Soursop or not?

Dear friends,
I bought a few seeds from ebay which were told to be of soursop, after i planted them I got this result coming up, which i have far doubts that the leaves are of soursop as their shape dont match the leaves of soursop that I found on the net, can anybody tell me what he thinks this plant really is?

They look like soursop. I grew up in the tropics and had a few trees in the backyard. Besides the fruit a healing tea is made from the tender leaves.

Good to hear that thanks Jd, what kind of healing teas can I get from the leaves? and how please? would love to learn more about it....

When I was in college I came down with a bad case of strep throat. I had a fever and could not eat solid  food and liquids had to be ice cold due to the pain and inflamation for me to drink.  My mom took 4 to 5 tender leaves and boiled them in a liter of water for about 5 minutes. I started to drink this tea (with added honey) in the morning, by dinner time I was able to eat solid food and the fever was gone. People also drink it for stomach issues.

Jd, tender leaves you mean green leaves? as normally they always make teas from dry leaves no?
If you have more information about this tree I would appreciate it...... Happy easter ... I am in Malta(Europe) here...

By tender I meant new growth leaves. The newly sprouted leaves. In your picture, look at the  the smallest ones that are about half of a fully grown one would be the ones my mom would use. Living in the tropics we would always use fresh leaves. I would think that they could be dried and stored in other climates but not sure if they would lose their beneficial attributes or not by drying.

Thanks appreciated.

Hi.  When I read your initial question, I copied the picture and sent it to my brother, because he lived in Jamaica for over 15 years.  He said that this wasn't sour sop.  

What is it then?

Good question.  He lived in Jamaica long enough to learn to recognize common fruit trees, but not all the local plant varieties.

Since I wrote the post, though, I've been wondering if there might be different sour sop varieties with different leaf shapes?  Just a possibility. Good luck!

I have no idea about different varieties, but the soursop trees we have here have different leaves. We've got some big trees and a few baby trees so I took the camera and got a few pictures of the two seedlings we recently planted out. The seeds of this tree are black, flat and oval shaped, about a cm long and half a cm wide. They have a hard shill.
