Description 

Sapota, also known as chikoo (Manilkara zapota), is a tropical fruit tree that can be grown from seeds. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to grow sapota seeds:

Seed Collection and Preparation:

  • Obtain fresh, ripe sapota fruit.
  • Carefully extract the seeds from the fruit pulp.
  • Rinse the seeds in clean water to remove any traces of pulp.

Seed Treatment (Optional):

  • Some gardeners scarify or nick the seed coat slightly with a file or sandpaper to improve germination rates. This is not always necessary but can help speed up germination.
  • Soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting can also aid germination.

Germination:

  • Fill a pot or seedling tray with a well-draining potting mix.
  • Plant the sapota seeds about 1 inch deep in the soil.
  • Water the soil to ensure it's evenly moist.

Growing Conditions:

  • Place the pot or tray in a warm, sunny location. Sapota trees require plenty of sunlight to grow well.
  • Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, but avoid overwatering to prevent waterlogging.

Transplanting:

  • Once the sapota seedlings have grown a few inches tall and have developed a few true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the ground.
  • Choose a well-draining location for planting, as sapota trees do not tolerate waterlogged soil.

Continued Care:

  • Water the young sapota trees regularly, especially during dry periods.
  • Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Prune the young tree to encourage a strong and healthy structure as it grows.

Protection:

  • Provide protection from strong winds and extreme weather conditions, especially during the early stages of growth.

Harvesting:

  • Sapota trees can take several years to start bearing fruit. Be patient, as it can take 5-8 years or more for a sapota tree grown from seed to produce fruit.
  • Harvest the ripe fruit when it is slightly soft to the touch and has a sweet aroma.
