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.
