Soursop - Golden

Advanced soursop seedling approx 50cms and will fruit within 2 year.

This Rare beauty Annona muricata the Golden Soursop is one of the largest cultivars of soursop available. The pulp is of excellent quality with small seeds.

The tree is a consistent heavy cropper with the fruit being yellow on the tree from fruit set to maturity.

The Soursop is native to the nothern parts of South America. In its tropical conditions it grows vigorously and seedling trees will fruit within 2-3 years. In the subtropics it requires substantial protection from cold winds and will not tolerate frosts. The tree prefers deep well drained semi-dry soil.

The fruit is heart-shaped with a rough green skin and soft fleshy spines. The fresh meaty flesh is juicy and slightly acid producing a rich creamy thirst quenching juice. Superb when fruit is pureed with 1/3 of vanilla icecream. The fruit can also be dried into a sweet fruit leather. Grafted varieties have the least acid flavour and least fibrous consistency. Immature soursops are cooked as vegetables, used in soup or roasted.

The fruit is delicious and the leaves can be used to make tea which is said to be of medicinal benefit.
