Soursop seeds grow into evergreen trees with a strong, spreading growth habit suited to warm tropical and subtropical climates. This mountain type is adapted to outdoor planting in frost free regions and performs well in open garden spaces with good air circulation. Plants establish gradually when grown from seed and are commonly used in home gardens and landscape plantings where long term tree growth is desired. Consistent warmth, regular moisture, and well drained soil support steady development.
