In Tagalog, i grew up calling it Atis fruit. My gf who never had it before until we started dating (we have a tree at my house) tried it and its now one of her favorite fruits! Sour sop is one of my personal favorites!
That is the name I learned them by too. My parents are Cubans and one day my dad showed up with one after years of not seeing them. I had no idea what they were. He planted the seeds and now we have like 5 anón trees!
I have a sugar apple tree that I bought in the fall. It has fruit on it. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that it had both varieties on the tree. I thought that some of them got diseased because they were very dark brown. I pulled them off but then I finally realized they were the purple variety. Only two of those left but hopefully I will get a second flush in December as you mentioned. I also wasn't aware that they fruit twice.
Thanks for this lovely video..I have green sugar apple trees in my garden.. i love the fruit its delicious specially ones that have ripened on the tree and you get to pick it just before ants get to it 😊
This fruit originated from South America and was first brought to Philippines via Manila Galleon Trade between Mexico and Filipinas from 1565 to 1815 thus, the fruit cultivation thrive and eventually spread all over tropical and sub-tropical Asia. In the Philippines we named it Atis derived from the word Ata or Atha which native Central and South Americans named this fruit.
I’m from south East asia and I’m surprised most of tropical fruits I ate when I was a kid all claimed from South America on youtube😂 . Now you’re claiming Philippine got it first. I’m from Vietnam and I thought we got it first. I never heard of any fruit that’s Philippine variety
I have sweet memories of Sugar Apples...My great great grandapa & g. g. grandama have a sugar apples farm & they have really big big sugar apples...& one sugar apple is enough for lunch...
I have a green one in my backyard in Florida! Damn rats took some of my small crop. It's a young tree. They benefit greatly from fertilizer. Mine survived hurricane Irma. Good eating! Wish I could find them in stores!
Thank you author for this nostalgic trip to childhood days. We grew up stealing these fruits from the neighbour’s orchards until they were ripe to eat. We would scoop out the seeds and try to repack the outside back again, still hanging on their trees to avoid detection of theft by the neighbour who inevitably always found out our tricks and would come rushing to mum to complain by grabbing our earlobes! How could you resist these fruits with a bombshell of a taste looking like grenades? The repacking exercise was always fruitless!
Mouthwatering fruits. I am growing two sugar apple plants in containers in Chicago. During winter time I move them indoors. Not sure if they ever bear any fruit. One is nearly 2 yrs old and the other one is 6 months old. Do you know what type of fertilizer I should be using for these plants? My other question is: will ship the fruits to Chicago? If so, how much it will cost me? Please let me know.
Thank you for this very informative video. I grew up in the tropics. We have two very large Custard apple trees. The fruits were huge. From memory, they were sweet and sour. Now in Australia, exotic fruits are rare, and I don't go out of my way to locate them. Then by chance I found a tiny sad looking Custard Apple, or I thought it was. I bought it and lo and behold, it tastes nothing like a Custard Apple ! Now I realized that it could have been a Sugar Apple. It is very sweet without any hint of sourness. The flesh is white, firm and segmented, with seeds actually look like those of Custard apples. I do have more than ten seeds from this one fruit. I will germinate them and see what it will become in a few years time.
One of the best most productive fruits for central florida for container growing. Also very easy tree to grow from seed. I find the taste to be like a sweet pear. Needs to be protected from freezing weather and especially frost.
In French west Indies I have heard it called "pomme canelle" which I think sort of means cinnamon apple, I think, but I have never tasted any cinnamon in these.
Very excellent documentary..........narrative & videography ! In Trinidad West Indies we call it sugar apple. Custard apple is significantly bigger with a smooth but patterned skin. Kashima, yellow when ripe with soft skin, is bigger and is a wild variety, shaped like an artichoke. Too, Monkey apple is round, even bigger than Kashima, and has an orange, more fibrous inside. Well, I suppose everyone knows Soursop or Guanabana. Respect. Trinidad & Tobago.
Definitely not a stupid question. Sugar Apple seems like it would do well in a greenhouse. The tree can be kept small, and it can be grown in containers. You might need to hand pollinate. I don't have any experience with growing sugar apple in a greenhouse, but it seems like a good plant to try. Good Luck!
Here in Thailand we call them NOI NA " น้อยหน่า" . I have only one tree in my garden. It fruited so quick and much it's hard to keep up with eating them. When it's in season (mid summer) it's not unusual to have 200 plus fruits on that tree.
I really thought this was an artichoke but I'm glad I watch the video to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me. I'm definitely going to have to try this.
This is my favorite fruit ever. Actually all the annonas are great tasting. I discovered this fruit about six years ago and I now have six trees in the ground and one in a pot.
Very helpful,and interesting. I especially enjoyed all the background you gave about the fruit.Where it originated from,the names people have for it,and how to eat the fruit. Now I think I want to plant a tree. Thank you for sharing 👍🌱
Have you tried the Vietnam variety? They are bigger , meatier with lesser seeds and you eat them by peeling of the skin instead of breaking the in half. I am from the Philippines and I was able to grow them from seeds I brought back.
@Truly Tropical Annona squamosa is most commonly known as Sitaphal (English spelling can vary) throughout India. Sita (pronounced Seetha) is an Indian Hindu goddess and phal means fruit in Hindi. So literal translation is Sita's fruit. Some parts of northern India and Pakistan also call the fruit Sharifa and people in the eastern part call it Ata. Annona reticulata is known as Ramphal - Ram is another Indian god and Sita's husband - so literal translation is Ram's fruit. Sitaphal is more popular overall.
i have a Philippine "Atis" seeds that I brought here in Florida, its as big as grapefruit -- very sweet. The seeds that i have, about 4 star apples size you were harvesting .
Hi Chris, can I grow red sugar apples from seed like I did with my green ones? The green ones are about two years old and like you said, they are producing. Will this happen with the red ones?
Do you offer for sale red and green sugar apple trees , I live on the Treasure Coast and will drive down , I assume the fruit is for sale, if si how much. Also do you have atemoya trees for sale?
We usually have red and green sugar apple trees and atemoya trees for sale. $25 and $35. The green sugar apple is cheaper because it's grown from seed.
Philippines , calls it Atis ...I found one at Asian Market. they told me it's grown in Australia and it's huge. I eat it for 2 days. They don't have it anymore though. I was going to plant the seeds inthe flower pot. but I forgot where I put the seeds.. Viewing from the Midwest.
I look for this fruit for a long time,I come from Cuba to USA 46 year ago and I love to eat this fruit and has been 35 years that I do not eat it and unavaile to find here in florida were iive.
I don't know what part of Florida you are in. My sister is in orlando and has a young sugar apple tree. My father cam from Cuba years ago too and one day found the fruit and planted the seeds. In the plant nurseries in Homestead and the Redlands you can find trees for sale. They produce fruit in the summer so try to look for them at the farmers markets. Miami fruit also sells them so maybe if you cold buy some fruit and plant the seeds. They fruit in 3-5 years. miamifruit.org
Have any questions I have q black in a betal that suck the nectar out of the flour and kills the fruit so it won't bare fruit kiss the flower how prevent them
In Tagalog, i grew up calling it Atis fruit. My gf who never had it before until we started dating (we have a tree at my house) tried it and its now one of her favorite fruits! Sour sop is one of my personal favorites!
You’re lucky!!!
I totally forgot about sugar apples until seeing your video... thank you for bringing back childhood memories.
Yay!
Amazing fruit. Tropical fruits are wonderful and many varieties 👍
Must appreciate nature!
So much wonderful fruits and vegetables originally from South America, truly a sort of paradise many years ago.
El anon! i grew up eating these in the backyard of our house in Cuba. Delicious fruit.
That is the name I learned them by too. My parents are Cubans and one day my dad showed up with one after years of not seeing them. I had no idea what they were. He planted the seeds and now we have like 5 anón trees!

