Chikoo, Sapota, Chiku Fruit (Grafted) Plant – With Pot

Description

Sapota, popularly known in India as Chiku. Chiku is a tropical fruit. It has an uncanny resemblance to kiwifruit in color and skin texture, except the chiku is slightly larger and without the hairy feel, but rough. The rounder variety which I planted does not look like kiwi fruit except for the color. Chiku is spelt differently in different countries, but retaining the same pronunciation. Other names for chiku are sawo (Indonesia), sapota (part of India), lamoot (Thailand, Laos and Cambodia), sapote, sapodilla, zapote, sapoti, nispero, dilly, naseberry, chico sapote, and many other names. In Malaysia, we called it chiku. Its scientific name is Manilkara zapota.
