❓ What is the most delicious Annona fruit? Guanabana!

  • 🍐 Annona muricata - commonly known as Soursop, Guanabana, or Graviola, is widely regarded as the best-tasting annona fruit.

  • 🍐 This tropical tree, native to Tropical America, produces large, unusual-looking fruits with a unique blend of sweet and slightly sour flavors. The custard-like pulp is fragrant, smooth and creamy, making Soursop perfect for milkshakes, desserts, or simply enjoyed fresh.

  • 🍐 Soursop is evergreen in warm climates, though it's highly sensitive to cold and requires temperatures above 50°F to thrive. However, it can also be grown indoors in containers, making it possible to enjoy its delicious fruit even in cooler regions. The tree itself is medium-sized, fast-growing, and relatively easy to manage in a pot, offering a wonderful option for indoor fruit growing.

  • 🍐 Soursop is one of the largest of the Annonas, and its quirky, bumpy fruit shapes make it a fun conversation starter. We even have an interesting article on how to grow, hand-pollinate and fruit Soursop in an apartment - ideal for plant lovers looking to bring a taste of the tropics into their homes!

  • 🍐 Soursop leaves are superheroes in the world of natural remedies. Known for their potential to fight cancer, these leaves are packed with compounds that may help keep rogue cells in check. Whether brewed into tea or turned into extracts, they've become a popular go-to in holistic health circles.

☀️ Have you seen a yellow jasmine?

  • 💟 One of the few jasmines with yellow flowers is Jasminum mesnyi, or Japanese Jasmine, also known as Primrose Jasmine.

  • 💟 Rare and beautiful. This unusual jasmine features large, vibrant yellow flowers that stand out beautifully against its dark green foliage.

  • 💟 Fast growing and vigorous. It's a valuable plant in landscaping for its fast growth, dense foliage, and ability to form a lush, bright cover.

  • 💟 Easy to grow. Japanese Jasmine is incredibly versatile - it grows wonderfully in mass plantings, can be pruned to create a small hedge, or allowed to trail over fences and walls.

  • 💟 Trim it more! The more you trim it, the bushier it becomes, forming a dense "cloud" of greenery with cheerful yellow flowers scattered throughout.

  • 💟 Whether you're looking to add color, create a natural screen, or cover up an unsightly area, Japanese Jasmine is a fantastic choice that brings both beauty and utility to any garden!

🤌 Where can I try a rare Abiu fruit and what does it taste like?

  • 🍋 Abiu tree (Pouteria caimito), or Harvest Moon Sapote - is a must-try rare tropical fruit with a striking appearance and incredible flavor.

  • 🍋 About the size of a medium apple, Abiu ripens to a bright, sunny yellow that hints at the deliciousness inside. Beneath its somewhat thick, sturdy skin, which contains a bit of sticky latex when cut, lies a jelly-like, ultra-juicy flesh that's sweet, smooth, and completely acid-free.

  • 🍋 Its flavor is often compared to the luscious taste of Chrysophyllum cainito (Star Apple that we mentioned earlier), making it a favorite among tropical fruit lovers.

  • 🍋 Each fruit typically has one elongated seed nestled within, and Abiu is often grown from seed.

  • 🍋 Abiu is very hard to find tropical fruit tree, and you won't find this fruit in supermarkets. So the only way to taste it - to grow your own!

  • 🍋 With its vibrant color, unique texture, and tropical sweetness, Abiu is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a touch of the exotic to their rare fruit collection!
