Annona reticulata is a small deciduous or semi-evergreen tree in the plant family Annonaceae.[5] It is best known for its fruit, called custard apple,[2] a common name shared with fruits of several other species in the same genus: A. cherimola[6] and A. squamosa.[7] Other English common names include ox heart and bullock's heart.[2][8] The fruit is sweet and useful in preparation of desserts, but is generally less popular for eating than that of A. cherimola.[9]
