This long-lived tree grows slowly but can reach 60 to 100 feet in height after many years. Sapodilla trees are well-adapted to subtropical and tropical climates. Young custard apple trees can suffer severe damage or even death at temperatures of -1 to 0°C (30 to 32°F) or lower, but mature trees can survive for several hours at temperatures around -3°C (26°F) without significant damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustork apple trees are valued for their ornamental qualities and can be used in landscaping. Their leaves are evergreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung custard apple trees have been observed to lose leaves or weaken due to lack of water; therefore, they should be watered regularly during dry periods. Mature custard apple trees are drought-tolerant. However, for optimal fruit yield and quality, regular irrigation is recommended during the long dry period from flowering to harvest. In home gardens, well-grown custard apple trees typically do not require regular watering to achieve satisfactory yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe custard apple fruit is an edible berry with a brown, scaly skin. The fruit is conical, 5 to 7.5 cm in diameter, and weighs 50 to 225 grams. The flesh is brownish-yellowish-brown and has a sweet and delicious flavor. When the fruit reaches its maximum size, it can be harvested and allowed to ripen naturally under the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrees grown from seeds are not exactly the same as the parent tree.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeedLures","offers":[{"title":"1piece","offer_id":48469196177667,"sku":"RXGSM-1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/0607\/2835\/files\/il_1140xN.1155168667_3qyg.webp?v=1782293940","url":"https:\/\/seedlures.com\/products\/sapodilla-seedlings","provider":"SeedLures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
