Recipe for December
There are over 100 species of Annona which grow throughout the tropics. Only 3 species, amongst them Annona muricata, the soursop, are commercially important.
Sousop originates from Latin America. It requires moist warm climate for good fruit production. Trees can yield 50-100 kg fruit per tree per year over a period of about 15 years.
