Chikoo (sapodilla/sapota) Not Flowering?

Question

My chikoo(sapodilla/sapota) tree is not giving flowers and if it gives one or two they turn black. What may be the issue?

Answer 1

Usually if a plant fails to flower, it isn't getting enough sun. Another important growing point of sapodilla is it needs well draining soil. If your tree's soil isn't, add some compost around the tree and work it in lightly, taking care not to disturb any roots. The article below tells how to fertilize it.
