Custard apple

The fruit is light green in clour, has a conical shape like a heart (there are rounded fruits shaped like an apple) with a scale like exterior similar to the pineapple.The pulp is almost white with soft, smooth (can be grainy) texture and very sweet when riped. Each fruit contains between 30 to 50 shiny black seeds. In Australia, the fruits are harvested green and even when they are soft when lightly pressed, the flesh are not sweet and soft.
