Red Custard apple | ആത്ത

Red Custard Apple (Aatha / ആത്ത) is a beautiful tropical fruit tree producing striking rosy-red fruits with sweet, creamy, fragrant white flesh that melts in the mouth. A rarer, ornamental cousin of the classic sitaphal, it’s rich in vitamins and loved eaten fresh or blended into shakes. Plant this hardy sapling in full sun in fertile, well-draining soil, water regularly while young, and enjoy fruit as the tree matures. Drought-tolerant, easy to grow and rewarding, red custard apple is a wonderful addition to home gardens and orchards.
