Graviola/ Soursop is an evergreen tree species which bears the largest fruit in Annonaceae family, known for its anti-cancer and therapeutic properties, due to its annonaceous acetogenins content. An experiment entitled was laid out in a Randomized Block Design, replicated five times with five treatments viz., planting distance of 1 x 1m (T1), 2 x 2 m (T2), 3 x 3 m (T3), 4 x 4 m (T4) and 5 x 5 m (T5). The results of the experiment revealed that, among the various planting distance tried, 1 x 1m (T1) recorded the maximum value for the characters like plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, Fresh weight of leaves per plant, Dry weight of leaves per plant, Plant spreading (East-West) and Plant spreading (North-South) which was followed by the planting distance of 3 x 3 m (T3).
