so plsssssssss,can any1 out there help me??, i just feel i should know properly,(about)something i like alot like that.

We must not wait for the English man to give everything a name.

Even things they had never seen or known before.

That was how we waited for Mungo Park to come and name the River Niger and almost every other thing in Africa.

I hereby name this fruit Shawachop. period!!!

soursup is the real name.

Ok, SOURSOP

Its name is custard apple.

Its called soursop.

I was just talking about this fruit again today with someone and it seems to go by alot of names depending on where you are from: soursop, guanabana, etc. I know it to be known as the custard apple as this is the genus that this fruit's family is from. Here is a source if anyone is interested:
