Custard Apple

We like the fruit, so when I saw one of these about ten years ago, I bought it and planted it out. It's taken a while, but it started flowering three years ago, and produced two fruit. Last year it flowered profusely, but nothing set.


I planted seeds from the fruit, and they sprouted quite readily, so I've got two of them growing in black plastic bags. An experiment - there's no room for more.

Maybe hand pollination will help this year, if it gets flowers. There's nothing showing yet.

Update 2015/11/27:



At last signs of buds. I'd nearly given up. Will need to keep an eye on these, and hand pollinate.
