If you have limited space, don’t worry! Sweetsop trees can also be grown in containers. Just make sure you keep them small, either as shrubs or bonsai. The container should be about 20% bigger than the root ball, and the soil should be changed every few years.
7. Harvesting
Sugar apples are typically ready for harvest in summer or autumn. It’s best to collect the fruit a little before it’s fully ripe to prevent it from becoming overripe on the tree.
8. Challenges and Solutions
- Avoid heavy fertilization near the tree, as it may reduce fruiting and affect fruit quality.
- While sweetsop trees are somewhat drought-tolerant, they still require consistent moisture, especially in the early stages of growth.

By following these steps and providing the necessary care, you can successfully grow a sweetsop tree from seed at home. Remember, patience is key, as it may take several years before your tree starts to bear fruit. Happy gardening!
