Red chiku

Enjoy the Taste of Brown Sugar, Grown in Your Own Yard!

There's nothing quite like the uniquely sweet, malty flavor of a homegrown Chiku. Our Red Chiku (Sapota) plant makes it easy to cultivate this delicious tropical fruit. The taste is incredibly rich and sweet, far better than anything you can find in a store, with a delightful hint of caramel or brown sugar in every bite.

Why Our Plant is Special:

Get Fruit Much Faster: This plant is grafted, a special technique that joins a strong root system to a branch from a mature, high-quality tree. This means you’ll get to enjoy fruit in just 2-3 years, much faster than a regular plant.

Guaranteed Delicious Taste: Because it's a grafted plant, you are guaranteed to get the exceptionally sweet, reddish-brown fruit that this specific variety is known for. No more guessing games!

A Strong and Easy-to-Grow Tree: This method creates a robust and hardy tree that grows well in the Indian climate. It’s an evergreen tree that will provide beauty and shade for years to come.

What the Fruit is Like:

Taste: Incredibly sweet with a unique malty flavor that is often compared to brown sugar, pear, and caramel all in one. The flesh is soft, smooth, and has a beautiful reddish-brown color.

Look: The fruit is round to oval-shaped with a fuzzy, brown skin. The real treasure is the rich, sweet pulp inside.

How to Eat: Perfect for eating fresh! Just slice it open and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. It's also fantastic for making delicious milkshakes, smoothies, and desserts.

How to Plant Your Chiku Tree:

It’s easy! Here’s how to get started:

1. Pick a Sunny Spot: Choose the sunniest location you have. Chiku trees love the sun.

2. Plant It: Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the nursery pot. Carefully place the plant in the hole, making sure the graft point stays above the soil level. Fill the hole back in with soil.

3. Water and Feed: Give it a generous watering after planting. Keep the soil moist during its first year. You can feed it with a balanced fertilizer a few times a year to help it grow strong.
