We did not plant any of the sugar apple bushes in the homestead. The birds did it for us. Through seed dispersal, birds carried fruits from somewhere else, ate the fruits on top of the trees at our homestead and as they dropped the seeds, the seeds germinated and we got plenty of seedlings.
The seedlings were so many that we had to get rid of those that grew in areas not allocated for them. The seedlings grew very fast and within no time, we were eating the fruits in plenty. The bushes flowered twice a year following the two rainy seasons of the area.
Some of the bushes started flowering when they were very short like just two feet tall and that was like within two years. The bigger the bushes the more fruits they produced. The bushes did not need any maintenance at all. We did not weed around them or put manure around them.
The fruits were surely succulent and sweet. Poultry, birds and we enjoyed the fruits very much. Like guavas, almost no work went into farming this fruit apart from uprooting the unwanted seedlings, picking seeds dropped by poultry and birds, pruning the wild branches and harvesting the ready fruit.
The area was dominated by these fruits.
