🌼 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Manilkara zapota (PKM-1 selection)

• Common Name: PKM-1 Sapodilla / Chikoo

• Plant Type: Tropical evergreen fruit tree

• Sun Requirements: Full sun (Essential: Requires consistent, bright, direct sunlight to support healthy growth and maximize fruit sugar development).

• Soil / Medium: Adaptable, but thrives in rich, deep, and well-draining loamy soils; excellent drainage is the key to healthy long-term development.

• Watering: Young trees require regular, consistent watering to establish a strong root system; mature trees are quite hardy and drought-tolerant, though steady moisture during the fruiting phase produces larger, sweeter yields.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm, tropical, and frost-free climates; must be kept in consistently warm environments and protected from freezing temperatures.

💡 Pro Growing Tip: Sapodilla seeds have a tough outer coat that benefits from a little help. Carefully nick the hard edge of the seed (taking care not to damage the inner embryo) and soak them in warm water for 24–48 hours. Sow the seeds in a warm, airy seed-starting medium and keep the container in a consistently sunny, warm spot. Sapodilla seeds are slow and deliberate, so stay patient—these magnificent trees are well worth the wait!
