How to Plant Giant Soursop Seeds

Seed Preparation:
- Soak Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours before planting to encourage germination.
Planting Instructions:

Fertilizer:
- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote strong growth and healthy fruit development. Organic compost can also be added to improve soil health.
Pruning:
- Prune dead or damaged branches regularly and shape the tree as needed to maintain a manageable size. For better fruit production, remove any competing branches to ensure the tree’s energy is directed toward producing fruit.
Hardiness Zones:
- Giant Soursop trees thrive in USDA zones 10-11, making them ideal for tropical and subtropical climates. In cooler areas, grow them in pots and bring them indoors during winter months.
