In London, the Soursop has been grown to a limited extent for possibly 110 years. They are popular because of their distinctive aromatic qualities and their suitability for processing in the form of preserved pulp, nectar and jelly.
Best growth is achieved in deep, rich, well-drained, semi-drysoil, but the Soursop tree can be and is commonly grown in acid and sandy soil, and in the porous, oolitic limestone of South London.
The Soursop tends to flower and fruit more or less continuously, but in every growing area there is a principal season of ripening,it begins in April in London.
