Alano-Sapodilla
I have an Alano sapodilla tree in my yard. Even though my tree is too small to bear fruits, I've had many "Alano sapodilla" fruits, wonderful sweet flavor. Can't wait for mine to bear some. |
More accurately, 'Alano' is a cultivar from Thailand. The Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota) is native to the Americas.
Attached are two articles on the Sapodilla from the USDA archives, one from 1888 and the other from 2002.
