Its amazing how black the dirt is under those Pond Apples.  Its the same black dirt immediately south of Lake Okeechobee where a huge Pond Apple slough was lost to farmland.

Are pond apple and custard apple the same thing?

[Swamp Hunter]

Probably not. But I have heard old timers talk about making Custard Apple Pie from Pond Apples. I have heard Custard Apple and Pond Apple commonly used to describe the same tree but Custard Apple may in reality be a different fruit in the same Annona family. Good question.  I like Atemoya and Cherimoya also in the same family.

 

I think Pond Apples drop in September. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annona_glabra
