Manilkara zapota - Chikoo
Revision as of 15:28, 23 June 2017 by Chaithrika (talk | contribs)
Manilkara zapota, [1] commonly known as the sapodilla is a long-lived, evergreen tree native to southern Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. An example natural occurrence is in coastal Yucatán in the Petenes mangroves ecoregion, where it is a subdominant plant species. It was introduced to the Philippines during Spanish colonization. It is grown in large quantities in Pakistan, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Mexico.
The name "zapota" from the Spanish zapote ultimately derives from the Nahuatl word tzapotl.
