Rollinia Brazilian Custard Apple

The Rollinia fruit tree (Rollinia deliciosa), is a fast-growing tropical tree native to the Amazon, known for its large, spiky yellow-green fruits with creamy, sweet flesh that tastes like lemon meringue pie. It has glossy green leaves and produces fragrant yellow flowers that develop into soft, aromatic fruits, best eaten fresh or used in desserts. This tree thrives in warm, humid climates, prefers well-drained soil and full to partial sun, and needs protection from frost and strong winds. With relatively low maintenance and rapid growth, it’s a popular choice for tropical fruit growers.
