Editing Annona crassiflora (section)

=== Sun and humidity ===

Native stands grow in the seasonally dry tropical Cerrado, where the climate is hot with rainy summers and a dry winter (roughly April–September); across most of the region annual rainfall is 800–2000 mm and the mean annual temperature is 18–28 °C.<sup id="cite_ref-6">[[#cite_note-6|[6]]]</sup> The marolo is therefore accustomed to strong seasonal sun and a pronounced dry season rather than constant humidity. Documented nursery shading is modest: the grafting-compatibility work held plants in a 50% shade nursery with sprinkler irrigation.<sup id="cite_ref-7">[[#cite_note-7|[7]]]</sup>
