How to Grow Custard Apple from Seeds

1. Seed Preparation – Soak seeds in water for 24 hours to soften the hard coat and speed up germination
2. Sowing – Plant seeds 1–2 cm deep in well-drained sandy loam soil, either in pots, grow bags, or directly in the ground. Maintain warm soil (around 25–30 °C) for best results.
3. Germination – Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Seeds usually sprout in 3–4 weeks, sometimes longer.
4. Transplanting – Once seedlings reach 10–15 cm with a few true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or an open field, spacing plants 3–4 meters apart.
5. Sunlight & Location – Choose a warm, tropical or subtropical site with full sun exposure for healthy growth.
6. Watering & Care – Water regularly but allow soil to dry slightly between watering. Mulching helps retain moisture and control weeds.
7. Growth & Maintenance – Young plants grow into small trees (3–6 m). Light pruning improves shape and airflow. Apply organic compost or farmyard manure annually.
8. Harvesting – Custard apple trees start bearing fruit in about 3–4 years. Fruits are medium to large (5–10 cm diameter) and can be picked when skin turns slightly soft and begins to split.
