Soursop seeds grow into evergreen trees with an upright to spreading growth habit suited to warm tropical and subtropical climates. These trees are commonly planted outdoors in frost free regions where consistent warmth and humidity support steady growth. They adapt well to garden beds and open landscapes and are typically grown in home gardens for long term cultivation. When started from seed, plants establish gradually and benefit from regular moisture, well drained soil, and adequate sunlight.
