Annona montana, the mountain soursop, is a tree and its edible fruit in the Annonaceae family native to Central America, the Amazon, and islands in the Caribbean. It has fibrous fruits. [4] A. montana may be used as a rootstock for cultivated Annonas. [5]
The Latin specific epithet montana refers to mountains or "coming from mountains". [6]
The tree is similar to Annona muricata, but has a more spreading crown and glossy leaves. It is slightly hardier and bears fruit throughout the year. [9] It tolerates brief temperature drops down to 24 °F (−4 °C) when full grown. [10] Its pollen is shed as permanent tetrads. [11] The fruits are nearly round, with dark green skin covered with many short fleshy spines, and are about 15 centimetres (5.9 in) long. Yellow, fibrous pulp – which is aromatic – is sour and bitter, containing many light-brown, plump seeds. [9] There is history of its use as a traditional medicine. [9]
A. montana grows wild at altitudes from 0 metres (0 ft) to 650 metres (2,130 ft). [9] Its natural distribution is:
