Annona reticulata, also known as the custard apple or sugar apple, is a small tree that grows well in warm climates. Annona reticulata is a quick-growing deciduous tree with a rounded or spreading crown. Plants of this species are commonly seen in tropical garden plots across the globe. The fruit is rich in beneficial nutrients like magnesium and potassium and contains antioxidants

Sunlight and sun tolerance

The plants have medium sun tolerance. However, they would require adequate sunlight for their proper growth.

Cold tolerance

Annona reticulata is not tolerant to frosts. After it is established, the plant may be able to withstand short light frost.

Soil

Growing Annona reticulata requires a location that has a relatively low elevation, deep, rich soil; an abundance of water; and good drainage. They are able to survive in a variety of soil types, but they do best in well-drained, medium-grade soil that has a pH between 6.5-7.6 and moderate fertility.

Water

When the tree enters its dormant period, you should stop providing it with water altogether and instead give it a thorough soaking every two weeks. Midwinter is the time to fertilize cherimoyas with a balanced fertilizer such as 8-8-8, and then do so again every three months after that. Until the tree starts producing fruit, you should keep increasing this quantity each year.

Climate

There is a degree of variation in the degree to which each species of annona originates from the tropics and thrives in hot, dry climates. When the Custard Apple is blossoming, it needs a hot, dry climate, but when it’s setting fruit, it needs high humidity. Flowering happens in May when the weather is hot and dry, while fruit setting happens when the monsoon season starts. Pollination and fertilization might suffer when humidity levels are too low.
