Annona glabra
Commonly known as the Pond-apple, this tropical fruit tree is in the family Annonaceae, in the same genus as the Soursop and Cherimoya. It is known by the alternate names Alligator-apple, Corkwood, Bobwood, and Monkey-apple. The name Alligator-apple derives from the fact that alligators sometimes eat the fruit.

The tree is native to the West Indies and Florida, and is common in the Everglades. It grows in swamps, is tolerant of salt water, and cannot grow in dry soil. The trees grow to a height of around 10-12 m. They have thin, gray trunks and sometimes grow in clumps. The leaves are ovate to oblong with an acute tip, 8-15 cm long and 4-6 cm broad. The fruit is oblong to spherical and apple-sized or larger, 7-15 cm long and up to 9 cm diameter, and falls when it is green or ripening yellow. It disperses by floating to new locations, and it is food for many animal species.

I launched at JD and rode the tide up the river and back down with low tide. The full moon had a big affect on the tides.TFTH
