When and how custard apple harvesting is done?

Fruits take up to 6 months to mature on the tree after setting. Though, one thing to look for is the skin between the main segment of the fruit, which changes from a green to a cream color. Cut the fruit stem with a pair of stems on the custard apple fruit. This mainly helps to prevent the entry of disease spores. The custard apple fruit now needs to be left for a couple of days at room temperature to soften before it is ready to eat.
