What is Jadefruit? Jadefruit is the Export Marketing name given to Custard Apples grown by J-Cam members. To be a member of the J-Cam Marketing Group strict guidelines apply. Custard Apples are grown on a sub-tropical deciduous tree belonging to the Annonaceae family. This family contains over two thousand members spread throughout the world. Of this family, it is the atemeoya, a hybrid of the Annona genus, that Australia's commercial cultivars derive from. Custard Apple trees are large and spreading, shaded by large, green drooping leaves. The tree sets many light yellow trumpet shaped flowers that emit a pungent, sweet smell especially in the late afternoon when the male pollen sacks burst open. Of these flowers, only a small number will set fruit. Jadefruit takes between 20 and 25 weeks to reach maturity in sub-tropical climates where the days are not too warm and the nights not too cool.
