Can't blame all on the genetics - good pollinators are required as well, and since soursop like several other annona spp. have limited self-pollination capacity, a single tree will normally produce less. However, the amount of flowers on this tree is outstanding as the photo shows.
True; not sure which pollinators you have or humidity level etc. versus ours in Uganda - but we too have the average low producing trees with 5-15 fruits at a time.
Several varieties of soursop gives, at least once in a while, a good flush of flowers and fruits. The trick is to get it consistently, which my Arusha variety seems to be a master in doing. Just counted 45+ fruits and more flowers breaking out.
A comment today from Wirsiy Eric - who some of you know for trading Cameroonian seeds including junglesop. I gave him a seedling years back of the high yielding cv.; "I have counted 35 fruits of the improved soursop you gave me seeds of. There are still very many flowers." And this is second time it flowers.
Everything that comes out of Africa is tough like h... - nobody here cares for their trees, so it is 'survival of the fittest' for sure. This season looks like a record breaking season with very heavy fruit load on both my trees from this selection.Perhaps a cross between Whitmans fiberless, Carlos' giant and these hardy heavy producers would give the ultimate soursop.!
Hi Soren, will you have seeds in about a month r later? I'd love to buy a few then if you have them!
