A Sapodilla plant, also known as Manilkara zapota, chiku, or sapota. It is a tropical evergreen tree native to southern Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, widely cultivated for its sweet fruit.

Here is a description of the plant and its fruit :  

Tree Characteristics :  

It is a slow-growing, long-lived evergreen tree, typically growing between 8 to 15 meters tall.

The trunk is thick and sturdy with a rough, brown bark that produces a sticky latex when cut.

The plant has glossy green leaves and dense foliage.

Fruit Characteristics :  

The fruit is typically oval or round shaped with a brown, fuzzy skin.

Unripe fruit has a hard surface and white pulp due to high latex content.

As the fruit ripens, the latex content reduces, and the flesh becomes brown, soft, creamy, and sweet with a caramel-like flavor.

The flesh contains black, shiny, bean-like seeds in the center.

Country of Origin : India
