I like it

loved this as a child, very difficult to find now.

Just found a tree back of my house in a neighbor's property.

known as soncoya,sincoya, and cabeza de negro...it is and in the same family as the soursop and cherimoya(annona purpurea)

I know this fruit as a Monkey Apple, in Southern Trinidad. The best fruit ever, great flavor. The aroma is amazing like no fruit ever.

I know it as Monkey Apple, we ate it with milk (I don’t know why but we did)
