The custard apple plant, scientifically known as Annona squamosa, is a small, semi-deciduous tree or shrub that typically grows between 3 to 6 meters in height. Its leaves are thin, oblong, and range from 5 to 17 cm in length. The plant bears heart-shaped, greenish-yellow fruits with a bumpy texture. Each fruit measures about 6 to 10 cm in diameter. Custard apples are sweet, creamy, and packed with vitamins C and B6, potassium, and magnesium. They are often consumed fresh, added to desserts, or used in smoothies. The tree thrives in tropical climates and well-drained soil.
