With its greenish yellowish flowers, custard apple conforms to the ‘wild oats’ phenomenon for producing multiple fruits, each cluster developing from individual flowers that sprout into a huge fruit bunch.

The fruit does well in most parts of Kenya as it is preconditioned to grow in tropical and some temperate climes. Even though custard apples prefer humid conditions, it is possible to grow them in semi-arid regions. This is where the soil is aerated, well-drained, and loamy with high natural mineral composition, though even some varieties can perform in poor soils. The pH range suitable for optimal growth is from 5.0 to 8.0.

Custard apples suffer from skin discoloration and splitting when under temperature strains lower than 13 degrees Celsius in the later stages of fruit development. To reduce this problem, sites with relatively warm temperatures are recommended.

Temperatures of 25 degrees Celcius, during flowering (from October to February) are favorable for good fruition. At temperatures beyond 28 degrees Celcius, custard apples produce more exuberance in stem and canopy but fewer flowers, leading to the drying of some parts, a reason they do not thrive in coastal tropical areas and hot inland regions.

It is essential to ensure soil moisture is available, consistently, during the fruit setting and maturation stages to hike yields and lower fruit splitting. The remedy for the best Kenya custard apple variety is irrigation.
