Description: Annona Muricata, Soursop, Graviola 10 Seeds (Refr LC1) Soursop, (Annona muricata), also called guanabana, graviola, or Brazilian pawpaw, tree of the custard apple family (Annonaceae) and its large edible fruits. Native to the American tropics, the tree has been widely introduced in the Old World tropics. The fruit's juicy, fibrous, white flesh, which combines the flavors of mango and pineapple, can be eaten fresh and is strained to make custards, ice creams, and drinks. Soursop has been promoted as an alternative cancer treatment, but clinical studies in humans are lacking. See also custard apple.Reaching about 8 meters (26 feet) in height, the soursop tree has broad-ended oval evergreen leaves about 12 cm (5 inches) long. The large aromatic fruits are oval, spiny, and green-skinned; they grow about 20 cm (8 inches) long and weigh up to 4.5 kg (10 pounds). The plant is usually cultivated from seed and grows well in warm climates with high humidity.Annona Muricata Seed GerminationDespite many named cultivars, soursops are commonly grown from seed. Trees can also be propagated by grafting and budding methods. Grafting of cherimoya and sugar apple trees (and vice versa) onto soursop has thus far been unsuccessful. Soursop seeds can be stored for several months before planting. Germination of seeds usually takes three weeks, but under sub-optimal conditions can be delayed for up to 2-3 months. Seedlings of 6-9 month age are usually large enough to be set out in the field, or used as rootstocks for grafting
