Annona spinescens "Bahia"

Annona spinescens "Bahia" is a rare and compact tree species characterized by pointed branch tips and a spiny appearance that shifts with the growing tip. The plant grows up to 6 meters tall and produces yellow-green flowers that give way to large, bright orange fruits with juicy, orange flesh that are roughly the size of an apple and edible.

This species is widespread but not commonly found in lowland dry forests and gallery forests on sandy soils, ranging from Paraguay to eastern Brazil. Annona spinescens thrives in dry areas and may lose its leaves during colder periods.
