Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- An egg-shaped sapodilla with dusty tan skin and sweet caramel-brown flesh. Eat it soft. It is not a mamey.
- Ripens
- Same rule as Morena: sandy brown and easy to scratch, then soften it off the tree. Do not cut it while the skin is still green.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- Same tropical requirement as Morena. Protect a young trunk from a rare hard freeze.
- Size
- Leave room for a real tree. Malik is a grafted sapodilla, not a patio pot forever.
- Tips
- Full sun and fast drainage. Keep the tag on it so Malik does not get mixed with Morena once the leaves look the same.
- Pollination
- Self-fruitful.
