Apple trees are large if grown from seed. Generally, apple cultivars are propagated by grafting onto rootstocks, which control the size of the resulting tree. There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples, resulting in a range of desired characteristics. Different cultivars are bred for various tastes and use, including cooking, eating raw and cider production. Trees and fruit are prone to a number of fungal, bacterial and pest problems, which can be controlled by a number of organic and non-organic means.
Annona reticulata
Annona reticulata is a small deciduous or semi-evergreen tree in the plant family Annonaceae.
It is best known for its fruit, called custard apple, a common name it shares with fruits of several other species in the same genus: "A. cherimola" and "A. squamosa" or sometimes it is called wild-sweetsop, bull's heart, bullock's-heart, or ox-heart. The flavor of the fruit is sweet and pleasant, but less popular than that of "A. cherimola"
