Description: Alano Sapodilla Tree Alano Sapodillas can be harvested once the fruit is tan, smooth, and about 3 to 3 ½ inches long. Mature fruits will still be hard on the tree. Pick them and let them soften in a cool, dry place such as a bowl on the kitchen counter for several days. They are ready to eat when they suddenly become soft enough to yield to a squeeze. Do not let them become mushy. A perfectly ripe Alano Sapodilla has a narrow window. Learning to judge the fruit’s ideal softenss comes with experience.Once the Alano Sapodillas are the right softness, slice them in half, remove the shiny brown seeds, and refrigerate until chilled. Eat the chilled flesh by either peeling the skin away and slicing the flesh, or by scooping it out with a spoon. Ripe Alano Sapodillas are best eaten fresh, used in fruit salads, or in tropical desserts and smoothies. Surprise your guests by garnishing a side salad with a few slices of this remarkable tropical fruit and enjoy the smiles when they taste one for their first time.sThe Sapodilla is one of the most delicious and treasured tropical fruits known, and the Alano Sapodilla is the best of its kind. The Alano Sapodilla is widely thought of as the highest quality, tastiest Sapodilla variety. The fruits are egg-shaped, 3 to 3 ½ inches long, and have smooth, tan skins. Ripe Alano Sapodilla flesh is golden-brown, has the texture of a finely-grained pear, and the remarkable flavor is a mixture of brown sugar, honey, and slight notes of cinnamon. Tasting one for the first time is a gourmet rare fruit experience that people never forget.Alano Sapodilla Trees are slow growing but long-lived and they only get to be about 6 to 10 feet tall so you can fit one almost anywhere. They do best in USDA Zones 9 to 11 where they bloom in spring and ripen their fine fruits in summer. The compact growth habit of the trees make them a good choice for growing a tropical fruit tree in a pot, which you can do in USDA Zones 4 to 11. Their dark green leaves make a shady canopy and the balanced, upright tree shape is easy to maintain.
