Osteomeles obtusifolia

Osteomeles obtusifolia, commonly known as the guanabana or soursop, is a member of the Annonaceae family and thrives in the tropical regions of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. This tree produces edible fruit that are both nutritious and flavorful. It prefers full sun, moist conditions, and can grow well in light (sandy), medium, or heavy (clay) soils. One distinctive feature is its large, heart-shaped leaves with a glossy surface, while another notable characteristic is the unique, creamy-white flowers followed by the fruit, which are often described as having a pineapple-like appearance but tasting like a cross between strawberry and vanilla.
