    Whereabouts in the world are you? I didn't think custard apples would grow in U.K. ! Cheers, Tony.

    S. Africa, Tony.
    Custard Apples dont grow in the UK.
    Its possible we might have someone that is growing them in other countries, but not come across anyone yet.

    Tried them once while living in Gib' an interesting flavour, but nothing to write home about. Cheers, Tony.

    I reckon about 10/12 feet, the ones I saw in Madeira were fairly large, any closer than that and in time they would be touching. Just a guess.:smile:
