Molix Sapodilla

Molix is one of the most popular and productive sapodilla varieties from Mexico, known for its large, round fruit and intensely sweet flavor. The fruit has a smooth, brown skin and a rich, brown sugar-like flesh that is soft, juicy, and fiberless when fully ripe. Molix is favored for its heavy production, making it an excellent choice for home growers and small farms seeking reliable, high-yielding trees.
