I like sugar apples, I love atemoya and soursop. The only thing sugar apple has going for it that is better than atemoya is that it is a month or so earlier in season, and it sets fruit better without hand pollination. Otherwise atemoya blows sugar apple away in terms of taste, fruit to seed ratio and cold tolerance.

Second year fruitingCongrats, that's a whole bunch of delicious fruit! Any chance of teaching him to hand pollinate so he can get some real whopper sized soursop?
Really? Does anyone hand-pollinate soursop? Mine seems perfectly capable of producing huge fruit on its own.
My question: Does soursop have a short season? From my tree about a dozen are ripening in the space of a week. (Going to have to freeze the pulp!)
