Another Plant I would love to grow but couldn’t here as it would need a warmer winter…. although they were selling saplings in the local Asda supermarket and I was tempted…. but we have grown stuff like this before… custard apple… only to have it finally give up the ghost in our cool late springs. It i great fruit though…. I think Robbie could manage growing it in South Africa….Over to you Robbie…..
