The Ramfal plant, scientifically named Annona reticulata, is a tropical deciduous fruit tree belonging to the Annonaceae family — the same family as the Custard Apple (Annona squamosa). Popularly known in India as Ramfal, this plant is admired for its heart-shaped, soft, and sweet fruits, which are packed with nutrients and medicinal properties.
The name Ramfal, meaning “Fruit of Lord Ram,” holds traditional importance in Indian culture. It is often grown alongside Sitafal and other tropical fruit trees in home gardens and orchards.
The Ramfal tree is a medium-sized deciduous plant that typically grows between 4 to 8 meters in height. It develops a rounded canopy with a spreading crown and dense light-green foliage.
Leaves: Simple, oblong, and aromatic, 10–20 cm long with a glossy texture.
Flowers: Small, greenish-yellow, fragrant, and appear in clusters on young branches.
Bark: Light brown and smooth when young, becoming slightly rough as it ages.
Ramfal trees are fast-growing and start producing fruits within 3 to 4 years under good care.
The Ramfal fruit is large, round to heart-shaped, and slightly smoother than the Sitafal fruit.
Color: Reddish-brown to yellowish-green when ripe
Skin: Thin but firm, with a faint reticulated (net-like) pattern
Pulp: Soft, creamy, and aromatic — usually white to pinkish in color
Seeds: Numerous, glossy black or brown
Taste: Mildly sweet, less sugary than Sitafal, with a rich custard-like flavor
The fruit is typically harvested from October to January, depending on the region. A well-grown tree can yield 40–80 fruits per season.
Ramfal is a hardy tropical plant that thrives in warm and semi-dry climates.

Grafted plants bear fruit faster (within 2 years).
