and watering schedule would have been super helpful

I believe I got the best tree of soursop my fruits are huge and there are three different style are fruits and they all big and they are sweet and I don't have to do any pollinating the tree doesn't itself

[@Pepesplants]

Are you located in Florida? That is fantastic! Congratulations,

[@allymonami]

Pepe, I’m going to be in Boca Raton on Thursday. If you have a soursap that I can buy from you, I can pick it up if you’re not too far from Boca.

[@Pepesplants]

I wont be around until early AM Friday sorry. I will be leaving for the Florida Keys for a few days. Thanks for thinking of me.

What is best manure for passion fruit

[@allymonami]

Pepe! I need a soursap tree. I don’t mind if it doesn’t make fruits. I need it for the leaves. Can you help me get one? I’ll be grabbing tree leaves from friends until I get my own tree in my yard.

Where do get the iron and zinc that you have?

Ive got a soursop growing in central florida it has 5 flowers that I have seen so far. I have had it in the ground for 3 years now. Its around 12-14 feet tall. Should I be trying to trim the top to keep it smaller?

[@Pepesplants]

Prune it back about 25 % in the spring. Best to keep them around 8-9 feet at the most. I keep mine bushy at around 7 feet.

[@calebsoileau4936]

@@Pepesplants I got a lot of flowers but I dont think any of them are getting fertilized.. what do you recommend?

[@Pepesplants]

@@calebsoileau4936 You could hand pollinate them. Is the tree still 12 foot tall?

[@calebsoileau4936]

@@Pepesplants yes it is haha

I want to start growing soursop and then selling them here in South texas. Do you sell seeds

[@MaryArce-ys3gx]

I have a tree 3 years no fruit yet one flour this year and it’s gone with the rain, the tree is an a pot big pot I am in Melbourne Viera

[@Pepesplants]

Soursop trees need hand pollination in most cases. Also full sun. Wet soil could cause fungal diseases so too large a pot could be an issue. Watch my video on pollination. Thanks for watching. Best wishes.

[@mattgreen8665]

Can you put them directly into the ground from the air layer or do they have to go into a pot first?

[@Pepesplants]

I think it's better to get them well established in the pot before planting in ground. They need some shade and wind protection to limit chances of dessication etc.

[@mattgreen8665]

@@Pepesplants thank you!

[@lizi6270]

Hi Pepe: Do you know if soursops fruit ok if they're kept potted? I'm zone 9b/10 Tampa. Thanks!

[@Pepesplants]

They do yes. Not as much as if in the ground.

[@JoseGonzales-ul9sv]

Where you been brother?

All over the place. LOl.

In interested to get 1 of your small GUANABANA tree. How can I go about ordering one?

[@Pepesplants]

I will have some grafted ones in a few weeks and some seedling trees. Pepesplants.com Thanks.

[@yura5671]

If you are going to cut the non-producing tree, then maybe instead you could try suggestion from one blogger who also had non-producing tree. He beat 3 big nails into the trunk, and tree started to produce next year. Probably those nails caused stress that motivated flowering.

[@Pepesplants]

I have heard this before but never tried it. That would be a good experiment and a video for the future. Thank you.

[@rachelpitts7873]

My father in law did that once to a papaya tree and it started to fruit
