Can anyone identify this annona tree
« on: September 20, 2021, 09:31:35 PM »
It was sold to me as a guava.. but it's definitely in the annona family. Anyone know what kind? I'm thinking maybe atemoya?

Custard apple (annona reticulata)
I think Rollinia leaves are more glabrous and larger, and the new growth is whiter and sometimes even pink.

It is amazing how many fruit trees lose there ID tags or never had them in the first place. I think Rule 1 in the tropical fruit growers guideline addresses this.
