I was wondering if anyone has experience growing Soursop/Guanabana in a container? If one knows of a dwarf variety and any experience caring for this wonderful tree? I live in north Florida (zone 8b/9a), just a bit to much out of it's range! Any help would be appreciated!

Pawpaw is in the same family and I am growing it outside in Boston.

Also here is a huge cultivar/species list and vendor. They have specs for temp, height, water, etc.
Let me know if you find anything that is interesting.

Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect

Thanks S Bengi. I recently purchased some Pawpaw seedlings from http://www.justfruitsandexotics.com/JFE/. They are a couple hours away from me in the panhandle. Admittedly, I've never tried a Pawpaw. I've read about them though and some varieties show promise for Florida! I recently completed a PDC in Costa Rica and tried Guanabana while in Central America. Loved it! I appreciate the tips, the web-site and your quick response! Thanks, brother!
