Overly high temps from 80-90 F. (27-32 C.) and low relative humidity cause pollination issues while slightly lower temps and 80 percent relative humidity improve pollination.Soursop trees should be irrigated regularly to prevent stress, which will cause leaf drop. Fertilize every quarter of the year with a 10-10-10 NPK at ½ pound (0.22 kg.) per year for the first year, 1 pound (.45 kg.) the second, and 3 pounds (1.4 kg.) for every year thereafter. Very little pruning is required once the initial shaping is attained. You should only need to prune out dead or diseased limbs, which should be done once harvest is over. Topping the trees at 6 feet (2 m.) will facilitate harvesting.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHarvesting Soursop Fruit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen harvesting soursop, the fruit will change from dark green to a lighter yellowish green tone.
