FAQs

When does the Cricket Ball sapota fruit?
This grafted plant typically starts fruiting 3-4 years after planting.

Why does unripe chikoo taste bitter?
Unripe sapota contains natural latex and tannins that cause a puckery, astringent taste — this disappears completely once the fruit ripens fully.

What does 'Cricket Ball' refer to?
It describes the fruit's characteristic rounded, ball-like shape.

How is the plant maintained?
It needs full sun, regular watering, and only minimal pruning to remove damaged branches.
