This fruit tree in our yard. We call that Surba. English: Sugar-apple (Annona squamosa). It is a native of tropical climate. About its use it says:
In traditional Indian, Thai, and American medicine, the leaves are used in a decoction to treat dysentery and urinary tract infection. In traditional Indian medicine, they are also crushed and applied to wounds.[13] In Mexico, the leaves are rubbed on floors and put in hens' nests to repel lice. (See: Annona squamosa).
But as far as I know, here, Sugar-apple is only eaten as a delicious fruit, and the ripe fruit is always awaited by children to be picked and eaten. It is said, this fruit can provide high energy and a perfect source of vitamin C. Yes, however, it includes delicious fruit, and not enough to eat just one.

Ripe fruit.
