About two years ago, George Ebanks planted the soursop tree in his back yard and in recent weeks has been reaping an abundance of sweet fruits.

As he said, he has been “living off of soursop juice” since harvest began.

 Besides soursop, as a hobby, George also grows watermelon, pumpkin, bananas, calaloo, tomatoes and peppers. His caretaker supplies local restaurants and supermarkets with the excess produce from the property.
