🌳 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Manilkara zapota 'PKM-1'

• Common Name: PKM-1 Sapodilla / Prolific Chico Zapote / Chikoo / Ciku

• Plant Type: Medium to large, long-lived tropical evergreen fruit tree

• Sun Requirements: Full sun (Essential: Requires at least 6–8 hours of intense, direct sunlight daily to maximize its heavy, clustered blooming, successful fruit set, and optimal sugar accumulation).

• Soil / Medium: Exceptionally adaptable; thrives beautifully in deep, rich, well-draining sandy loams. Highly tolerant of poor, sandy, alkaline, and oolitic limestone soils once thoroughly established.

• Watering: Water regularly during the first few seasons to establish a massive, deep root network capable of supporting heavy fruit clusters. Once mature, trees display excellent drought resistance.

• Growth Habit: A magnificent tree with a highly ornamental, dense, spreading canopy of glossy dark green leaves and exceptionally tough, wind-resistant wood.

• Temperature: Thrives effortlessly in hot, humid tropical and subtropical environments. Highly sensitive to frost; young trees must be strictly protected if freezing conditions approach.

💡 Pro Growing Tip: Sapodilla seeds possess a durable protective outer shell but show excellent germination rates when sown fresh. To accelerate the process and ensure uniform sprouting across this 35-seed batch, carefully nick the edge of the seed coat or pre-soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours prior to planting. Sow the seeds roughly 1/2 inch deep in a warm, moist, sterile seed-starting mix. Maintain a warm environment (around 25°C–32°C) and keep the soil consistently damp but never waterlogged. Sprouting typically begins within 2 to 4 weeks!
