Very nice pictures Richard. Please report back when one ripens up. I'd love to see what it looks like when ripe.
I agree, does sounds like a good tree indeed. I was confused because TopTropicals also has a variety of sugar apple called Vietnames Na Di. Also seeing a couple sugar apples in the local area with a tag that says Vietnames. I would imagine they all came for Toptropical. Sound like what have is even better though.
Na Dai Sugar apples ripening up quickly...I had some bull ants that were making a nest right above one of the fruits, they kept accumulating bits of soil from the pot, and piling it up on the stem of the fruit. I guess they knew which fruit would be ripe first, or they have a way of hastening the process....but the fruit they had a nest on, was the first to ripen up.I hosed off the ants, and stole the foundation for their house, and the meal they were waiting for! the sugar apple was ready to eat right off the tree...and it had minimal seeds...I definitely prefer these to ordinary sugar apples you find at the Asian markets here in the Orlando FL area.here is the fruit the ants were living onsame fruit cut open another larger fruit that was ready to be picked, but not ripe yet.
I read the threads with great interest. To see if my understanding is correct. The sugar apple variety that RichardN had is not the Na Di which being sold at Top Tropical. Man, I would love to have that sugar apple or some seeds of it. RichardN, please tell me what to do to get some seeds from you. Thanks