My family and I are now outside picking sweet sops and decided to look up the nutritional benefits. Found this. Nice.
I had a sugar apple tree in my yard when i was a kid in Key West!
I have a sugar apple tree that I bought in the fall. It has fruit on it. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that it had both varieties on the tree.

Eating one while watching this. It tastes so good! I have four plants and this is the second year they've bore fruit. They're only three years old.
Yay!
Definitely a fruit that fruits quickly from seed!

No idea why they're called sugar apples. These aren't apples...

Sugar Apple trees definitely fruit in pots. You might need to supplement the light.
At this time, we don't ship sugar apples. Sorry...

Do you live in an area where it would be possible to grow Sugar Apple? They can fruit 2-3 years from seed
Truly Tropical if it needs a tropical-ish climate..... I'm afraid not :(
Truly Tropical oh wait!! Do you think a tree could be small enough to fit in a medium sized greenhouse?🤔

Hi Chris, can I grow red sugar apples from seed like I did with my green ones? The green ones are about two years old and like you said, they are producing. Will this happen with the red ones?
Green seems to be dominant, so if red Sugar Apples are grown near green ones, your chances of getting red Sugar Apples from seed are much less likely
Do you offer for sale red and green sugar apple trees , I live on the Treasure Coast and will drive down , I assume the fruit is for sale, if si how much. Also do you have atemoya trees for sale?

It's looking delicious I really like to eating sugar apple I Love it enjoy watching greating from Philippines let's connect each other
It should be called "Atis" in America, they likes to call everything apple, sugar apple, apple pear, pineapple. Does it looks like apple to you.
'Apple' is sort of in the same category as 'Sapote'
At least there's less confusion in the botanical nomenclature
😂😂😂 i know right.
Nice trees!
Can't wait for tree to look like yours.
Its called Sharifa in Nepal.

Oh, they look so pretty. I bet they taste yummy. Do you think they will grow in Southwestern Missouri?
Since Sugar Apples are tropical fruit, you would need to bring plants inside whenever the weather got cold. You would need use some grow lights also.
