It doesn't require defoliation but will do so if exposed to temps below 40F/4.4C and especially in cold winds. It is a tropical tree and evergreen in its native habitat. Probably it would prefer to keep its leaves.

i was wondering if soursop is like cherimoya, where it needs the leaves to drop in order for the flowering buds to come out.
