some thoughts:

… Both in tree and in fruit, the custard apple, Annona reticulata L., is generally rated as the mediocre or “ugly duckling” species among the prominent members of this genus
Quoted from: Purdue University<>
In India, many “discover” the existence of A. reticulata ! (read: some of us get to know about it quite late in our lives)
