==How to plant/cultivate==
Sapodilla can grow well in a wide range of climatic conditions from the wet tropics to dry cool subtropical areas; but they prefer a moist hot climate similar to that found at medium to low elevations, usually below 600 metres. Trees are long-lived and slow-growing. The seeds of M. zapota germinate about 30 days after sowing without any treatment and exhibit an epigeal type of germination; they can, however, remain viable for several years if kept dry. <ref name="How to plant/cultivate"/>
