No Markets here ever get Custard Apples either so I'm not sure what you are talking about?

Oh, I wasn't talking about Annona reticula, I was talking about Annona squamosa, and I've seen them at Whole Foods.

In the United States, squamosa is usually referred to as sugar apple while reticulata is known as custard apple.

Oh? Thanks for the info., the sign on them said "Custard apple" though, probably for selling reasons because custard sounds more appetizing than sugar.

Grocery stores and markets often get the names of less common fruit incorrect. They even get the names of common fruit incorrect. I've seen "Honeybell Oranges" at Whole Foods.

edit: Sugar apples are also called Custard Apples in some other countries and that may have caused the mix up as well.
