Mamey Tree

Bring one of the most treasured and magnificent tropical fruit trees to your landscape with our live Mamey tree (Pouteria sapota), also known as sapote mamey. Mamey trees produce large, oval fruits with a rough brown rind enclosing a brilliant, deep salmon-red pulp. The flesh is remarkably rich, sweet, and smooth with a creamy texture and a delicious flavor profile reminiscent of sweet potato, pumpkin, and honey. They are exceptional for fresh eating, gourmet milkshakes, and desserts.

The tree features an attractive, upright canopy with large, glossy green leaves clustered at the branch ends, providing a striking tropical aesthetic.

Varieties:
• Magana
• Mayapan
• Key West
• Unspecified

How to Care & Grow

1. Sunlight: Plant in full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of direct daily sunlight) for optimum growth and heavy fruit production.
2. Soil & Planting: Thrives in rich, fertile, and exceptionally well-coming, deep soils with good drainage (ideal pH 6.0–7.0).
3. Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase and through dry periods. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
4. Climate & Hardiness: Best adapted to tropical and warm, frost-free subtropical climates. Protect young trees from harsh frost and freezing temperatures.
