My guess is that it doesn't have the optimum environment. https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/custard_apple.html
Everything I've found has stated that the fruit is from 2.4" or more. If yours are smaller than that perhaps they need some kind of fertilizer. Most articles state where they grow and favorable conditions. I'm not sure if this will help you, but here is one article:

Good luck!
Also, don't forget that every fruit has different varieties which vary in size, color, taste, etc. The area of growth will also affect the type of fruit you find elsewhere (than in your backyard).
I would add some nutritious fertilizer
Hi Sikut, Thank you for drawing my attention to the useful link. I have added fertilizers and currently there are more than 15 fruits in that one tree. Previously, I used to have 2 to 3 fruits at any one time. I had some about 2 inches in diameter too. Thank you once again.
Thanks for your views and the article. I appreciate it.
Thank you for all your replies. I appreciate your inputs. It will certainly challenge me to dwell deeper and further into the different aspects of achieving a greater harvest yield in the near future.
These are called, PAW PAWS. Grow wild in WEST VIRGINIA.
So good tasting.
I lived in India in my youth, and we LOVED this fruit, there's nothing that comes close to it in USA. I would just enjoy the larger fruit, some trees produce a larger strain. Where do you live ?
