When does it bear, and how much?
A registered tree variety is described from its mother tree, not from trial plots. The mother tree of Davao Prolific was about 7 years old and about 3 to 4 meters tall when it was registered. Its record notes a yield of 5 to 8 fruits. It bears every year, with fruit in August September. 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 Davao Prolific 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.
