Variety description coming soon! 

___________________________________________________________________________

Latin name - Manilkara zapota

This fruit has often been described as a “brown sugar pear” due to its sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture.  The Sapodilla tree is one of our absolute favorite fruit trees, and we believe it’s an underrated choice for Florida yards.  One of the hardiest fruit trees we grow, Sapodilla is drought tolerant, wind resistant, and salt tolerant, making it a great candidate for coastal and inland areas alike.  There are several “dwarf” varieties with compact growth, which can be planted in tight spaces and maintained almost as a bush.  Other types are more vigorous and upright, and can make an impressive canopy tree.

The tree itself is attractive, with beautiful, glossy green leaves.  Sapodilla flowers are inconspicuous, small and bell shaped with white petals.  The fruit can take 6-9 months to develop and mature, and is picked when slightly soft or when the skin appears smooth.  We love to eat them fresh, but many delicious desserts can also be made– sapodilla pie anyone?  We recently tried freeze-dried sapodilla, and it’s amazing!  It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy Sapodilla fruit.  Commercially they are often grown in Mexico, but Sapodilla trees can be found throughout the world in commercial farms and backyards alike.

Plant your Sapodilla tree in full sun, with well draining soil.  The tree is drought tolerant and not fussy about soil type, but supplemental watering and fertilization can produce strong, lush growth and fruit production.  Sapodilla has an open, spreading canopy and responds well to pruning. A fun fact about Sapodilla is that its sticky sap, called “chicle”, is the original source of chewing gum.  Remember Chiclets?  They were originally made with Sapodilla sap!

Sapodilla fruit is rich in tannins (polyphenols which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties) as well as vitamin C to boost the immune system.  Sapodilla trees bloom year round and fruit can be harvested almost any time of year, but is most concentrated in spring and summer.

Excellent privacy shade.
Color: Coal Black
This delivered on exactly what it promises. So happy with the quality for the value. The shades are a fabric, nylon like, that are attached with a pocket on one end and velcro that adheres around the bar on the other. This was incredibly easy and straightforward to put together. Every piece was clearly labeled, coordinated with the instruction sheet, and fit perfectly. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to leave a review but I was so impressed by how clearly labeled and well explained the instructions were that I felt compelled to note it. Especially for anyone who doesn’t like putting things together, or is used to subpar instructions, this is leagues above the rest. It’s such a simple build anyway, but after buying so many things that barely fit as they should, this stands out. It is lightweight and easy to move. Offers privacy when opened, then can be folded out of the way. It looks exactly as pictured. No complaints, it’s a solid item and worth the price.

Decent quality for the price
Color: Grey
Decent quality for the price. Other privacy screens were extremely out of my budget, but this looks and works just fine- I just needed something simple to place behind my couch to hide some clutter. It took me about a half hour to assemble, but it was easy enough. It might be due to my carpeting, but I don't trust that the screen would be stable enough to stand freely without falling. Thankfully my plan all along was to wedge the screen between the couch and a box of clutter anyway, so for me it works as l'd planned!

Overpriced but effective.
Color: Cream
I happened to get lucky and get a warehouse deal at an additional 30% discount. Even at $25, it feels a little overpriced. But it was easy to assemble and serves its purpose. If you line the Velcro up exactly, the panels sag, if you stretch past even, but where it still grips, they look pretty ok. It is very light and does fold very compact for easy storage.

Great price for a great product
Color: Coal Black
Excellent quality and great price to boot. Easy to assemble and folds up easily to be stored. We are using it as a privacy screen when we have company that needs to sleep on the couch and also to block off a hallway leading to a guest suite. It looks great and is as described in the ad

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.
