The Mountain Soursop, A. montana Macf. (syns. A. Marcgravii Mart.; A. sphaerocarpa Splitg.; A. Pisonis Mart.)  grows wild from sea-level to 2, 000 ft (650 m) throughout the West Indies and southward into Peru and Brazil, and is cultivated in the Philippines and rarely in Florida. The tree somewhat resembles that of the Soursop but has a more spreading crown and very glossy leaves. It is slightly hardier and bears more or less continuously. The fruit is nearly round or broad-ovoid, to 6 in (15 cm) long. Its dark-green skin is studded with numerous short, fleshy 'spines'. It becomes very soft and falls when ripe. The pulp is yellow, peculiarly aromatic, sour to sub-acid and bitter, fibrous, and contains many light-brown, plump seeds. Evergreen or semi-deciduous tree, tall up to about 10 m, it shows elliptic or lance-shaped leaves, with a length varying up to about 25 cm and a breadth up to 8 cm, of a glossy intense green color on the upper page, paler and dull on the inner one; the leaves, if rubbed, emanate an intense smell. >
	The flowers, which come out on the branches, are usually solitary with a corolla formed by six yellow petals, the three outer ones being pulpy, long about 5 cm and thicker on the apex, the inner three, long about 4 cm, almost closed. The fruits are syncarps (a whole of several simple fruits, grown up at the same time to form an apparently unique fruit), almost spherical, with a diameter up to 15 cm, with the surface of a yellowish green color when ripe and covered by short soft thorns; rather fibrous yellowish pulp, aromatic, with the taste reminding that of the Annona muricata.
Common names: “mountain soursop”, “wild soursop” (English); “cachiman morveux”, “corossol zombie”, “corossolier bâtard”, “kachiman montan” (French); “Schleimapfel” (German); “araticum”, “araticum-açù”, “araticum de paca”, “araticum-ponhe”, “araticù”, “araticunzeiro” (Portuguese); “cimarron”, “guanabana cimarrona”, “guanabana de loma”, “guanabana de las montañas”, “guanabana de monte”, “guanabana de perro”, “taragus”, “turagua” (Spanish). Montana is derived from Latin mons (mountain) meaning ‘of or from mountains’.
Some local South American Indian tribes have used the leaves to impregnate bath water to ease influenza symptoms – and in French Guiana creole medicine employed a leaf decoction as a sedative. Mountain soursop is cultivated locally and its juicy fruit are eaten although many people view it as inedible. In Brazil however it does provide an unusual delicacy. There the stalk and the strongly attached firm core is pulled out from the base of the fruit and the firm core is eaten but the rest of the fruit is discarded. Birds, particularly some parrots, enjoy the fruit even if most humans seem to view it with disparagement.

All good things take time, so I grow my plants and rare palms in my ebay store. Much more to check out or just get a little education on in my store.

All international orders are shipped at the BUYER's RISK  (shipped with or without documents) and no refunds or replacements are offered for Dead On Arrival, loss, confiscation, Customs Seizure, unanticipated charges, etc.	Payment We accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.       Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are NOT eligible for any discount. We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you.  This can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture.  If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity. Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay. COMBINED SHIPPING POLICY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING is not included in this offer. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case basis. We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same PayPal payment. This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY. We ship on Tuesdays. Payment must be received within 4 days of the auction ending.  Combined Discounts Won Auctions For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional items) My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount much as each different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3 days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.
After you purchase	After you Receive your Items.
LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE. For this reason uninsurable. When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. Please have potting media and a container prepared for your plant before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further, which is not good. Proper care is critical upon arrival. It is your responsibility to know how to care for the plant. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. Not every plant that I order through the mail survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to you. Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered). If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery confirmation to make any claim.	All claims need to be supported with Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged, the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit. The expense to send it to you is most of your payment. To send any replacements, I try to piggy back with your next order. Replacement is not an option for CUSTOMS SEIZURE. ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S. - USDA and USPS fees are included in the actual cost of shipping and Handling. Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any reason really because I will block you from any further purchases. Please contact me before eBay if you have any issue. I am the one who can help you. Do not open cases for any reason really because I will block you from any further purchases. I ship items the best and least expensive option. These are coming from Hawaii. The only thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!!

Mahalo iâ `oe no ke kipa `ana mai. E kipa mai hou!	Rare Palm Seeds Fresh Highest Quality Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.   Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
