As the name suggests, these fruits are intensely sweet. Very commonly available in India, and much of Asia I imagine! #fruit #gyo #urbangardening

Very nice! It's very similar to one we have here in Brazil.

We Aussies call them Custard Apple as they are soft fleshy inside with many black seeds.

We call them custard apple too @jolene @leisel ☺️ but before posting this, I did some reading and apparently, that's a name shared by several species depending on the country.. so I stuck to the unique common name 🙂 Annona reticulata has the common name custard Apple.

@gjones it's intensely sweet and when it ripens, the individual circular segments you see crack and loosen. I don't like it but it's generally considered to be very scrummy. I can see why, but it's a personal bias 😅 my grandpapa had a farm where he grew these amongst other fruit varieties
