Soursop (Annona muricata)
Experience the exotic Soursop (Annona muricata), a tropical tree related to the Paw Paw, perfect for warm, humid climates. While young plants can be grown in pots, they require ground planting in tropical zones to mature and produce fruit. This tree boasts a bushy structure, with unique flowers and fruit appearing directly on its trunk and branches. The large, heart-shaped fruit features a spiny exterior and a soft, custard-like pulp with a delightfully tart flavor, offering a taste of the tropics.

What customers say
Customers express high enthusiasm for the Soursop plants, consistently praising the initial quality and health upon arrival. Logee's meticulous packaging ensures these sensitive tropical specimens arrive intact, often exceeding expectations for mail order stock size. The core theme centers on the inherent difficulty of cultivating Soursop outside its native climate. Many report initial stress, like leaf drop, during the acclimation period due to sensitivity to temperature and humidity changes. While the price is premium, buyers perceive excellent value given the plant's rarity and Logee's proven nursery stock quality. The overall sentiment reflects hopeful anticipation for this unique horticultural investment.
