Savour the Sweetness: Chikoo Fruit Plant


Chikoo Fruit Plant, also known as the Sapodilla tree, is a tropical evergreen that produces delicious, sweet fruit. Native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, the Chikoo tree grows well in warm climates. It features dark green, leathery leaves and produces white flowers that develop into brown, rough-skinned fruit. The fruit has a creamy, brown flesh with a sweet, caramel-like flavor. Chikoo trees can grow up to 60 feet tall but are often pruned to a smaller size. They make an excellent addition to home gardens and orchards in tropical and subtropical regions.
