Origin
Pond apple (Annona glabra) is native from Florida to the Yucatan peninsula and to south Brazil. It appears to have naturally colonized West Africa from seeds transported on water from Tropical America. Manatee County on the west coast and Brevard County on the east represent the northern limit of its distribution in Florida. 2

Introduction to annonas with Har Madheem v1

Description
Pond apple occurs at the margin of sloughs, streams and lakes over a wide area (Fig. 34,35,36). It flourishes often in the presence of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) trees. The species once formed an almost continuous forest at the southern end of Lake Okeechobee but drainage has destroyed this habitat. Today, the largest populations are in the Everglades and small groupings can be found throughout South Florida. The Tree is a vital component of the Florida Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Ironically, it has become naturalized and a major weed in northeast Queensland, Australia. It is also a problem in Fiji and Sri Lanka. 2
With age, trunks become crooked displaying upcurved branches. In wet sites, older specimens develop enlarged, fluted or buttressed bases, somewhat like bald cypress trees (Taxodium distichum). 2

Leaves

The leaves are simple, entire and alternately arranged. Leaf blades are ovate to oblong, commonly 4 to 8 inches long and 2 to 4 inches wide. Leaves on basal suckers are the largest. Leaf blades are tapered at the base and have a short pointed apex. Leathery, glossy, and dark green above, they turn upward to form a v-shape along a prominent midrib. The petioles are short, usually 0.5 to 1.0 inch long. If crushed, the leaves emit a characteristic Annona fragrance that can be used to identify the tree in case of potential confusion. 2

Flowers
The flowers appear solitary with an occasional multiple at the base of the new shoots. Perfect flowers are attached to stout stems. There are two whorls of fleshy petals with the three large outer petals enclosing the three smaller inner petals. The petals are distinctly triangular shaped. The outer petals are creamy -white to pale greenish yellow when fresh and from 0.5 to 1 inch long. The inner three petals are narrower, whitish or dull greenish outside, usually blood-red within or spotted with red or wine-color near the base. Flowers begin to emerge in abundance in the spring, but depending on the environment, flowers can be produced year-round. Blooms open at night and emit their fragrance as a lure to entice beetles to enter the center chamber to effect pollination between the stamens and stigmas. 2

Fruit
Conical to five inches long, smooth, rich yellow skin, pulp salmon-yellow in dry segments. Musky, subacid, resinous flavor, not desirable. Some fruit reach edible quality. Seeds NOT edible. Boiling the fruit makes it a bit more palatable. Can be made into a jelly. 4
Fruits are oblong to elliptical-shaped. They are usually 3 to 5 inches long and 2.5 to 3.5 inches in diameter. The surface is slightly outlined, but never elevated or scaly like other fruits in the genus. Indehiscent mature fruits begin falling from trees in late summer. However, most fruits mature in the fall and into winter. They drop from trees while still green or when greenish-yellow. Both fruits and seeds float and remain viable for many months. 2
Mature fruit have a sweet aroma. The pulp is fleshy, mealy and pithy. The color is yellowish-orange. Ripe fruits are considered edible but unpalatable to humans. When ripe, the thick stem easily pulls away from the fruit leaving a central cavity. 2

Propagation
Both the fruit and the seed float (an adaptation which facilitates dispersal in flowing water). The hard seeds can remain viable for considerable periods in either fresh, brackish or sea water. 8
Pond apple (Annona glabra L.) is a highly flood-tolerant tropical fruit tree species that shows promise as a flood-tolerant rootstock for commercial Annona species. 5

Fertilizing
Pond apples have low nutritional requirements and fertilization is unnecessary. 2

Food Uses
The fruits are of inferior quality compared with closely related species of the same family. 9
The pulp, with a fruity, agreeable taste reminiscent of banana and overripe pineapple, is sometimes eaten fresh. Fully ripe pond apples are used to make jams, jellies, and fruit wine. 9
Some trees do produce nice fruits and the species has its admirers. 10

Medicinal Properties **'

In Guayana, a tea is made from the leaves and used to treat flatworms and nematodes. In parts of its range, the seeds have been crushed and boiled and used externally to get rid of lice. 11

Other Uses
Leaves and seeds are insecticidal. Leaves in hens’ nests kills lice on hens. Its seeds can be used to poison fish. 4
The light and soft wood is used to substitute cork in fishing nets. The fruit can be used as forage for cattle. Softwood and roots are used as fish floats. Bark is an excellent home for orchids and other air plants. 7,8
The Miccosukee used pond apple as a food, but also to make lye and used the wood to make spoons. 11

General
Annona is from the Taino word for the tree. Squamosa means scaly, muricata is roughened, reticulata means netted, and glabra smooth or hairless. 4
The common name alligator apple reflects the fact that alligators in the Everglades swamps of southern Florida sometimes eat the ripe fruits that fall in the water (image below). 9
It needs wet soil; it will grow in clumps, essentially forming islands where birds can roost and breed in relative safety, free of predators like raccoons. Their presence in abundance at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach, have made the preserve an important rookery (nesting spot) for at least a half-dozen species of birds, including anhingas (Anhinga anhinga) and wood storks (Mycteria americana). 11

Other Edibles in the Annona genus:
Soursop (A. muricata)
Sugar apple (A. squamosa)
Ilama (A. macroprophyllata)
Custard Apple (A. reticulata)
Atemoya (A. cherimola x A. squamosa)
