CUSTARD-APPLE

The custard-apple (Anona reticulata) is a fruit native to the West Indies, but cultivated in most tropical countries. The fruit is large, and heart-shaped, with a thick, rough exterior, and containing a pulp of a sweet flavour, very cooling and agreeable. To the same genus belong the alligator-apple, sour-sop, sweet-sop, and cherimoyer.
