The Sugar Apple tree, also known as the ‘annona squamosal’, is a unique tropical tree that’s the clear winner amongst its competition because it produces a distinctive fruit with an individual look and tropical flavor that blows people away. Sugar apples taste like a sweet vanilla custard with a hint of pineapple. Its smooth and slightly grainy texture makes this fruit a delight to snack on. While most Sugar Apples are eaten fresh, they can also be used in desserts and for making juices. Don’t fight yourself from eating one Sugar Apple after another, because they are loaded with Antioxidants & Packed with vitamins and nutrients like Vitamin A, C, potassium and more. Sugar Apples are the perfect refreshing and healthy snack. Sugar Apples, often referred to as ‘sweetsops’, have a unique shape, similar to a heart and light green skin that’s divided up into sections. Its conical nature causes the fruit to look like a green pinecone at first, but since the fruit is split among different sections it’s very easy to split apart and eat fresh, right off the tree. Once you pull your Sugar Apple apart you’ll find soft and creamy flesh on the inside that’s divided into sections. Simply pick out the white flesh sections one by one and eat them for a rush of rich tropical flavors. Trees will grow from 10-20 feet tall.
You don’t have to live without Sugar Apple trees, because they will grow anywhere. They’ll give your landscape a lush tropical feel if planted in the ground, and they also thrive in containers. They can be placed around porches, patios, and inside any room to liven it up with their long and slender exotic leaves.

1) Sugar apple seeds may take 30 days or longer to germinate. Speeding up the process is possible, but it cuts down on the percentage of seeds that will germinate. If you choose to accelerate the germination process, treat the seeds before planting by either soaking them in room-temperature water for three days or by scarifying them by aggressively rubbing with sandpaper. Be sure to Change water Daily. Although there are several ways to accomplish scarification breaking or weakening the seed coat….the easiest and safest ways include using baby nail clippers to snip a tiny opening in the seed coat ( Not too deep) or rubbing the seed between two pieces of rough grit sandpaper will work.
2) The sugar apple has a deep taproot and you’ll need a deep container.
meant for trees to accommodate it. Plant the sugar apple seeds 3/4-inch deep into the moist planting mix. Place the container in a shaded area using a heated propagator to be sure the temperature remains above 70 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination, but be careful not to overwater it or the seeds will rot.
