Custard Apples



Here’s another very strange looking fruit that is surprisingly tasty! The Custard-apple is a species of Annona. The tree that bears these fruits is a semi-evergreen tree sometimes reaching 33 feet.tall and a native of the tropical New World that prefers low elevations, and a warm, humid climate. I got this one from a neighbor so I am not yet sure what the tree looks like. The flesh of the fruit is smooth, sweet and tasty. It does have sizable seeds throughout the flesh but that is a minor inconvenience. This is one fruit I would actually plant!
