Grafted Sapodilla / zapote (manilkara zapota) tropical live fruit tree 12”-24”
Sapodilla, also known as Manilkara zapota, is a tropical fruit tree native to Central America and the Caribbean. It is valued for its sweet, juicy fruit that is often compared to caramel or brown sugar. In this description, we will discuss how to plant and care for sapodilla trees, and some of the benefits they can provide.
An interesting fact about sapodilla fruit is that it contains a natural latex that is used to make chewing gum. In fact, sapodilla was one of the original sources of chewing gum, and was prized by ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures for its sweet, chewy properties. The sapodilla latex is harvested by making cuts in the bark of the tree and allowing the sap to flow out and harden. The hardened sap is then collected and processed into a chewy, rubbery material that is used to make gum. Today, most commercial chewing gum is made with synthetic latex, but some specialty gum makers still use natural sapodilla latex to create a unique and flavorful chewing experience.
