Tropical Plants

Custard apple and Soapberry in Z6

15 years ago

I just bought some seeds off Ebay (sapindus saponaria and annona reticulata) and was wondering how I should grow them. I've found a lot of contradictory info for both as far as growing conditions, hardiness temps, ect. Can anyone give me some tips on growing these?

Thanks!

Abbey...you should post your question on the Tropical Fruit forum. There are lots of folks growing annonas. I can tell you that at least the annonas will have to be kept in a greenhouse or brought inside during colder weather. A good, well-draining soil mix a little on the acidic side will be best. J
