The Sugar-apple (Annona squamosa), also known in English as Sweetsop and Custard-apple and is known as araticum and pinha in Brazil, is a species of Annona native to the tropical Americas. It is a deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub or small tree reaching 8 m tall. The leaves are alternate, simple, oblong-lanceolate, 7-12 cm long and 3-4 cm broad. The flowers are produced in clusters of 3-4, each flower 2-3 cm across, with six petals, yellow-green spotted purple at the base.
The fruit is usually round or slighly pine cone-like, 6-10 cm diameter, with a scaly or lumpy skin. The fruit flesh is white, and resembles and tastes like custard. The name "custard-apple" is frequently, though technically incorrectly, used to refer to this species.
It is the most widely cultivated of all the species of Annona, being grown widely throughout the tropics and warmer subtropics. Different cultures have their unique names for the sugar-apple. For instance, in Latin America it is known by a variety regional names such as anón, anón de azucar, anona blanca, fruta do conde, cachiman, and many others. The Taiwanese call the sugar-apple Sakya (Traditional Chinese: é迦; pinyin: shìjiÄ; Taiwanese: sek-khia, sek-kia) because one variety resembles the top part of Sakyamuni's (é迦çå°¼) head. It is also known as Budda Head in Taiwan. In India it is commonly called Sitaphal (literally meaning "Sita fruit"). In Vietnam, it is called "na". In the Philippines it is called atis. In Hawaii it's often referred to as a Rollinia, based on the scientific name for a related tree, Rollinia deliciosa or R. mucosa.
