Sugar Apple - Sweetsop - Annona Squamosa - Custard Apple
A small, spreading tree with curious-looking, green fruits about the size of a large apple. The inside of the fruit holds numerous blackish seeds embedded in creamy, soft, white flesh that is very sweet and wonderfully aromatic and is considered one of the world's tastiest fruits. It is thought to originate in Central and South America but is widespread in cultivation today. It is best adapted to tropical climates and is the most heat tolerant in the genus.

I received my seeds. I have just planted them so I have not seen any growth but I am excited. They also gave me a tomatillo seed for free and I thought that was fun. They were packaged nicely and came in a timely fashion.
