Excalibur and Lara Farms grafted soursop

[Doglips]

Benders Grove has grafted soursop, "Miami" cv. of a tree that fruits regularly (in Miami), as i understand.

This is the first I've heard of named cultivars of soursop.  I've looked a bit on the net and I'm not finding anything.

Does anyone have a list of names along with descriptors?

it's just a tree that was productive so they propagate it.  it is in Miami-thus, the name.

Soursops seems to have flushes of productivity, the consistent ones are the keepers... Regarding atemoyas, stabile hybrids seems to exist due to generations of selective breeding so don't count on too much variation for all lines

I harvested my first Excalibur Soursop from my grafted tree today and thought I would share a few pictures and a little bit of information about it. I’m happy to report that it does appear it be a low cotton/seed fruit. The taste was mostly the typical soursop flavor but every once in a while I would get a much sweeter complex flavor that I really loved. I’s a small tree right now and I'm hoping as it becomes more established that sweeter portion become more prevalent throughout, but even if the fruit stayed the same quality I’m very happy with it.

When promoting maximum sweetness, remember that optimal levels of nutritional elements (especially Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium , Phosphate, and perhaps Silicone), and lots of foliage on the branch holding the fruits (and no excessive amounts of fruit), and lots of sunshine reaching that foliage, will enable the tree to reach its potential.

Andrew the guanabana looks clean nice texture. It reminds me of cuban & yucatan fiberless fruits albeit noticibly smaller.

Congrats Andrew,
That looks like a delicious guanabana!
The ones I have been buying at the market are not as solid white inside as yours. Then, the seeds bleed there color out into the flesh and makes parts black. Still tastes great though.
