Considered a “dwarf” tree, ‘Makok’ has a small and compact growth habit, easy to maintain as a bush.  The fruit is small and delicious, considered one of the best tasting Sapodillas.

___________________________________________________________________________

Latin name - Manilkara zapota

This fruit has often been described as a “brown sugar pear” due to its sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture.  The Sapodilla tree is one of our absolute favorite fruit trees, and we believe it’s an underrated choice for Florida yards.  One of the hardiest fruit trees we grow, Sapodilla is drought tolerant, wind resistant, and salt tolerant, making it a great candidate for coastal and inland areas alike.  There are several “dwarf” varieties with compact growth, which can be planted in tight spaces and maintained almost as a bush.  Other types are more vigorous and upright, and can make an impressive canopy tree.

The tree itself is attractive, with beautiful, glossy green leaves.  Sapodilla flowers are inconspicuous, small and bell shaped with white petals.  The fruit can take 6-9 months to develop and mature, and is picked when slightly soft or when the skin appears smooth.  We love to eat them fresh, but many delicious desserts can also be made– sapodilla pie anyone?  We recently tried freeze-dried sapodilla, and it’s amazing!  It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy Sapodilla fruit.  Commercially they are often grown in Mexico, but Sapodilla trees can be found throughout the world in commercial farms and backyards alike.

Plant your Sapodilla tree in full sun, with well draining soil.  The tree is drought tolerant and not fussy about soil type, but supplemental watering and fertilization can produce strong, lush growth and fruit production.  Sapodilla has an open, spreading canopy and responds well to pruning. A fun fact about Sapodilla is that its sticky sap, called “chicle”, is the original source of chewing gum.  Remember Chiclets?  They were originally made with Sapodilla sap!

Sapodilla fruit is rich in tannins (polyphenols which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties) as well as vitamin C to boost the immune system.  Sapodilla trees bloom year round and fruit can be harvested almost any time of year, but is most concentrated in spring and summer.

Great for 2 Days…see comments
So it’s great toy and had our dog entertained immediately. However probably won’t last very long with medium to large dogs that gets obsessed with killing every toy you give them. Our Pitt mix loved this until she ended it by chewing through the heavy plastic ring that keeps the ropes connected. Without the noted ropes attached, the toy cannot move around. Basically ending the fun. Would be great to start a puppy or smaller dog on. It has multiple modes and is noise and proximity activated. Our dog was obsessed but sadly it was no match for her. 3 stars only because it didn’t last more than two days with our dog.

Good but not tough
My dog loved it but he figured out how to open it pretty quickly. I think I’m doomed to never find an interactive dog toy that can survive my golden

Obsessed, crappy rope
My pitbull mix is obsessed! I was worried he might break it, but he has used it everyday for the past week and we've had no issues. The reason I docked a star is because the rope it comes with lasts minutes. I'm still trying to figure out a good solution of what to tie onto the top. Regardless, he loves it without anything on it, but he chews on the connector piece so I'm worried he will break it if I let him go.
