Product Description

The Red Custard Apple Tree, also known as Annona reticulata, is a tropical fruit tree native to Central and South America. It is highly valued for its delicious and sweet fruit, which is commonly known as custard apple or bullock's heart.

The fruit of the Red Custard Apple Tree is large, heart-shaped, and has a bumpy or knobby outer skin. When ripe, the skin turns from green to a reddish or purplish color, hence the name "Red" Custard Apple. The flesh of the fruit is creamy white and soft, with a custard-like texture. It has a sweet and aromatic flavor.
The Red Custard Apple is typically eaten fresh, scooping out the soft flesh and discarding the seeds. The flesh can also be used in smoothies, desserts, ice creams, and other culinary creations.

2.Cultivation: The Red Custard Apple Tree prefers well-drained, fertile soils for optimal growth.
