Sugar apples are easily grown from seed and do well in containers. If you can get your hands on some to grow, you'll have fruits in 2 years.
How large do they get when they fruit? I live in Indiana so obviously I would have to overwinter them...
My plant is about 5 feet, recently potted up from 7 to a 15 gallon container. It's been fruiting and flowering the past couple weeks. When it was smaller, it would flower but not set fruit. But I was a noob at hand pollinating, so I could've been responsible. Sugar apples go dormant in the winter and usually drop their leaves. Treat them like peppers. Protect them from freezing, and they'll survive the winter.
as soon as i get a ripe fruit, i'll send you some seeds right away. just pray that the bats don't get it first.
yup easy to grow. they grow around here voluntarily. I have one growing on a container for a couple of years already and is now having its 1st set of flowers.

Wow, you like your basils!
I've only had 'bush' basil, sweet basil, thai basil and lemon basil.
Current place has an old, old garden, 50 years or more old. It's has lemon tree, fig tree, almond tree and mandarin tree that were all neglected for years.
Got the lemon tree back fine, almond tree looks a goner, fig tree is massive,about 12m tall but doesn't produce anything edible. Birds get to it pretty quick and you can't reach many figs anyway. But what you can reach on the lower branches seems to rot before it ripens properly.
Mandarins are really sour as well. Trying to fix everything with ferts, blood and bone etc, but going to take a while (and I'll be out, the land demolished and leveled, the tress removed, or everything neglected soon anyway...)
edit: lemon basil is great for salads
