Product Details
Cape Chicko-Zapota (also known as Chikoo, Sapodilla, or Manilkara zapota) is a fantastic evergreen tropical fruit tree that delivers homegrown sweetness right in your garden. This slow-growing, long-lived beauty produces round to oval fruits with rough brown skin and incredibly sweet, grainy, caramel-like flesh—often described as a mix between pear, brown sugar, and a hint of molasses.
People absolutely love this plant for its:
Delicious, nutrient-packed fruits rich in vitamins (especially C and A), fiber, and antioxidants—perfect for fresh eating, smoothies, or desserts
Evergreen, glossy green foliage that provides year-round shade and ornamental appeal
Remarkable drought tolerance and resilience once established, thriving in hot, dry conditions with minimal fuss
Historical charm: its latex (chicle) was the original base for chewing gum, plus it's a low-maintenance tropical standout
Easy Care Tips
Light: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) for best growth and fruiting; it handles partial shade but produces less fruit.
Water: Moderate during establishment (regular deep watering); highly drought-tolerant once mature—avoid overwatering to prevent root issues.
Soil: Well-drained loamy, sandy, or even slightly alkaline soils; tolerates a wide range but hates waterlogging.
Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer (like 6-6-6 or similar) 2–3 times a year, especially for young trees; mature ones need little.
Pruning: Light trimming to shape or remove dead branches; very forgiving and low-maintenance.
Climate: In UAE's hot climate, it's an excellent fit with good drainage!
Bring home Cape Chicko-Zapota for effortless tropical flavor, shade, and that irresistible sweet harvest—your garden (and taste buds) will thank you!
