Hi, I have big problem. I ordered Graviola (Soursop) and got this. I think it is not Graviola but something else. Thank you, Petr.
That looks like Durian.
Also,welcome.
Since you tried ordering an Annona, my guess it it may be Rollinia aka Biriba.
They turn totally black. They are extremely short-lived and would not be good candidates for shipping.
DEFINITELY not a soursop.
If it were a durian you could barely breathe right now
on the same page, Luis!!
We post at same time…
It actually could be a Soncoya, Annona purpurea…i almost mentioned that but googling it makes me really consider it…it’s spikier than biriba.
Interesting tidbit - i think this is the tropical annona most similar to pawpaw, Asimina triloba, based on things I’ve read including description by George Zimmerman.
I have not seen or eaten a soncoya. It seems odd to me that it’s not more widely known. But then again, neither is pawpaw!
I really think is biriba, soncoya have a different form…
an interior picture and flavor report would help, right?
Yes, I am still waiting for response of my supplier before I cut it
Yes but in this case should be inedible by now…
it can still be guanabana, considering the size. I have grown a guanabana cultivar that looks like that. Of course there are guanabanas that are not as spiky. May also be a hybrid of two species of the annona genus.
it was probably shipped frozen, which explains the black rind, but should still be edible(though not as yummy as a fresh one)
Well just trying we know for shure…
yeah, quite intriguing right? Can’t wait for OP to slice it, as the suspense is killing me, lol
yeah this is exciting!!!
exciting, but it also borders on torture
I do see a couple purported images of guanabana with more pronounced, durian-like spikes. So I could be wrong on my earlier emphatic statement.
I am still waiting for response of my seller. Then I will cut it and send you photos Thank you for your help.
try to sprout the seeds. I wonder if they survive freezing.
