Makok Sapodilla

Makok is a popular Thai sapodilla variety prized for its small, slender fruit and dense, ultra-sweet flesh. Unlike larger varieties, Makok produces smaller fruits that are highly concentrated in flavor, making them ideal for fresh eating right off the tree. The tree itself is compact and highly productive, perfect for home growers looking for reliable sapodilla production in limited space.
