Purple
Purple-form sugar apple with sweet white flesh; avoid waterlogging. Additional notes from duplicate entry: The Purple Sugar Apple is a and variation of the more common green sugar apple (also known as sweetsop), cherished for its unique appearance and exquisite flavour. The fruit is typically the size of a apple, around 5-13 cm in diameter, and is covered in knobby, scale-like segments that give it a pinecone-like appearance. Its most striking feature is its deep burgundy to reddish-purple skin, which is often covered in a velvety, dusty-looking residue.
