Hey Beth, we only have the protruding scale like Custard Apple here. I am pretty amazed by the smooth skinned type which I have seen on the net and from your pix.
Our Soursop look more like an elongated durian. In Malay, it's called Durian Belanda, which loosely translates to Farang Durian.
Btw, there are like 2 or 3 cultivars of the Custard Apple and 1 of the Soursop here. Kinda boring, ha? The Aussie Custard Apple which are imported cost as much as $15(!) a pc compared to the local ones which is like 60 cents to $1 each. It's bigger and supposed to be sweeter (I think not).
