**Soursop Tree Grown from Seed – 1.5 Years Old (Annona muricata)**
Also known as **guanabana** or **graviola**, soursop is the tropical superstar for its massive, spiky fruits packed with soft, creamy-white pulp that's famously sweet-tart—like a blend of pineapple, strawberry, and citrus custard—perfect for refreshing juices, smoothies, ice creams, or fresh scooping!
These vigorous **seed-grown** soursop trees are already **1.5 years old**—giving you a huge head start over fresh seedlings! At this stage, they're well-established young trees (typically 2–4+ feet tall depending on growing conditions, with strong roots and glossy, dark green, elongated leaves) ready to transplant and thrive. Seed-grown trees offer genetic diversity and often robust vigor, with potential for excellent fruit quality (sweet, aromatic pulp with large edible seeds)—many produce delicious, large fruits true to type, though variability exists in flavor and size.
Expect a fast-growing, evergreen small-to-medium tree reaching 15–30 feet tall if unpruned (easily kept smaller at 10–20 feet with pruning for backyards, orchards, or large containers). These cauliflorous wonders flower and fruit on trunk and branches, yielding enormous, heart-shaped or irregular fruits (often 6–12+ inches long, 3–15 lbs or more) covered in soft green spines. The juicy, fibrous-yet-creamy white flesh is seed-dotted and bursts with that signature exotic tang-sweetness—harvested when soft and yielding to pressure. Main season in Florida: **June–September** (with possible year-round or off-season fruit in ideal conditions).
Thriving in hot, humid subtropical climates (USDA zones 10–11 preferred; protect from rare freezes below ~30°F, especially while young), these trees love well-drained soil, full sun, and consistent moisture—relatively low-maintenance once established, with good tolerance for South Florida's humidity.
Get ahead with these established 1.5-year-old seedlings—homegrown soursop that brings legendary tropical flavor, massive yields, and backyard paradise vibes! Order your Soursop Tree Grown from Seed (1.5 Years Old) today from Giardino Fresco and start your journey to fresh guanabana bliss.
Ideal for: large-space tropical growers, Florida & Caribbean-style orchards, juice/smoothie enthusiasts, exotic fruit collectors, and anyone patient for that unbeatable custard-like tropical treat.
