Annona sp. "Excellens"

Annona aff. excellens is a rare species native to the Amazon basin, particularly the tri-border region of Acre (Brazil), Peru, and Bolivia. This medium-sized tree thrives in warm, humid climates, producing elongated fruits with a creamy texture and a sweet, tropical tang. The smooth, aromatic pulp, encased in a lightly textured rind, is a delicacy enjoyed fresh or in desserts, juices, and smoothies. Playing a vital ecological role in its native rainforest, the fruit supports biodiversity by serving as a food source for birds and mammals. Adaptable to tropical and subtropical regions, this prolific fruiting tree flourishes in well-drained, organic-rich soils, making it a prized addition for rare fruit collectors and agroforestry systems alike.
