Soursops from seed are typically of excellent quality, but take longer to reach fruiting age.
Latin name – Annona squamosa
Soursop trees are fast growing and produce a fruit that is considered a tropical delicacy. Also called Guanabana, the sweet and tart fruit is heart shaped with a bright green skin. They can be eaten fresh or used to make amazing milkshakes and smoothies. Aside from the delicious tropical taste, the fruit has amazing health benefits and is cancer fighting. The leaves, when boiled, are believed to help fight off infections and viruses as well as boost the immune system.
