✏️ New variety of Sapodilla? Thai Brownie!

• 🍪 Back in 2005, TopTropicals crew traveled to Thailand and discovered very interesting variety of Sapodilla at the fruit market (first pic). No one could tell us the name of this variety so we named it Brownie. We brought the seeds with us...
• 🍪 Seven years later, we've had fruiting trees from those seeds! The fruit was even more elongated that the parent.
• 🍪 The trees we have right now for sale are the second generation, seedlings from that original Thai Brownie. Try these for your fruit forest!
• 🍪 The elongated fruit is small, 3-4"long, smooth pulp is very sweet.
