Log in to view prices

Bold, tropical, and naturally striking, Pond Apple brings a lush, vibrant feel to the landscape. Known for its vigorous growth and adaptability, this tropical fruit tree thrives in warm, moisture-rich environments where it develops dense green foliage and distinctive fruit with a soft, custard-like texture.

Pond Apple thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. This tropical tree tolerates heat and humidity well and can adapt to wetter conditions than many other fruiting varieties. Water regularly during active growth, especially in dry periods, and protect from frost or prolonged cold temperatures. Fertilize during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and establishment.
