Soursop seeds grow into evergreen trees with an upright to spreading growth habit, suitable for long term cultivation in warm climates. These plants are adapted to tropical and subtropical regions and are typically grown outdoors in frost free areas. They establish best under consistently warm conditions with regular moisture and are commonly planted in home gardens and open landscapes where adequate space is available. When grown from seed, plants develop gradually and are suitable for gardeners interested in cultivating perennial trees from early growth stages.
