01Narrative

Annona salzmannii, the beach sugar apple, is a tree native to Brazil. It is an extremely rare Annona bearing orange skinned fruits up to one pound in weight with a sweet and very tasty white pulp. The fruit is prized in its native range, but is rare and never cultivated. The tree is an evergreen tree to 30 -, one of the tallest Annona trees. Those weird and wonderful fruit trees are like A. scleroderma and A. crassiflora. A. salzmannii is a food source for golden-headed lion tamarins (one of 155 tree species useful to the tamarins).
