Quote from: Samu on March 02, 2017, 01:15:52 AMWell, does anyone has any success in fruiting their Soursop, yet? If so, how hard it is to keep it to stay alive through the Winter?A photo or two would be very helpful to encourage me (and others?) to try to grow this in Southern California..., thanks!SamIt's challenging. If you can find one that flowers in April you will fruit it easy. I'm getting closer with cuban fiberless

Soursops are sensitive to cold WINDS--- wind at about 43-degrees Fahrenheit will kill all the leaves. The soursop will immediately leaf out again. Next cold wind--- repeat. Four or five episodes exhausts the trees buds and carb reserves. DEAD, without ever getting down into frost territory.Protected from Wind, soursop can take 2 or more degrees below freezing.
Hi BehlI know of a couple examples of soursop fruiting in So Cal . Both examples are of members of the FB group Vietnamese exotic fruit growers . One tree belongs to a member who lives in Garden Grove and the other member is listed as Los Angeles. I haven’t seen the trees in person myself, but know many members of the group who have and have seen pictures of the large fruit hanging in the tree.William
