Junglesop Live Plants (Anonidium Mannii)

Fast-growing Anonidium Mannii, a tropical African tree, is indigenous to Ghana, Gabon, Tropical Africa, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The tree is reputed to produce the second-largest fruit on the planet. After around ten years, Junglesope starts to yield fruits seasonally. The largest Annonaceae and second-largest fruit in the world, the Junglesope normally weighs 4 to 7 kg but can reach 15 kg on rare occasions.

Its distinctive flavour, which can range from sweet to sour depending on the genetics of the particular tree and the ripeness of the fruit at the time of harvest, has a soft yellow-orange flesh. In Junglesop, vitamin A is in great supply.
