Soursop trunk growth during dormancy

[shinzo]

Hi all,
Yesterday, i noticed an interesting thing when i was taking a picture of my soursop seedling (potted and inside my stairs room, in front of a big window - almost a greenhouse) : even though vegetative flushes stopped around october (the seedling didn't lose its leaves), the trunk almost doubled its size. I took a picture of almost the same angle to compare the size of the two trunks :

November 2017 :



February 2018 :



I thought that during dormancy every growth stops, i was pleased to find that the trunk became more sturdy during that period.

I don't know about soursop, but mangoes lay down roots during the dormancy period. Their cycle goes vegetation, then roots, then flower + fruit, then back to vegetation. Generally, I find that the best time to transplant is during the root growing period (Aug - Sept here in FL).

As long as it has leaves in sunlight, it is photosynthesizing--- and it has to use or store that glucose somewhere.
