Long bana chiku Plant

The Long bana chiku plant produces the elongated variety of sapota, prized for its distinctively oblong shape and sweet, malty flavour. This cultivar develops medium-sized fruits with smooth brown skin and granular, caramel-coloured flesh that's exceptionally juicy when ripe. The tree adapts well to tropical and subtropical climates across India.

A moderately vigorous grower, this chiku plant thrives in well-drained soil with regular watering during the fruiting season. The tree typically begins bearing fruit within 3-4 years of planting and produces crops twice annually once established. Best suited for home gardens and small orchards where space allows for its spreading canopy.
