Considered a “dwarf” tree, ‘Makok’ has a small and compact growth habit, easy to maintain as a bush.  The fruit is small and delicious, considered one of the best tasting Sapodillas.

___________________________________________________________________________

Latin name - Manilkara zapota

This fruit has often been described as a “brown sugar pear” due to its sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture.  The Sapodilla tree is one of our absolute favorite fruit trees, and we believe it’s an underrated choice for Florida yards.  One of the hardiest fruit trees we grow, Sapodilla is drought tolerant, wind resistant, and salt tolerant, making it a great candidate for coastal and inland areas alike.  There are several “dwarf” varieties with compact growth, which can be planted in tight spaces and maintained almost as a bush.  Other types are more vigorous and upright, and can make an impressive canopy tree.

The tree itself is attractive, with beautiful, glossy green leaves.  Sapodilla flowers are inconspicuous, small and bell shaped with white petals.  The fruit can take 6-9 months to develop and mature, and is picked when slightly soft or when the skin appears smooth.  We love to eat them fresh, but many delicious desserts can also be made– sapodilla pie anyone?  We recently tried freeze-dried sapodilla, and it’s amazing!  It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy Sapodilla fruit.  Commercially they are often grown in Mexico, but Sapodilla trees can be found throughout the world in commercial farms and backyards alike.

Plant your Sapodilla tree in full sun, with well draining soil.  The tree is drought tolerant and not fussy about soil type, but supplemental watering and fertilization can produce strong, lush growth and fruit production.  Sapodilla has an open, spreading canopy and responds well to pruning. A fun fact about Sapodilla is that its sticky sap, called “chicle”, is the original source of chewing gum.  Remember Chiclets?  They were originally made with Sapodilla sap!

Sapodilla fruit is rich in tannins (polyphenols which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties) as well as vitamin C to boost the immune system.  Sapodilla trees bloom year round and fruit can be harvested almost any time of year, but is most concentrated in spring and summer.

Good sunscreen
Style: SPF 50
Super good coverage and it lasts a long time in the sun and even through water activities. The only negative is the white cast. Not as bad as others but just be aware it doesn’t fully rub in.

Great sunscreen & works for kids - even used in resorts!
Style: SPF 50
Terrific! I don’t feel it is as good as chemical ones but my favorite non-chemical one. Used on a long vacation and it did the job! Also didn’t cause pimples like other thick versions of this.

Protection
Style: SPF 50
I love this product, especially my husband because it’s all-natural. It contains minerals that leave a slight white residue on the face. While it would be nice to have a clearer texture, it does a beautiful job of protecting you from the sun.

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .
