Mexican Custard Apple Fruit Trees

Mexican Custard Apple split in half

Notice the coloured skin of the Mexican custard apple

These photos were taken last month of our Mexican custard apple Fruit Trees. Notice their coloured skin and creamy/white sweet flesh. They are in the same family as normal custard apples and cherimoyas. During mail order to your home they are quite sensitive and their leaves yellow and some fall off. However once settled this quickly reverses and are quite a hardy tree long term. Trees can get quite large and they take about 5 years before fruiting. They do only need 1 tree to set fruit. #mexicanCustardApple #daleysfruit #fruittrees

Red ilama - Strawberry Taste, Custard Apple texture with Steve Trenerry

The Annona Diversifolia or common name Red ilama is one for backyards because they need to be picked after the split but before they drop to the ground and shatter. The Texture, colour and taste will have you in awe. We shared this experience and learnt from Steve Trenerry a very active passionate fruit tree collector.

Please Note: This is not currently available from Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery but may be in the future if trials are successful in our subtropical climate.
