Balanagar Custard Apple Sugar Apple Sitafal Ata Grafted Fruit Plant (1.5-3 Feet Height)

Balanagar Custard Apple, a superior grafted variety of Annona squamosa originating from Balanagar India, produces medium-sized round-to-heart-shaped green fruits ripening to purple-brown with sweet creamy custard-like pulp segmented around central seeds, offering rich flavor superior to common sitafal. This high-yielding adaptable cultivar thrives across diverse Indian climates from arid dry zones to humid tropics, delivering early fruiting within 2 years from grafted plants compared to 4+ years for seed-grown, making it ideal for home gardens, pots, or commercial orchards. The 1.5–3 feet sapling establishes rapidly with strong branching, low water needs, and excellent drought tolerance once rooted.​
