Tikal

A tier

Tikal is a Florida-associated sapodilla cultivar—productive in New World subtropical niches, with quality malt-sweet fruit for US specialty tropical growers. Named with Mesoamerican resonance. Soft ripe flesh browns sugar-sweet as species standard. US exotic fruit markets sell Tikal as local tropical luxury when available. Harvest hard-mature, ripen indoors. Wind and cold snaps limit range. Showcase spooned halves at tastings.
