Sugary ways ...

Scientific name: Annona squamosa
Sugar apple or custard apple is a small tropical tree, native to Amazone rain forests. It grows to a height of 20'. The leaves are thin and oblong, flowers are oblong, 1 to 1.5" long, greenish yellow in colour. The flowers are with 3 fleshy outer petals, which never opens fully. The fruit is very tasty, and i am very fond of it! This tree is cultivated around the world for its delicious fruits. This photograph was taken on 20th Dcember, 2011 just in front of my home in my native which is planted and nurtured by my father.
