• Botanical Name: Manilkara zapota 'Alano'

• Common Name / Synonym: Alano Sapodilla / Dwarf Chico / Zapote / Naseberry

• Plant Type: Evergreen tropical fruit tree

• Sun Requirements: Full sun (Requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct, intense sunlight daily for optimal canopy development, flowering, and sweet fruit ripening).

• Soil / Medium: Thrives in rich, sandy, loamy, and exceptionally well-draining soils. Sapodillas are remarkably adaptable and can tolerate limestone and slightly saline soils provided drainage is excellent.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate frost-free climates (Ideal temperature range: 20°C to 35°C / 68°F to 95°F). Protect from severe frost when young.

🌱 Pro Growing Tip: To accelerate and improve germination, gently nick or file the hard seed coat slightly and soak the sapodilla seeds in warm water for 48 hours before sowing them about 1/2 inch deep in a warm, loose, sterile starting mix!
