Why You’ll Love Our Hybrid Soursop Plant

• The “Cancer-Fighting” Superfruit: Soursop contains annonaceous acetogenins—powerful compounds that have demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against various human cancer cell lines, including lung, breast, colon, pancreatic, and kidney carcinoma in scientific studies .

• Massive, Delicious Fruits: The fruit is the largest among Annonas, ranging from 10-30 cm (4-12 inches) long and weighing 0.3 kg up to an incredible 6 kg (13+ pounds) ! Each fruit contains about 67.5% edible white pulp with a unique pineapple-like aroma and refreshing, slightly tangy flavor .

• Grafted for Quality & Production: Our grafted plants ensure true-to-type fruit quality, earlier fruiting (2-3 years), and consistent yields—avoiding the unpredictability of seed-grown trees.

• Proven in Similar Climates: Soursop grows successfully in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. While still emerging in Nepal, it thrives in conditions similar to our terai and warm mid-hill areas, growing well at altitudes of up to 1,100 meters .

• Multi-Harvest Potential: With proper care, mature Soursop trees can produce fruit during April to October, and sometimes multiple cycles per year in favorable conditions .

• Every Part Is Valuable:

  • Leaves: Brewed as tea for sedative, antispasmodic, and anti-cancer benefits. Dried leaves command premium prices in global e-commerce markets .

  • Fruit: Eaten fresh or processed into juice, ice cream, jams, and candies

  • Young green fruits: Cooked as a vegetable

  • Seeds: Used against internal/external parasites

  • Bark & Roots: Used in traditional medicine

• Excellent Intercropping Option: Soursop trees are small (7.5-9 meters tall), tolerant of partial shade, and can be intercropped with coconut, mango, avocado, or jackfruit—perfect for diversifying existing orchards
