Annona Neolaurifolia Plant Information: 🌱 Name: Annona Neolaurifolia 🌱 Quantity: 1 Plant 🌱 Container: 4x4x6 Container Plant Description: Seeds were imported from Brazil. The old name Rollinia laurifolia is valid only as a synonym. This species differs from Annona neosalicifolia in having wider and longer leaves and larger fruits, and in having a pinkish inner bark and narrower seeds. The tree has a dense and leafy crown. It is native to the gallery forest formations of the cerrados and in the semi-deciduous forests at the head of springs in the most mountainous regions. The plant is rare and occurs in Minas Gerais and São Paulo. Upright tree 5 to 12 meters tall (when in the forest), with a slender trunk and olive green to light brown in color, measuring 10 to 20 cm in diameter. This species is easily identified by its leaves similar to cinnamon or laurel (hence its scientific name laurifólia). The leaves are simple, cardaceous (like cardboard), oblong-lanceolate (narrow like a sword), glabrous (hairless on the upper surface, and white pubescent (with small hairs) on the dorsal surface; measuring 7 to 16 cm in length and 1.6 to 3.8 cm in width. The tree can be grown in urban or square afforestation because it is small, and it cannot be left out of forest restoration, as its fruits feed birds and various land animals such as pacas, coatis, graxains, agoutis, and tapirs. The fruits are very tasty for consumption in their natural state; and the seeds do not easily come loose from the pulp, which has a yield of 40% compared to the fruit. The fruits can also be pulped and the pulp frozen for future use or immediately to make mousses, ice cream, use in dough or fillings for cakes and cookies. The fruits of this species have a skin that is resistant to handling and for this reason it is very promising to be grown by family farmers who can sell them at street markets.
