Cricket Ball Sapota (Chikoo) Fruit Plant – Grafted

The Cricket Ball Sapota is a premium grafted variety of chikoo (Manilkara zapota), celebrated for producing some of the largest fruits of any sapota — round to nearly spherical, often approaching the size of a cricket ball. Beneath the brown skin is smooth, fine-grained, light-brown flesh with a rich, sweet, caramel-like flavour that makes it a favourite fresh table fruit. Grafted from selected mother plants for vigorous growth and true-to-type fruit, it is an early-bearing, dependable choice for home gardens, terrace grow bags, and orchards alike.

 A premium grafted sapota famous for its exceptionally large, caramel-sweet fruit — early bearing and productive, for home gardens, terraces and orchards.

Why Cricket Ball Sapota (Chikoo)

• Exceptionally large fruit: one of the biggest-fruited sapota varieties, round and full, often approaching cricket-ball size under good care.

• Rich caramel sweetness: smooth, fine-grained, juicy light-brown flesh with a classic sweet, malty-caramel chikoo flavour.

• Grafted for early, true-to-type fruit: propagated from selected mother plants, so it bears earlier than seed-grown sapota and stays true to variety.

• Vigorous and productive: a strong-growing, regular-bearing tree well suited to Indian tropical and subtropical conditions.

• Flexible growing: start it in a large grow bag or pot on a terrace or balcony, or plant it in the ground for a full orchard tree.

• A rewarding grow: a favourite for home gardeners, terrace growers, and fruit-plant collectors who want a standout variety.
