Sugar Apple or Sweetsop (Annona squamosa),
an interesting tropical American fruit in the custard apple family (Annonaceae).
Soft, ripe sugar apples have a sweet, custard-like pulp containing several
shiny seeds. They are a popular Caribbean dessert, eaten raw (preferably
chilled) and in fruit salads, ice creams and drinks.
Sweetsop is the lowland Sugar Apple. The
fruit is fragrant, firm, and it has a snowy-white flesh of a fine texture.
They are generally conical to heart shaped, and may weigh up to 1 pound or
more. The flesh is divided into segments. The yield may be increased through
hand pollination.
|
The
Sweetsop is one of the easier to grow and more rewarding tropical fruits. Sweetsop is a
very easy plant to grow in containers and will grow tropical bonsai trees in large pots.
These can be placed on the patio in the summers then inside during the winter months.
There are some tropical trees that dont require as much light as most flowering
fruit trees. Sugar Apple is one of them. Sweetsop seem to fruit nicely in containers.
Small tree. 3 to 5 meters high. Leaves are hairy when young, oblong, 8 to 15
cm long, with a petiole 1 to 1.5 cm long. Flowers occur singly in the axils
of the leaves, about 2.5 cm long, pendulous, three-angled, light green to
yellow. Fruit is large, slightly heart-shaped, 6 to 9 cm long, the outside
with knobby polygonal tubercles. When ripe, the fruit is light
yellowish-green, with a white, sweet soft, delicious and juicy flesh.

The Sweetsop tree is smaller than that of most other species of the genus. Like the
Cherimoya, it is semi-deciduous. The 2 1/2 to 4 inches long leaves are lanceolate or
oblong-lanceolate in form and pale green on both surfaces. The scent of the
leaves is pleasant and strong when you’re close to it. The Sweetsop plant
itself is very pretty and even without fruit makes a lovely indoor or patio
tree. Plant in well drained location. This small Sweetsop tree needs quick
dry-off to thrive, likes a slope in full sun, tolerant of salt laden air at
seaside
The fruit is amazing. The fruit has a nice custard-like
texture and is delicious. The fruit is round, heart-shaped, ovate or conical, 2 to 3 inches
in diameter, yellowish green, green, pink or purple in color. The surface is tuberculate
and covered with a whitish bloom. The pulp is white, custard-like, sweet and slightly
acidulous in flavor..

Atis is the Philippine name
for sweet sop or sugar Apple. This strange-looking fruit, which looks like
an alien space ball, is actually native to Central America, the Caribbean and
northern South America. The fruit was introduced to the Philippines during
the Spanish times when Spain and Central America were actively engaged in
the galleon trade of the 16th century. One can say that the Atis is one of
the many ’souvenirs’ from the Philippines’ Spanish colonial past.
It takes some patience to eat this
fruit. Its sweet soft flesh is literally pock-marked with small black seeds,
each individual pod practically containing several small seeds. It is only
eaten when fully ripened, spooned out, and while sucking on the fleshy parts
the black seeds can easily be spitted out.
The bark, roots and leaves of the
Atis
tree are known to contain medicinal properties, and before modern drugs were
introduced in the Philippines, the bark or leaves are used to treat
diarrhea, colds, fevers, insect bites and a host of other minor ailments.

Payment
We
accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for
in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the
mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN
BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for
discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because
of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be
done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your
items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.
Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to
eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case
basis.
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
For this reason uninsurable.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it.
Please have potting media and a container prepared for your plant
before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any
mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further,
which is not good. Proper care is critical upon arrival. It is your
responsibility to know how to care for the plant.
Not every plant that I order through
the mail survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I
order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there
is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip
to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered
to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to
you.
Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it
arrived damaged. From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from
delivery confirmation to make any claim.
|
All claims need to be supported with
Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged,
the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and
understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit.
The expense to send it to you is most
of your payment. To send any replacement (s), I try to piggy back with
your next order.
Replacement is not an option for
CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA
CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S.-
USDA and USPS fees are included in the actual cost of shipping and
Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my
detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any reason really because I
will block you from any further purchases. I ship items the best and least expensive
option. These are coming from Hawaii. The only
thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items
promptly via best method--if you feel like the combined shipping fee is
wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me-I value your
business and will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very
generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Highest Quality
Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised.
Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
