Seedling Custard Apple Fruits for First Time
« on: May 11, 2018, 10:35:47 PM »
My seedling red Custard Apple tree fruited for the first time. I’m VERY excited. It only boar one fruit. Flesh was mostly white with very little pink in it which is not quite what I’m accustomed to. It was not gritty but it was of medium sweetness.  Is it likely that sweetness may increase as the tree ages or is it what I can expect going forward? Admittedly I’m not fully versed in annonas

Johnny,

How many years did it take to fruit?   I have a 1 year old seedling that is starting to put on some good growth but I know i'm still a long ways away from tasting.

thanks

3 and a half years. It’s about 7 ft tall. My 4 ft San Pablo flowered like crazy last year but produced no fruit. I’m confident this year it will hold several fruit
