Introduce one of the most beautiful, highly unique, and delightfully sweet tropical fruit trees to your homestead collection with our premium pack of 40+ Green Star Apple (Chrysophyllum cainito) seeds. Universally celebrated across the Caribbean, Central America, and Southeast Asia as Caimito, Milk Fruit, or Sawo Durian, this exceptional heirloom variety is deeply revered by growers for its magnificent ornamental foliage, heavy yielding capacity, and outstanding fruit quality. Unlike the purple variety, the Green Star Apple produces smooth, vibrant emerald-green fruits that retain their bright color upon full maturity, hiding a fascinating interior design.

Our select package contains 40+ high-viability, freshly harvested seeds chosen specifically for their superior genetic purity, robust seedling vigor, and strong sprouting potential. When sliced horizontally, the fruit reveals a spectacular, star-shaped geometric pattern formed by the seed cells surrounded by translucent, jelly-like flesh. It delivers a spectacular gourmet experience—tasting exceptionally sweet, smooth, and refreshing, overflowing with a signature milky, aromatic juice reminiscent of fresh vanilla custard and sweet palm fruit. The tree itself is a true landscape masterpiece, featuring gorgeous glossy green leaves with striking golden-bronze velvety undersides that create a breathtaking shimmering effect in the wind.

You will receive: ✔️ 40+ Premium-quality fresh Green Star Apple / Caimito seeds ✔️ Hand-selected and thoroughly cleaned to ensure optimal viability and robust sprouting ✔️ Packaged in professional, moisture-controlled botanical sachets to maintain long-term freshness ✔️ Specialized tropical tree germination and early root management guide included

🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

  • Botanical Name: Chrysophyllum cainito (Var. Viridis)

  • Common Name: Green Star Apple / Green Caimito / Milk Fruit / Sawo Durian Hijau / Sawo Hijau

  • Plant Type: Long-lived, slow-to-moderate growing, majestic perennial evergreen tropical fruit tree

  • Sun Requirements: Full sun (Essential: Demands maximum, intense, direct sunlight daily—at least 6–8 hours—to fuel extensive canopy branching, support heavy flowering cycles, and maximize sugar accumulation in the developing fruits).

  • Soil / Medium: Adaptable to a wide range of soil types, but excels in deep, rich, organic, and exceptionally well-draining sandy loam or fertile loamy soils. Requires excellent free-flowing drainage to prevent root rot; prefers a neutral-to-slightly acidic soil pH between 6.0 and 6.8.

  • Watering: Requires regular, steady watering to establish a strong, deep root network during the first few seasons. Once established, mature trees exhibit excellent drought tolerance, but consistent moisture during flowering and fruit expansion ensures plump, extra-juicy harvests.

  • Growth Habit: A grand, highly ornamental tree featuring a dense, spreading canopy and weeping branches that catch the light beautifully. Responds beautifully to structural pruning and can be transitioned into large patio containers or managed orchards.

  • Temperature: Flourishes beautifully in warm, humid tropical and subtropical climates. Highly heat-tolerant, but young seedlings are highly sensitive to frost and must be strictly protected from cold drafts and freezing winter temperatures.

💡 Pro Growing Tip

Green Star Apple seeds sprout reliably when planted fresh and provided with steady, continuous warmth. The seeds possess a hard, glossy dark outer coat that benefits significantly from pre-soaking to accelerate water absorption. Soak your fresh seeds in warm water for 24 to 48 hours to thoroughly hydrate the inner embryo. Sow the seeds 1/2 inch deep into deep starter tubes or pots filled with a loose, sterile, well-draining seed-starting mix or sandy potting loam. Place the pots in a warm, bright location or on a germination heat mat maintained consistently at 75°F–85°F (24°C–29°C), keeping the soil lightly damp but never waterlogged. Your vigorous shoots will push through the soil steadily in about 3 to 5 weeks, ready to grow into a legendary landscape jewel!
