Soursop

Annona muricata

Where to See It Gardens and estates island-wide

Behind its spiky green skin the soursop hides a soft, white, fragrant flesh, tart and sweet at once, that islanders blend into one of the Caribbean's best-loved drinks. The tree carries its strange, heavy fruit straight on the trunk and branches. Ask for a soursop punch on a warm afternoon and you will understand the devotion.
