My first Guyabano - Soursop - Annona Muricata fruit
« on: August 25, 2017, 12:25:20 AM »
Here come the sweetest and most awaited moment for every fruit lover  :)
After 4 years my guyabano seedling fruited!
Last year the tree had about 30 flowers but didn't set any fruit.
This year just 20 flowers but is bearing 6 fruits already.











This is the fruit i harvested today as it ripened getting  yellowish with thorns far apart from each other and soft to the touch















The fruit was a bit over 1.2 kg (2.6 pounds) Flesh was not fibrous but more on the crisp-creamy side.
Taste was really superb, very sweet (compared to the other many guyabano i tried) with a hint of sour to create a nice balanced flavour.
I just wanted to share my happiness with the members of this forum, thanks everybody for the many ideas/advices/help you give me everyday!  :)

P.S.
For my (very) limited experience annona muricata comes true from seeds since i got the same kind of fruit as the one I got my seeds from
