Annona monticola is a rare species of the Annonaceae family native to the seasonally dry tropical savannas of central and southeastern Brazil, as well as parts of eastern Bolivia. It typically grows as a low subshrub or small shrub, often suited for container cultivation due to its compact, bushy form. The plant features smooth bark, entire leaves with curving venation, and cream-colored flowers with six distinct petals. Its fruit is an aggregate type formed from fused carpels—small, rounded, and yellowish when ripe. Botanical collections have documented the species in regions such as Goiás, Distrito Federal, and the Chapada dos Veadeiros.
The fruit of A. monticola is edible and appreciated for its soft, juicy pulp and mild, sweet flavor. It is described by growers as having a smooth, custard-like texture with notes reminiscent of banana and subtle floral undertones. While not widely cultivated, the species is occasionally grown by plant collectors and enthusiasts, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Its unusual growth habit and delicate fruit make it an intriguing candidate for further exploration in home gardens and specialty collections.
The plants photographed are similar to the one you will receive. Typically the largest plants available will be shipped out first.
