All Details

I am the "Goliath of the Custard Apples," a legendary and colossal variety of the Thai Super Muang (or Thai Green) Sitaphal family. I am the Ravana King Thai, a name given to me to reflect my immense power and size. I produce fruits that are truly "king-sized," often weighing between 1 kg and 2 kg each. My exterior is covered in large, prominent, light-green bumps. When you break me open, you are greeted by an abundance of snow-white, thick pulp with surprisingly few seeds. My flavor is a tropical masterpiece: an ultra-creamy, velvety sweetness that tastes like vanilla custard mixed with hints of pineapple.

I am a high-value premium variety prized for my "jumbo" fruit size and my incredibly high pulp-to-seed ratio. I am the variety of choice for luxury fruit markets and collectors who want the "biggest and best" Sitaphal in the world.

I am an elite selection from the advanced horticultural farms of Thailand, where I was bred to maximize fruit weight and sweetness for the global export market.

I am a "moisture-manager"; I require deep and regular watering during my flowering and fruit-setting stages. If I am kept too dry, my massive fruits may drop early or fail to reach their "King" size.

I am a total sun-worshipper; I need 8 to 10 hours of full, direct sunlight. The intense energy of the sun is required to produce the sugars ($22^\circ\text{Brix}$ to $26^\circ\text{Brix}$) that fill my giant fruits.

I love the heat, thriving between 22°C and 40°C; I am a tropical soul and must be protected from frost. I perform best in humid, warm climates but am surprisingly adaptable to dry heat if watered well.

I grow into a medium-sized tree with a somewhat open and spreading canopy; I prefer well-drained, fertile soil. I am often grafted onto hardy rootstocks to ensure fast growth and heavy fruiting.

I am a heavy feeder; because I produce such massive fruits, I require regular applications of organic manure and a balanced NPK fertilizer rich in Potassium to support fruit weight and sweetness.

My scientific name is Annona squamosa 'Thai Super Muang' (Ravana King selection) and I belong to the Annonaceae family, making me a giant cousin to the Sugar Apple and the Cherimoya.

My fruit pulp is safe, but like all Annonas, my seeds are toxic and contain natural insecticidal compounds; ensure pets do not chew or swallow the seeds found inside my creamy flesh.

My broad, green leaves are excellent at producing oxygen and providing a lush, tropical look that filters dust and helps cool the air in your garden through transpiration.

I am a "Nutritional Giant"; I am packed with Vitamin C, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6. I am prized for being an "instant energy" food that is easy on the stomach and incredibly satisfying.

My branches can be "fragile" under the weight of my 2 kg fruits; I often require propping or staking to prevent my limbs from snapping during a heavy harvest season.

I am a sturdy and very productive perennial; I can begin fruiting in just 2 to 3 years and will continue to be the "King" of your orchard for 20 to 30 years.

Everyday: from 8:00AM to 6:00PM
