If you have never tested the fruit from the Annona squamosa or sugar-apple it is very sweet and kid of taste like custard. The fruit is about 4-8oz when mature. Our tree is has been loaded with blooms for a month or so and now has fruit developing. The fruit usually matures in late summer and early fall.

Our poor Royal Poinciana :( . It gets badly burned every winter, even when the low was 31 for about an hour. It started off about 15 foot and this 2nd summer we have cut it back to almost 2 feet. It has grows well in this heat though.

Big Tex, You are not afraid to stretch the zones and those are two great examples that I would not believe to find in Houston. That Royal Poincianna looks like a Bonsai!

Thanks Bubba. Yea, I 'm not afraid, but every winter I pay the price! But I always do it again.
