He called the fruit the “champion of soursops.” According to the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), there are two types of soursop trees most cultivated in Brazil: Nordestina: with heart-shaped fruits (condiform) and weighing between 1.5 kg and 3 kg 🍃 Morada: large fruits that they weigh from 3 kg to 10 kg 🍃 When Raimundo Reis bought the farm, the soursop tree was already planted, so he can’t say what type of tree it is.

Reproduction / Raimundo Reis During the construction of one of his daughters’ rooms, Raimundo says he thought about cutting down the soursop tree. However, the family chose to incorporate the tree into the construction planning. The entrance to Raimundo’s daughter’s room ended up being in front of the soursop tree and tiles and a wall were placed around the tree. To avoid any chemical products that could affect the tree, the retiree says that the room’s balcony is washed only with water. “I treat him [o pé de graviola] like my golden goose, with affection. I already love plants, I take care of my plants. It takes me a while to go to lunch so I can spend time with my plants. I talk to them”, says the retiree.

Regarding the giant fruit, the retiree believes it won’t take long to try it. “It should fall by Saturday,” Raimundo told g1, this Wednesday (22). In other harvests, the fruits weighed between 5 kg and 8 kg, says the retiree. Last year, he even sold some soursops because the pulps no longer fit in the refrigerator and freezer at home. According to Embrapa, the soursop tree – which is a tropical plant – likes temperatures between 21°C and 30°C and “vegetates uninterruptedly, that is, it always produces fruit”.
