I have a soursop tree and 2 weeks ago all of the leaves fell, no new growth on the horizon. It is as if the tree is now dead. But the branches are still green
A Soursop will drop it's leaves in temperature below 45 degrees F.
How do I pollinate the flowers?
With soursops, even with good pollination, it is normal for many flowers to fall off and only a few to produce fruit, but the fruit production improves as the tree gets older. Hand pollination is possible but can be difficult. This article explains how to hand pollinate the related tree Atemoya in the Flowering Behavior section:

Soursop should be the same, but the schedule is: In the early evening, collect pollen from male flowers. Store it in the refrigerator overnight. Apply the pollen to the stigmas of the female flowers early the next morning.
My soursop tree is producing quite a lot of buds and flowers but there are no development into fruits that hold; any suggestions?
Depending on it's age it just may not be old enough yet to produce fruit. This article should help

Can I find some fertilizer from you guys so the tree can produce If flowers but it won't stay on there long enough to blossom for the fruit to get bigger
This article will help you with care including fertilizer recommendations.

My Soursop tree is 8 years old and produces only 3 to 6 fruits every 6 monthe. What fertilizer, in what N P K percentage should it get to produce more abundantly. This is Curacao, about 11 degreen north of equator in the Caribbean sea, just off the coast of Venezuela. We are a Dutch Island, slightly arrive, but with abundant ground water.
It won't be necessary to know exact NPK values, as they will be very similar. Finding fertilizers with exact values for each will get quite expensive, so a general fruit tree fertilizer will be sufficient once or twice per year. This can be found at many online retailers, or locally.
