Soil Preparation
Mix garden soil, coarse river sand and fully decomposed organic fertilizer evenly to prepare loose and breathable slightly acidic planting soil. Build raised seedbeds for sowing to ensure smooth drainage and prevent the substrate from being soaked for a long time. Hardened clay soil will affect root respiration and slow down the growth rate of young seedlings.
Seed Pre-treatment
Sapodilla seeds only have weak dormancy caused by seed coat, and low-temperature sand stratification is not required. First clean the sticky pulp on the seed surface completely, use the water floating method to screen out shriveled, insect-damaged and empty seeds. Soak the full and healthy seeds in warm water of 30 to 40 degrees Celsius for 24 hours, take them out and sow immediately after soaking to speed up the germination speed. Fresh seeds have the highest germination activity, and long-term dry storage will significantly reduce the budding rate.
Sowing Method
Adopt drill sowing on the seedbed, bury the seeds 1cm deep in the moist substrate, cover a thin layer of fine soil and gently compact the surface, and water thoroughly once after sowing. Appropriately set up a sunshade net in the seedling stage to avoid strong midday sunlight burning the tender leaves. When the seedlings grow 3 to 4 pairs of true leaves, transplant them into nutrient bags or large flower pots for container cultivation. The stable high temperature period in spring is the best sowing time.
Germination Condition
Keep the substrate slightly moist without accumulated water, the optimal germination temperature is 22℃ to 32℃. Concentrated seedling emergence will be completed within 25 to 45 days after sowing. Cover breathable plastic film before germination for heat preservation and moisture retention, and open the film regularly for ventilation every day to avoid seedling mildew and damping-off disease caused by high humidity.
Daily Maintenance
Watering frequency: Keep the soil evenly moist in the seedling stage, water once every 2 to 3 days in hot and dry summer, once every 4 to 6 days in spring and autumn. Water mature fruit trees once every 5 to 7 days under continuous drought weather; stop watering on rainy days and drain all accumulated water thoroughly.
Drought tolerance: Medium drought resistance. After the root system is fully developed in the second year, adult trees can withstand short-term water shortage, and supplementary watering is needed under extreme high temperature and drought.
Pest and disease prevention: Common diseases include root rot caused by waterlogging and leaf spot disease in rainy and humid seasons; main pests include aphids, fruit flies and leaf miners. Control methods: Reasonably control the watering amount to ensure soil air permeability; properly prune overly dense branches to improve the ventilation and light transmission inside the canopy; remove diseased leaves and damaged fruits in time and spray low-toxicity fungicides for fungal diseases, and use conventional safe pesticides to eliminate harmful pests.

Other management points: More than 6 hours of full sunlight every day is conducive to robust tree growth, more flowering and higher fruit setting rate; insufficient light will lead to thin branches and less fruit. Appropriately trim redundant and disorderly branches every year in the dormant period to maintain a reasonable tree shape. Apply diluted phosphorus and potassium fertilizer frequently during the flowering and fruiting period to promote fruit expansion and improve fruit sweetness.
