Planting & Care

Dig a planting hole three times wider than the root ball and slightly shallower to accommodate proper root placement. Loosen surrounding soil to encourage easy root penetration, then gently spread the roots downward with the root flare positioned about one inch above ground level. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Our Soursop trees arrive in well-draining soil enhanced with small white beads to promote optimal drainage and plant health. Provide full sun exposure and allow your tree to establish before harvesting fruit in its second or third year.
