Master the Art of Growing Sweetsop Trees from Seed | January 15, 2024

Growing your own sweetsop tree, also known as sugar apple, from seed can be a truly rewarding experience. While it requires some patience and care, it’s not as difficult as it may seem. Here’s a detailed guide to help you get started:

1. Seed Preparation

To begin, it’s important to use fresh seeds for better germination. Dry or older seeds may not sprout as well.

2. Germination Process

• Plant the seeds horizontally, about 2-3 cm deep, in a quality seed mix. Germination usually takes around 30 days, but it can be slow due to the tough seed coating.
• You can speed up germination by scarifying the seeds. Simply lightly scratch the seed coat with sandpaper to allow moisture and air to penetrate more easily.
• Using a soilless germination mix can help protect the seeds from disease and ensure proper growth.

3. Post-Germination Care
