Excalibur's are about a month from being ready for sale.  They are from an excellent low seed/low "cotton" variety

What is the fruit quality of these trees ?  As some guanabanas can be very seedy and have a high "cotton" content, this very important.  Also, are yours seedlings or grafted?

[BENDERSGROVE]

these are I believe seedlings from pine island,couldnt tell u about fruit quality since I personally dont like them,I have sold tons of these from pine island over the years,never had a complaint from a customer as  too fruit quality. that's the best I can tell you.

How many customers have actually gotten them to fruit!

3 or four that I know of 100 percent plus I have a 8 year old tree that was kncked down during wilma,that produces tons of fruit,we usually give them away since we dont personally like them,they do have quite a few seeds,I am not a soursop connisuer,we give lots of fruit from this tree away to our customers who do seem to like them. me give me a nice juicy mango any day! we get a lot of people who have been buying them for the leaves,we have been told that a tea is made out of the leaves for
some kind of cancer treatment,we have had people call as far away as the phillipines trying to buy leaves,interesting.

You are correct, the leaves are a supposed cancer treatment/remedy.  Excalibur also gets calls for the same.

[BENDERSGROVE]

I also heard that the leaves can be poisonous if not prepared right,don't know how true that is but is very interesting,I hope it really works, seems when I get the calls for leaves,people seem almost desperate,sad.

I believe mullberry leaves have a similar property.

[BENDERSGROVE]

Guess I better stock up on mulberry trees! Lol

Are your Mulberries from seed or grafted?

Do you mean Excalibur's ?  If so, some are grafted (the Green/White specifically), some are cuttings and I believe some may be air layers.

[BENDERSGROVE]

Ours are cuttings

Everything is toxic , what varies is the dosage,  leaves are pretty safe, and can be taken as a tea daily if needed , the seeds on the other hand can easily be toxic if taken in the wrong amounts.  just like any other medicine, taking the right amount is key.  aspirin is safe, but not if you guzzle down a bottle of it.
graviola leaves I will use in my Flu buster tea, which usually has Graviola, Lemongrass, star anise , prunella vulgaris, bay-rum leaves, holy basil and lemon balm.  all of which i have growing in my backyard with the  exception of the Prunella which i get in Chinatown.
