Annona monticola

Annona monticola is native to Brazil, specifically in regions including Cerrado, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Pantanal, and São Paulo. The plant only gets to a maximum height of 2 feet!

The fruit of Annona monticola carries a flavor closely resembling that of a banana-lemon snow cone; acidic and tropical. The fruit has scales similar to most annona, but are shriveled and delicate. This botanical treasure showcases the art of compact cultivation while delivering a uniquely tropical taste, making it a prized addition to container gardens.
