Introducing the Annona squamosa, a tropical treasure that brings a taste of paradise to your garden or orchard. Also known as the Sugar Apple or Custard Apple, this exquisite fruit-bearing tree is revered for its delectable flavour, unique appearance, and rich cultural heritage.

The Annona squamosa showcases a compact and bushy growth habit, adorned with glossy, dark green leaves that create a lush and inviting canopy. Come springtime, this captivating tree bursts into bloom, displaying fragrant, pale green flowers that give way to a bountiful harvest of mouth-watering fruit.

The fruit of the Annona squamosa is a true delight for the senses. Its unique shape resembles a scaly apple, with a textured, segmented skin that ranges in colour from green to yellow. When fully ripe, the fruit yields to gentle pressure, revealing a creamy white flesh that is incredibly smooth and custard-like in texture. Each bite unveils a tantalizing blend of sweet and slightly tangy flavours, reminiscent of tropical paradise.

Cultivating the Annona squamosa is a rewarding journey, as it thrives in warm, tropical climates. With proper care, including well-draining soil, regular watering, and ample sunlight, this tree will flourish and reward you with a generous harvest of its luscious fruits.

Annona squamosa, the sugar-apple, sweetsop, or sugar-pineapple, is a species in the Annonaceae family that is native to the tropical Americas and widely grown for its fragrant, juicy, and flavourful fruit, which contains more vitamin C than an orange. Sugar-apple is the most widely cultivated of tropical fruits in the family, which includes cherimoya (A. cherimola), sugar-apple (A. squamosa), and paw paw (Asimina triloba).
