description
Netzannons are trees up to 8 meters high. There are two to ten bushy flowers on their young branches , whose fruit-bearing flower stalks can be up to 3.5 centimeters long. The ovaries grow together to form a heart-shaped, egg-shaped or spherical structure, which is usually 7.5 by 7 to 10.5 by 8 centimeters in size, but in individual cases can also be up to twelve by ten centimeters. The leathery, thin outermost part of the epidermis , the exocarp , is supple and turns reddish to reddish brown in the maturation process. The slightly floury, sweet pulp is cream-colored to grayish white. The dark brown seeds are elongated.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 14.
Occurrence
The Netzannone is native to the tropical hill country of America in Guatemala and Nicaragua. However, it is now also thriving in other tropical regions of the world that have a subtropical climate due to their altitude. For example, it can also be found in South Florida , India , Pakistan and Thailand .
