I’ve been looking for plants in the Annonaceae family to feed to caterpillars and I’d like to know if this is apart of it
What plant is this

Hi
I'm not sure on the exact species, but if the young bark is very fibrous and aromatic it fits all the criteria in leaf and branch structure to be a Annonaceae.If it isn't though you can always use magnolias as I've heard that they can also work, although I've not tried them personally.
Hope this helps,

Maybe it could also be a Diospyros species.
Kind regards

Maybe American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) Diospyros virginiana

To me it looks like a magnolia.
By the way, you propably know that you can use custard apple seeds for your purposes?
What butterflies do you breed?
