Annona reticulata
Annona reticulata is a small deciduous or semi-evergreen tree that bears yellow-green flowers followed by fruit known as custard-apples with a sweet, pleasant, taste, but which is less popular than the fruit of Annona cherimola.
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Plant in any free-draining soil, in full sun.
Propagating by cuttings
From Late Summer TO Early Autumn
Take semi- ripe cuttings from this season's growth in Autumn. Cut neatly, just below a leaf node, a 5" approx. piece of a healthy shoot that has soft growth at the tip. pinch out the growing tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
