The soursop tree reaches reach between 8 and 10 meters high under the conditions of the soil is so fertile and so much care is taken to grow, their foliage is not abundant compact, simple leaves are leathery (thick ) have a dark green color and are large and bright, its flowers are yellowish green, bisexual in pairs or solitary are always in short stalks that sprout from older branches of the tree, its leaves are pungent when rubbed with the hands.

The soursop tree is a tropical climate so do not tolerate frost. Flowers soursop tree are pollinated (is the action of transferring pollen grains from the male reproductive system of a flower to the female organ which contains eggs) by small insects such as beetles, ants. Since you do not contain nectar and bright colors can not be pollinated by bees, the flowers are dicogamas (ie that there reach maturity at the same time), so the tree will only produce 10 to 15 soursop each season for the tree maximum manually pollinate your fruit is necessary when the fruit is grown to market those involved know this very well as it is not otherwise give great fruit.

The fruit should be cut when the soursop has reached its maturity it is very noticeable as the fruit loses some of its dark green and becomes a little more opaque and its brightness decreases, their spines become more soft and pliable.

We must avoid the cut when tender soursop as a tender soursop not ripen well and will taste bitter and not pleasant.

Well cancer is a disease in which the body produces an excessive amount of malignant cells without control and this is always accompanied by a large growth or lump, it all depends if male or spreads via the lymphatic or blood hence its gravity.

Also we should not forget that all patients suffering from this terrible disease of cancer are infected with parasites. Parasites (the same that give our dogs and cats) these parasites create both toxic inside our body, their droppings, which simply fits the body not any defense against cancer and ends up succumbing to the attack of cells cancer.
