Annona deceptrix is a shrub or small tree native to Colombia, typically found growing at elevations around 1600 meters above sea level. It usually reaches up to 3 meters in height. The fruit is known for its unique flavor, often described as a combination of soursop with sweet and acidic notes, and is notably juicy. Locally, the fruit is eaten fresh, valued for its good balance between seed and pulp.
Besides its edible fruit, Annona deceptrix is also harvested from the wild for its wood, which serves as a resource for local communities. Due to its growth at higher elevations and distinctive flavor, this species holds interest both for wild collectors and those looking to diversify tropical fruit varieties.
Seeds are from a cultivated tree and are shipped in packs of one, in humid vermiculite.
