Annona muricata

Annona muricata is a species of the genus Annona of the custard apple tree family, Annonaceae, which has edible fruit.[4][5] The fruit is usually called Soursop due to its slightly acidic taste when ripe. Annona muricata is native to the Caribbean and Central America but is now widely cultivated – and in some areas, becoming invasive – in tropical and subtropical climates throughout the world, such as India.[4][5]

The annona muricata fruit is generally called guanábana in Hispanic America, and the tree is a guanábano. Both tree and fruit were called catuche in some parts of Venezuela, but that word is currently less commonly used. It is known as sirsak in Indonesia.

Annona muricata is also the main host plant for tailed jay (Graphium agamemnon) caterpillars. They eat the leaves voraciously and usually stick under the leaves to pupate.
