- Hello everyone, in today's tropical fruit video we are going to take a closer look at the Chupa Chupa tree aka South American Sapote or Sapote (Quararibea cordata).
*This fruit is not to be confused with Mamey Sapote (Pouteria sapota) which is a different fruit. But in Florida if you say Sapote it refers to Mamey Sapote, In Colombia if you say Sapote it refers to Chupa Chupa (Quararibea cordata).
The tree itself is a large evergreen tree that bears delicious orange fruits that taste like sweet pumpkin pie with subtle notes of cinnamon.
This tree is considered an 'extreme tropical' meaning that in Florida it will need protection to grow as it is sensitive to our winters in Florida.
You can find Chupa chupa (Quararibea cordata) at Fruit and Spice Park in Miami Florida, but I have not seen it flowering or fruiting.
You can tell when the chupa chupa fruits are ready to harvest because it forms a yellow line near the top of the fruit as well as the top starts to pop out.
The name 'Chupa Chupa' means 'Suck-Suck' in Spanish, referring to how you must suck on the seed and fiber to extract the juicy and sweet parts of the fruit.
I have seedlings of chupa chupa (Quararibea cordata) growing at my farm as well as my house. They are doing great but could do better if I corrected the soil deficiencies.

What a beautiful tree.
I love the chupa-chupa tree. It truly is beautiful!
Ese árbol está hermoso. Those warts in the leaves are normal, no issue at all. Zapotes in our Valle del Cauca are very common. We are so blessed in that sense. There a quite some species similar to this one, many of them in Colombia. I hope you can cultivate some of those too. Variety of tropical fruits in our country is astounding.
What an interesting fruit!
Super cool gracias por el video!
Your welcome I am glad you enjoyed it!
Very very very rare fruit it’s interesting!
The tree does grow and fruit in south Florida . I have 3 trees growing nicely. Also chontaduro palms grow well. I am from Cali Colombia phd scientist with a hobby on tropical plants.
Wonderful! Thank you for letting me know that they grow in South Flordia. I have to plant some in the ground.
The tree probably could be propagated by grafting. However to import scions there are several hurdles to over come with usda/fsis regulations
What is the lowest temperature your chupa chupa has endured?
omg i live in south florida and i have three sapote seeds i wanna plant them outside how long until the tree begins to fruit?
Nice work Harley 👍🏼 always very interesting videos. Keep them coming 🙏🏼
Thanks Phillip! I appreciate your support.
Cool thanks
I heard the fruit takes 2 years to grow from the flower, if that’s true that would be crazy
hola es hermafrodita la flor o necesita de otro árbol cerca para fructificar ? saludos de jujuy argentina
Very nice Vedio
Tiene arbol de zapote en Florida?
Cuando empieza a venderlos?
We have it here in the Philippines, the seeds came from Columbia.
Can get root which air-layering?
I will try- I have not tried yet before.
It’s possible but never tried it.
@@fernandodelcorral4012 I try already
They Can get root by air layering(marcotting)
Kool I am sure you needed a mature or a well established tree to do so. By doing do it may take shorter times to fruit versus propagation via seed. I have an old friend in bogota that is growing some pest resistant Andean blueberry. We went to school at univ of Georgia. His an entomologist I am a microbiologist
You need.to ship them to the US make that $$
In the future I am planning to start shipping fruits from here but it will be a challange. Colombia has so many export restrictions. Perhaphs a seed selling business out of Colombia might be more reasonable. But I hope to ship you fruits from Colombia in the future.
Importing non Indiginuous plants to the US is complicated.
I have adapted the soil conditions and growth requirements . The tree grows very fast. I Akso have Guama tress but from Hawaiian stock
The lowest south Florida temp the plant has endured out of the ground in a pot it’s 49 f.
Ay mi favorito, hace mucho no como chupa 🥺 en que parte de Rozo esta tu finca?
Oh very interesting! They look so yummy... that would be amazing if they did grow in FL. Hope you can do a follow up on the chupa chupa. Thank you for sharing.
When I am back in Florida I would be more than happy to do a followup video on my chupa-chupa seedlings for you! Thanks for reminding me :)
안녕하세요!
잘보고 있습니다.
정말 고맙습니다!
😁😁💕💕
Nice do you sell seeds
So Amazing .. send me this fruit
Is it also same as sapote?
This is Colombian Sapote - different from sapote such as Mamey sapote or white sapote. It’s actually Quararibea cordata
I want to buy your seeds
