Well, I went out in TS Gordon the other day to better brace my soursop tree, it's about 7' tall and seems very happy, growing surprisingly well for a soursop.
I had a pleasant surprise, it has about 10 large, immature flowers. It makes me a bit nervous letting it fruit this late, as I know they can lose their leaves and go dormant in the winter.
The tree was planted to replace a tree killed by Irma, so it's maybe been in the ground for 6 months or so.
Should I let it fruit based on the fact that it's almost fall? I would love to get one or two off of my tree, but if it won't make it to maturity since it's fall, I prefer to remove the flowers now.
Also, do you pollinate these just as you do an atemoya? The flowers are quite different for sure.
Thanks!
