🍊 Why exotic Mamey fruit is so much wanted?

Pouteria sapota, or Mamey Sapote - is Cuban favorite. It is considered by Cubans to produce the best fruit in the world.

🍹 The fruit has delicious bright orange soft flesh, sweet and pumpkin-like in flavor. The Mamey fruit is eaten fresh, in milk shakes and ice cream.

👀 Mamey has a curious growth habit: flowers emerge in clusters in the axils of fallen leaves along the branches, followed by the showy fruit. This is called cauliflorous - plants that flower and fruit from their main stems or woody trunks. Other examples are Cucumber tree and Jaboticaba.

🌳 Mamey is a slow growing, compact tree, but needs some space to spread the branches. It normally grows 20 ft in height and 20 ft wide.

How to grow the biggest fruit on Earth

🍐 How to grow the biggest fruit on Earth.

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is one of the most fascinating tropical fruit, as we showed earlier.

  • 👉 In spite of reputation being ultra tropical, the tree is not as cold sensitive as everyone believes. Mature trees can withstand light frost for a few hours without significant damage. Keeping Jackfruit in a pot is also an option in colder areas.

  • 👉 The fruit is so large and heavy that the tree has a smart feature to produce only at the base of the trunk. This makes it possible to keep Jackfruit tree at very short height - 6-7 ft tall. It can be grown in containers considering regular topping/pruning.


🔻 Secrets of Jackfruit successful production:

  • 📍 Frost free temperatures
  • 📍 Soil rich of organic matter (compost, manure, peat moss)
  • 📍 Moist soil and regular watering
  • 📍 Constant pruning and keeping under 7-10 ft
  • 📍Regular application of fertilizer, microelements and SUNSHINE-Honey supplement for better quality fruit.
