Introduce a legendary, highly prolific cultivar to your orchard or garden with our premium pack of Sapodilla Seeds var. PKM-1 35 pcs (Manilkara zapota). Widely celebrated as a breakthrough in tropical viticulture, the PKM-1 variety is universally prized by fruit growers and connoisseurs alike for its outstanding productivity, beautifully uniform oval-to-round shape, and remarkably rich, sweet flavor profile that tastes like a decadent blend of brown sugar, pear, and caramel.

Native to the tropical Americas and highly perfected for maximum yield, Manilkara zapota grows into a beautiful, medium-sized evergreen tree with a dense, highly ornamental canopy. It features glossy, dark emerald-green leathery leaves that form a striking architectural statement in any landscape. Unlike traditional varieties, PKM-1 is famous for bearing clusters of thin-skinned, smoothly textured fruits that are heavily packed with sweet, juicy pulp and very few seeds. The tree is exceptionally sturdy, highly wind-resistant, and beautifully adaptable to container gardening, making it possible to experience tropical blossoms and sweet fruits even on sunny patios or in spacious greenhouses.

PKM-1 ✔️ Sourced exceptionally fresh from the latest high-yield harvest to guarantee premium viability ✔️ Naturally cleaned, sun-dried, and strictly chemical-free seed stock ✔️ Secure, moisture-resistant specialized packaging with protective cushioning for a safe arrival Note: Sapodilla seeds are highly stable and long-lived, but require a steady, warm tropical environment to successfully break dormancy. Simple planting steps are outlined below.

🌼 Cultivation & Planting Information

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

  • Botanical Name: Manilkara zapota (var. PKM-1)

  • Product Type: Premium Prolific Fruit Tree Seeds / Tropical Edible Landscape

  • Quantity: 35 Seeds per pack

  • Sun Requirements: Full Sun to very bright, intense filtered light (Essential for maintaining a dense canopy and triggering heavy, sweet fruit production)

  • Soil / Medium: Requires a loose, fertile, well-draining potting medium. Highly adaptable to a wide range of soils, including sandy, loamy, or even slightly alkaline soils, with excellent coastal salt tolerance.

  • Watering: Moderate during the early germination and sapling stages. Once fully established, its deep root network provides outstanding drought tolerance.

  • Growth Rate: Steady and sturdy; forms a highly structurally sound, low-maintenance tree that can withstand strong winds.

  • Hardiness & Climate: Thrives perfectly in warm tropical and sub-tropical climates (USDA Zones 10-11). An excellent choice for large decorative pots and sunrooms in cooler regions.

💡 Pro Germination Tip: Sapodilla seeds possess a smooth, hard protective outer coating. For a much more rapid breakout, soak your seeds in room-temperature water for 24 hours prior to sowing to fully hydrate the embryo. Plant the seeds approximately 1/2 inch deep in a warm, moist, well-aerated seed-starting mix. Maintain a steady ambient soil temperature between 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C), ensure consistent moisture without waterlogging, and look for strong green sprouts to emerge within 14 to 30 days!
