Fruit-Sugar Apple (Annona squamosa) 10" Pot

Overview:
The Sugar Apple, also known as Annona squamosa or Sweetsop, is a delicious tropical fruit tree prized for its uniquely textured fruit with a sweet, custard-like flavor. The sugar apple’s green, heart-shaped fruit has a bumpy surface and soft, creamy flesh inside, making it a favorite for fresh eating or use in desserts. This compact, fast-growing tree can be grown in pots, making it ideal for small spaces like patios or balconies, or it can be planted in the ground for larger gardens. The Sugar Apple is a must-have for fruit lovers seeking to grow exotic, tropical fruit at home.

Light/Water Requirements:

  • Light: Thrives in full sun for best fruit production. Be sure to provide at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to ensure healthy growth and high-quality fruit.
  • Water: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. While the Sugar Apple is somewhat drought-tolerant once established, regular watering is essential during the growing and fruiting seasons.

Size Information:

  • Comes in a 10" pot, suitable for patios, balconies, or small gardens.
  • When planted in the ground, the Sugar Apple can grow up to 10-20 feet tall, but it can be maintained at a smaller, manageable size when grown in containers.

Ideal for:

  • Outdoor spaces such as patios, balconies, or edible gardens where its attractive foliage and sweet fruit can be appreciated.
  • Perfect for fruit enthusiasts looking to grow a tropical tree that produces delicious and exotic fruit at home.

Care Tips:

  • Fertilize during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and fruiting.
  • Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage better air circulation and more fruit production.
  • The Sugar Apple prefers well-draining soil and performs best in warm, tropical to subtropical climates.

Pet-Friendliness Rating:
4/5 – The Sugar Apple fruit is non-toxic to pets, but avoid letting pets eat the seeds, as they can be harmful if consumed in large quantities.
