Kampong Mauve Sugar Apple

Botanical Name: Annona squamosa Kampong Mauve

Common Names: Kampong Mauve Sugar Apple, Purple Sweetsop

The Kampong Mauve is a stunning purple sugar apple. It is a rare, tropical treat for your garden. The fruit has deep purple skin and tastes like sweet vanilla custard. It is a small tree, so it is perfect for smaller backyards or big pots.

Features:

Ideal prune height: 2-5m

Sun exposure: mostly shaded when young, 20% shade after year 5

Pollination: Self-pollinating

Time to fruit: 2-4 years

Pot suitability: Great for 35L plus pots

This tree likes warm spots. It hates frost, so keep it in a pot if your area gets cold. The fruit is ready when it turns a bit soft and the gaps between the bumps look a little creamy. It is best eaten fresh or in ice cream.

Interesting Notes:

The purple colour shows up when the fruit is just the size of a marble. This tree is a favourite for collectors because it looks amazing and tastes even better. It is a real show-off in any food forest.
