Sapodilla Odmiany
(Manilkara zapota)
The Sapodilla is a fairly slow-growing, upright tree to 18 m (60 ft) or more in height. It is strong and wind-resistant, rich in white, gummy latex. Its leaves are alternate and evergreen, arranging themselves at the tops of each branch. The fruit may be nearly round, oval, or conical in shape. When immature it is hard, gummy and very astringent due to a high concentration of latex.
