Magana Mamey Sapote (Pouteria sapota)
Discover the exotic charm of the Magana Mamey Sapote, a tropical delight native to Central America and Mexico’s dry forests. This tree, belonging to the Sapotaceae family, is a symbol of nostalgia for Cubans and a treasure trove of unique flavors.
The Magana Mamey Sapote is a robust tree, growing to an average height and width of 25 feet. It’s a hardy plant, withstanding temperatures as low as 28°F, and thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10b-11a. Its large canopy is home to its unique fruit, which takes more than a year to mature.
The fruit of the Magana Mamey Sapote is a sight to behold. Resembling a football in shape, it varies in length from 6-9 inches depending on the cultivar. The skin is thick, woody, and sports a russet brown scruffy surface. Inside, the pulp is a beautiful pink, soft, and smooth in texture. The fruit weighs between 2 to 5 pounds and usually contains a single, large, elliptical seed.
But the real magic lies in its taste. The fruit offers a sweet, almond-like flavor that is truly unique. It’s high in vitamin A and a good source of potassium. Enjoy it fresh, in milkshakes, ice cream, jellies, pastes, and conserves.
The Magana Mamey Sapote is a slow grower, especially when grafted, which is an advantage for harvesting. It bears fruit in less than 2 years from grafting. The fruiting season is from April to October, with ‘Magana’ maturing its fruit in March and April.
Add a touch of the tropics to your garden with the Magana Mamey Sapote, and enjoy its unique flavors and stunning aesthetics. It’s more than a plant; it’s a journey to a different world. Available now for sale at our nursery.
Note: To comply with interstate shipping rules, our citrus shipping inventory is kept in a separate greenhouse. Online availability reflects that greenhouse stock. In-store citrus is managed separately and may differ or be limited.
Inventory policy: Online citrus = greenhouse shipping inventory (kept isolated for interstate compliance). In-store citrus availability is separate and changes frequently.
Citrus Shipping Policy: Citrus ships from our isolated greenhouse on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to ensure quick transit and meet agricultural regulations. If your order includes non-citrus trees, they may ship separately and arrive before the citrus.

Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
