Custard apple (Annona squamosa) is a genus of Annona native of the tropical Americas and West Indies.  In warmer climates it will grow up to 10 m height and will produce spherical to conical fruit with a thick rind composed of knobby segments. As a tropical plant, Custard Apple will need protection from freezing in colder climates.

Preparation: Soak the seeds in tepid water for about three-four days, change the water after the first day.

Sowing: Sow the seeds in sowing compost with coir, vermiculite or sand. Sow the seeds around 1 cm deep in the growing medium and place them in either a propagator or cover with a plastic bag to maintain temperature and humidity. Once small shoots appear, move the seedling into good compost mixed with sand or vermiculite.

Required temperature to germinate: Daytime 22-25⁰C/Night 15-20⁰C

Germination time: 2-8 weeks

Tip: Custard Apple seeds have very hard shell, so gentle scarification with nail clippers or sandpaper will aid germination.

EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY!
