Guanabana (Annona muricata) was grown from a seed and fruited in apartment up North

❓ 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.
