Tropical Fruit Similar to a Pear
Why Sapodilla Trees?
- Slow growing evergreen tree with long lifespan
- Tons of beautiful, glossy green leaves
- Attractive, oval-shaped fruit and bell shaped flowers
- Satisfying fruit flavor similar to a Pear
- Resistant to wind
It may not sound pretty but don't let the name fool you. The Sapodilla is one handsome tree with a ton of benefits. From its long, glossy green leaves to the attractive oval fruit that hangs like large brown eggs, the Sapodilla is quickly gaining recognition among evergreen enthusiasts. The bell-shaped flowers bloom several times a year, adding a colorful burst of pinks and reds that complement the sea of green throughout the tree.
A strong specimen, the Sapodilla has a white, gummy latex that reinforces the tree's trunk which helps it hold up well against strong winds. It's also salt and drought resistant. With great looks and adaptability, the Sapodilla is an excellent choice for a variety of possible planting locations.
What looks like an egg but Tastes like a Pear? Sapodilla!
Take a ripe pear and dip it into brown sugar. Sound flavorful? That's the best way to describe the taste you can expect when you bite into a Sapodilla fruit. Sweet and almost malty, cut it into wedges and serve it chilled for a fantastic treat. This fruit tastes like dessert all by itself. But don't let that stop you from dressing up ice creams, cakes and fruit cups.
Rich in Tannin and vitamin C, Sapodilla is good for the body as well as the palate. With everything it has to offer, there's a spot in your garden or landscape just waiting for a Sapodilla.

I love my sapodilla tree and can’t wait for it to fruit.
I do not purchase any of my fruit trees or plants from anyone else. Your service is the best and I will continue to be a loyal customer
Beautiful fast growing Chiku
We ordered Sapodilla tree in March of 2024, 6 months later (it is September), it has grown so much! I read it's a slower growing tree. Not this one! The first picture is from the day it arrived. The second is from today. We are in zone 10a, it receives majority of the day's sun. Temps and rain has been pretty harsh this year but this tree seem to be very happy with the conditions. Leaves are gorgeous. I belief it's an evergreen so they will stay put all year long. It's been only 6 months but hopefully it will flower and fruit once the winter is behind us.
Hello, it looks good quality
Hello, it looks good quality and the leaves are healthy. It had flowers but they are drying up probably due to the new env. The soil in the pot was little loosened up on the top but hope soil around the root was intact. Its still in the Pot that it came in, just added some more soil, and watering it daily as its very hot here (95 to 100 degrees F). Looking to plant it in the ground soon. Hoping it will survive the wet winter in Northern California.
The tree is thriving, looks
The tree is thriving, looks healthy and I am anxious to eat its fruits. Any tips to protect it during the winter?
