Sapote Plant - Magana (Pouteria Sapota)

Also known as Zapote.

Looking to add an exotic touch to your container garden? Look no further than the Sapote fruit tree, grafted to produce fruit in 2-3 years. This tropical delight produces sweet, custard-like fruit that is often compared to a combination of sweet potato, pumpkin, and apricot (it sounds strange, but it's a creamy delight.). Plus, it's easy to care for and relatively pest-resistant, making it a great addition to any garden. Also, with proper care, your tree can live for 50 years or more!

Not only is the Sapote tree a delicious and attractive fruit tree, but it's also well-suited for container gardening. Its size can be managed with regular pruning, and it can be moved indoors during the colder months. Don't miss out on the chance to enjoy the taste of the tropics from the comfort of your own home - order your Sapote fruit tree today!

Plant Care

Sapote plants require full sun, well-draining soil, and regular watering.

When you receive your plant, we suggest amending your soil with coco coir or coco perlite to keep your mix fluffy and make the best environment for the roots to establish and grow healthy.

• Propagation Method: Grafted plant, ready to produce fruit in 2-3 years with proper care.
• Fertility: Self-fertilizes, but better with a second plant (cross-pollination improves fruit set).
• Temperature Tolerance: Ideal Minimum: 15 C - Minimum Tolerated (briefly): 10 C
