Aguinaldo Guyabano (NSIC Ss 02): Fruit and Tree Characteristics
Aguinaldo is a registered guyabano variety, also sold or known as NSIC Ss 02. It was registered with the National Seed Industry Council in 2000 as NSIC 2000 Ss 02. Elpidio Panganiban bred it. Its record notes a yield of 20 to 25 fruits.
The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.
What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.
So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

Its record notes a yield of 20 to 25 fruits. It bears every year, with fruit in Jan., Mar. and Apr. A grafted or marcotted tree bears years sooner than one grown from seed, and its yield climbs as the tree grows.

Where and when to plant Aguinaldo guyabano
Pick a selection with big, evenly shaped fruit and few seeds. Hand pollination helps fruit set. A registered tree variety is a selection from one proven mother tree, and only grafted, budded or marcotted plants carry its traits. A seedling grown from its seed can turn out quite different. So buy from a nursery accredited by the Bureau of Plant Industry, and ask which mother tree the scions came from. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Pagtatanim ng puno.
