What a strange looking fruit! I am not familiar with them at all. Do you know it's botanical name or another common name? |

Not sure what the botanical name is but any Queenslander will be familiar with them. They grow well in the tropics. |

Jeez Curnow - never heard of or seen them. Looks like a custard apple with anger management problems ! |

Heard of them, never tried them though.. Custard apples grow well down here so that might grow ok... |

I have had one in the ground for about 8 years.Im in central Qld Coastal I still haven't had any fruit.Its not irrigated survives purely of rain fall and rarely fertilised.It takes a few years to fruit so I am not overly concerned yet. I just don't have enough water to really care for it like it would want and I wanted it to get tough and send out deep roots to survive. Will give it a bit more TLC when I hook up the grey water system. |

Cillidude, ur pretty spot on there, they are in the custard apple family.... but like it a bit more tropical. One of my fave fruits to eat. They like shelter, good soil and water and drainage. |
