The fruit is one of the main reasons this plant is so loved. Soursop has a soft, creamy white flesh with a sweet-tart flavor often described as a mix of pineapple, strawberry, citrus, banana, and coconut. It is used around the world for smoothies, juices, desserts, ice cream, teas, and fresh eating when fully ripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"974\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSoursop grows as a tropical evergreen tree with broad green leaves and a beautiful upright shape. In warm tropical climates, it can grow into a full-sized fruiting tree, but in Arkansas and colder areas, it should be grown in a pot and protected from cold weather. This is a tropical plant and is not cold hardy. It will need to be brought into a greenhouse, sunroom, warm indoor space, or protected area before cold temperatures arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"976\" data-end=\"1362\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis is a great plant for collectors, tropical fruit lovers, greenhouse growers, and homesteaders wanting to grow rare and useful food plants. Even if you are not in a tropical climate, soursop can be grown in a container and moved with the seasons. With good care, warmth, bright light, and protection from cold, it can become a beautiful and valuable tropical plant for the homestead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1684\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe leaves of soursop have also been traditionally used in many cultures as an herbal tea. The fruit is valued as a nourishing tropical food, and the leaves have a long history of traditional use for general wellness support. The fruit is naturally rich in flavor and is often enjoyed for its refreshing, tropical taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1976\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn the kitchen, ripe soursop fruit can be eaten fresh, blended into smoothies, made into juice, used in frozen desserts, mixed into fruit drinks, or added to homemade tropical recipes. The flavor is rich, creamy, bright, and refreshing, making it one of the most unique fruits you can grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"2009\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAvailable now at Yahuah’s Farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1d68dcn\" data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2030\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eShipping Notice:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2032\" data-end=\"2336\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThese Soursop plants are shipped through the mail and may arrive with some stress from shipping. Tropical plants can be sensitive during transit, especially if they are in a box for several days. A little leaf droop, yellowing, or stress when it arrives can be normal and does not mean the plant is dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2338\" data-end=\"2594\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIf shipped bare root, the plant will arrive without a pot or soil. Bare-root shipping helps keep the plant lighter, cleaner, and more affordable to ship. Because the roots are exposed during shipping, the plant may need a little extra care when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2596\" data-end=\"2757\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIf shipped in a small pot, still expect the plant to need time to recover from being boxed and shipped. Either way, open your package right away when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1dpgao6\" data-start=\"2759\" data-end=\"2794\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Arrival Instructions:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2796\" data-end=\"3015\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhen your Soursop arrives, open the package immediately. Do not leave it sitting in a hot mailbox, vehicle, porch, or sealed box. Soursop is tropical and does not like extreme cold, extreme heat in a box, or drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3017\" data-end=\"3361\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIf the plant arrives bare root, soak the roots in clean water for about \u003cstrong data-start=\"3089\" data-end=\"3102\"\u003e1–2 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e before planting. Do not soak for days. Choose a pot with good drainage holes and use loose, rich, well-draining soil. Plant the soursop at the same depth it was previously growing, gently spread the roots out, cover the roots with soil, and water it in well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3363\" data-end=\"3541\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIf the plant arrives potted, water it lightly if the soil is dry, but do not overwater. Let it rest and recover before repotting unless it clearly needs to be planted right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3543\" data-end=\"3786\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAfter planting or unpacking, place the plant in a shaded or protected area for the first \u003cstrong data-start=\"3632\" data-end=\"3644\"\u003e3–5 days\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not put it straight into full sun after shipping. Once it has had time to recover, slowly move it into brighter light over the next week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3788\" data-end=\"4042\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSoursop prefers warmth, bright light, humidity, and well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist while it gets established, but do not let it sit in soggy soil. Once established, it likes consistent moisture, but the roots still need air and drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1w3rgwu\" data-start=\"4044\" data-end=\"4091\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eGrowing Soursop in Arkansas \u0026amp; Cold Climates:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4093\" data-end=\"4348\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn Arkansas and other colder areas, Soursop should be grown as a container plant. Keep it outdoors during warm weather, then bring it inside or into a greenhouse before temperatures get cold. This plant should be protected from frost and freezing weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4350\" data-end=\"4623\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA greenhouse is ideal, but it can also be grown in a bright sunroom, warm indoor area, or protected space with good light. During winter, growth may slow down, and that is normal. Keep it warm, avoid overwatering during cooler months, and give it as much light as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4625\" data-end=\"4723\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA rare, useful, tropical fruiting plant for the greenhouse, patio, container garden, or homestead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yahuah's Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53601278591275,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/1456\/9771\/files\/soursop.webp?v=1779284400","url":"https:\/\/yahuahsfarm.myshopify.com\/products\/soursop","provider":"Yahuahs Farm ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
