Sapodilla

The Sapodilla is called Chikoo in North India and Sapota in South India. It is a brown fruit with light brown flesh which is very sweet. My Sapodilla tree is only three feet high as it is only three years old. It has given me the first fruits which I am going to ripen .

The Sapodilla tree is a medium sized tree with glossy green leaves. It bears fruit throughout the year in these parts. The flowers are small and insignificant.
The Chikoo fruit is said to be a preventive of cancer.

  3. I love this fruit Lotusleaf and have recently planted one. In the islands especially in Grenada, we shine the skin with newspaper to remove the gritty texture and then wrap them in newspaper to ripen. My mouth is salivating for the taste of this fruit. I have not tasted one for many years too many to count.

  5. I had no idea these would fruit when the tree was so small. Mine was about that size but froze back a year ago. I have since transplanted it to a different location and I'm hoping it will make some good growth this year.

    Grower Jim, this is the first time it is fruiting. Perhaps our warm climate helps it to fruit early.
