Product description

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.

Inside The Box

  • Cricket Ball Sapota (Chikoo) Plant
  • Black poly nursery bag
  • Pre-moistened growing medium

Please Note

  • Fruit images are for variety reference only. Fruit size, sweetness, colour, yield, and bearing performance vary with climate, soil, irrigation, nutrition, and cultivation practices.

  • Plant height, branching, foliage, and overall appearance may vary depending on season and nursery stage — the plant you receive may differ slightly from the image shown; this is normal and a sign of authenticity.

  • Outdoor plant requiring full sun for best results.

How To Care

  • Light: Full sun — at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth and good fruiting.

  • Water: Moderate and deep. Water the young plant every 2–3 days in summer, allowing the top few cm of soil to dry between waterings; reduce during monsoon and winter. Avoid waterlogging, which harms the roots.

  • Soil: Well-draining loamy soil enriched with compost. Good drainage matters — sapota dislikes soggy roots.

  • Feeding: Feed with a balanced organic fertiliser / compost at the start of the growing season and again mid-season; add potash as the plant matures to support fruiting.

  • Container growing: For terraces, use a large grow bag or pot (a deep, wide container) with well-draining mix; pot up as the plant grows. Ground planting gives the largest tree and yield.

  • Protection: Protect young grafted plants from frost and strong cold; keep the graft union above the soil line.

  • Pruning: Light pruning to shape the canopy and remove crowded or dead branches encourages a strong, productive framework.

FAQs

When will it start giving fruit?
A grafted chikoo usually starts fruiting about 3–4 years after planting, with good sun, watering and feeding; some plants give a few fruits earlier. Removing early flowers in the first 1–2 years helps the plant build a stronger frame. Timing varies with plant size, climate and container. Fruit set is usually better when bees and other insects visit the flowers, and some chikoo varieties set more fruit with another chikoo plant nearby.
When does it flower and fruit?
Chikoo flowers in more than one flush through the year, so an established tree can carry flowers and fruits at the same time and give fruit in more than one season. Exact timing varies with region, climate and care.
How do I know when the chikoo is ready to pick?
A mature chikoo turns a dull, sandy brown, and when you scratch the skin lightly with a fingernail, the layer just under the skin looks light brown or yellowish — not green. Pick mature fruits and keep them at room temperature for a few days until they soften; immature fruits may not ripen properly.
Can I grow it in a grow bag or pot on my terrace?
Yes. Start the young plant in an 18×18 inch grow bag (diameter × height) and move it up to a 24×24 inch grow bag over the next 1–2 years as it grows. Use a bag or pot with good drainage holes and a well-drained potting mix, and place it where it gets 6–8 hours of direct sun. Chikoo grows into a large tree in the ground, so in a container keep it pruned to a manageable size. A container plant stays smaller and gives a lighter crop than one planted in the ground.
How often should I water it?
Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry — check with your finger; the soil check matters more than the number of days. As a rough guide, in a grow bag this is every 2–3 days in summer and every 6–8 days in winter; in the monsoon, water only when the soil is dry. Never let water stand around the roots.
What should I do when the plant arrives?
Open the box the same day and water it if the soil feels dry. Keep it in bright shade for 3–4 days, then move it into full sun gradually. The black nursery bag is only for transport — once the plant has settled and shows no wilting (usually after about a week), plant it in the ground or a grow bag: remove the black nursery bag carefully without breaking the root ball, and keep the soil at the same level on the stem as before. Water well after planting, and do not fertilise for the first 3–4 weeks. If the plant arrives dead, message us within 48 hours of delivery; for other damage, within 7 days.
Why are new shoots growing from the bottom of the stem?
This is a grafted plant: the fruiting variety is joined onto a hardy rootstock, and the joint is usually visible as a slight bend or bump low on the stem. Any shoots that grow from below this joint come from the rootstock and will not give the right fruit — cut them off cleanly as soon as you see them. Do not remove normal branches above the joint. Keep the graft joint above the soil when you plant it.
Why are the leaves webbed together or the flowers dropping?
Leaves stuck together with silk threads, with small caterpillars inside, are usually leaf webber, a common chikoo pest. Remove badly affected webbed leaves where practical, and use a neem-oil or other plant-safe insecticide exactly as its label says if it spreads. Some flower drop is natural; heavy drop can also come from very dry soil or hot dry winds — water evenly while it is flowering.
Can it handle Indian weather?
Chikoo is a warm-weather tree and grows best where winters are mild, such as much of South, West and Central India. Frost can kill young plants — in North Indian winters, cover the plant on cold nights or move the grow bag to a sheltered spot. Make sure water never stands around the roots in the monsoon.
What will I receive?
One Cricket Ball Chikoo grafted plant (two in the Pack of 2), about 35–50 cm tall, in a black poly nursery bag with growing medium. It does not come with a pot or fruits. Plant height and shape vary with season and nursery stage.
Will the harvested fruits look exactly like the images shown?
Images are for reference purposes only. Fruit size, shape, and color may vary based on climate, growing conditions, plant age, and care.
What if my plant arrives damaged?
We offer 7 Days Free Damage Replacement. Report a damaged plant within 7 days of delivery, and a plant that arrives dead within 48 hours. Message us on WhatsApp at 9303751612 with your order number, clear photos and an unboxing video. In a Pack of 2, tell us which plant is affected; we replace that plant. An unboxing video is required for every damage or dead-plant claim, so please record one continuous video from the sealed box to taking the plant out. Claims without an unboxing video cannot be accepted. Covered: broken main stems, uprooted plants, fully dried or rotted plants and wrong or missing items.
How long does delivery take, and is COD available?
After dispatch, plants usually reach metro cities in 3–5 days and other locations in 5–8 days. Delivery is free on orders above ₹499. Cash on Delivery for live plants is available only on eligible metro pincodes — checkout shows whether it is available for yours.
Is customer support available to guide me?
