I feel like I wish I wouldn't have seen this post and opened this book.  Now I too want seeds from these fruits.  All those annonas in fact look awesome.  How about that dark red one??  Wow.

Plus about 90% of all the other fruits shown in that book :(
With 3 acres of prime real estate for growing tropicals... why not create my own garden of eden?? Work in progress

Haha, precisely because of this, life will not stop the pace of progress. It's like dragon fruit, very attractive.

Excellent book find! Thanks for posting. Lots of little known fruits described, not just annonas. Book is in spanish, but all of you will understand the great color photos with latin names.
I think it will be very hard to get seeds of those annona species, unless we can find a member in that part of Bolivia or Peru. A fruit safari might be called for to that part of the world.
