Sapodilla Seedling

The sapodilla seedling is the young plant of the sapodilla tree (Manilkara zapota), a tropical evergreen native to regions like southern Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. At this early stage, the sapodilla seedling is characterised by its tender, light green leaves and a slender, fragile stem. The leaves are typically glossy and elongated, hinting at the lush, dense foliage of the mature tree. Sapodilla seedlings require a warm, frost-free environment to thrive. They prefer well-drained, sandy soils and plenty of sunlight.
