Na Dai Sugar Apple – Sweet, Chewy, and Unique
The Na Dai Sugar Apple is a beloved Vietnamese variety known for its unique chewy texture and sweet, creamy flesh. Its pale green, knobby fruit is a favorite for fresh eating, especially in Southeast Asia.
Tree Characteristics:
• Size & Growth: Can grow up to 12-15 feet but is often kept at 8-10 feet with pruning to make harvesting easier.
• Planting Zone: USDA Zones 9-11.
• Container Suitability: Can be grown in large containers, making it a good choice for small spaces or urban gardens.
• Flowers: Small, fragrant yellow-green flowers that bloom in spring and early summer.
• Fruit: Pale green fruit with a knobby surface, filled with sweet, creamy flesh. The texture is unique, slightly chewy compared to other sugar apple varieties.
Use: The fruit is typically eaten fresh, scooping out the flesh to enjoy the sweetness. It’s popular in tropical desserts and smoothies.
Standout Feature: Its chewy texture and very sweet flesh set Na Dai apart from other sugar apples. This Vietnamese variety is also appreciated for its paler skin and easy-to-handle texture.
Care Tips: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. It’s relatively easy to care for but should be protected from frost. Regular pruning helps maintain size and promote better fruiting.
Note: To comply with interstate shipping rules, our citrus shipping inventory is kept in a separate greenhouse. Online availability reflects that greenhouse stock. In-store citrus is managed separately and may differ or be limited.
Inventory policy: Online citrus = greenhouse shipping inventory (kept isolated for interstate compliance). In-store citrus availability is separate and changes frequently.
Citrus Shipping Policy: Citrus ships from our isolated greenhouse on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to ensure quick transit and meet agricultural regulations. If your order includes non-citrus trees, they may ship separately and arrive before the citrus.
SHIPPING
Carriers and Services
We ship all orders via UPS, offering Standard, Expedited, and Overnight services. Shipping costs and delivery times depend on your location and the selected service.
Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
