I enjoyed some delicious red sugar apples off of my tree this year. $1 per seed, 10 seed min. $3 shipping. US only.

John,
Is you plant grown in ground or pot?  I'm also zone 9b and wanting to know if this can be grown in ground with winter protection.  Can you describe the flavor and texture of the fruit?

Thanks

My tree is in a 10-15 gal pot. I don't bring it inside in the winter, it can take brief frost, but may have some dieback. People regularly grow these in the ground in my area, a guy a few streets over from me has sugar apple in the ground and it's doing great.

Flavor wise it's a very sweet fruity custard taste, some grit near the peel. They are not the easy peel firmer flesh variety. I really enjoy them and they do well in this climate.
