Tikal Sapodilla – Small, Sweet, and Productive
The Tikal Sapodilla is a compact variety known for producing small, sweet fruits with smooth, brown skin and rich, brown sugar-like flavor. It’s a heavy producer and great for smaller spaces.
Tree Characteristics:
• Size & Growth: Grows up to 20-30 feet but can be maintained at 12-15 feet with pruning.
• Planting Zone: USDA Zones 9-11.
• Container Suitability: Can be grown in large containers, making it ideal for smaller spaces or patios.
• Flowers: Small, white flowers bloom throughout the year, followed by fruiting.
• Fruit: Small, brown, oval-shaped fruit with smooth skin and sweet, grainy flesh, resembling the flavor of brown sugar.
Use: The fruit is eaten fresh and is commonly used in desserts, smoothies, and tropical drinks.
Standout Feature: Its smaller size and high productivity make Tikal Sapodilla a favorite for home growers, especially in limited spaces. The rich, sweet flavor is ideal for those who love tropical fruit with a brown sugar taste.
Care Tips: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Tikal is a relatively easy tree to maintain, though pruning is recommended to keep the tree compact and productive.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
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.
