Custard Apple Tree

Scientific Name: Annona reticulata

Common Names: Custard Apple, Sugar Apple

Overview: Annona reticulata, commonly known as custard apple or sugar apple, is a tropical fruit tree celebrated for its deliciously sweet and aromatic fruits. Originating from the Americas, this small to medium-sized tree boasts glossy, dark green leaves and distinctive, heart-shaped fruits with a textured, greenish-brown skin. When ripe, the fruit’s skin yields to gentle pressure, revealing a creamy, custard-like flesh speckled with shiny black seeds. The flavor of Annona reticulata is a delightful blend of sweet and tangy notes, reminiscent of a tropical paradise. To thrive, plant this tree in a warm, sunny location with well-draining soil.
