Balanagar Custard Apple — also known as Balanagar Sitaphal — is one of the most famous and high-yielding custard apple varieties in India.
It is well known for its sweet, creamy, and aromatic pulp, making it a favorite among fruit lovers and commercial growers alike.

The Balanagar Custard Apple tree is medium-sized, hardy, and grows well in dry and semi-arid regions.
It is ideal for cultivation in loamy or red soil with good drainage and plenty of sunlight.
This variety can start fruiting within 2–3 years after planting and gives a heavy yield every season.

Each fruit is round to heart-shaped, with a thick, greenish skin and soft, white pulp inside.
The flavor is rich, sweet, and creamy, often considered superior to many other custard apple varieties.
Because of its excellent taste and aroma, it is widely used for fresh eating, desserts, milkshakes, and ice creams.
