Sapota (Achras zapota)
The large evergreen tree grows to about 23 metres (75 feet) tall and has hard, durable, reddish wood. The small pinkish white flowers produce an edible fruit that has a rusty brown peel, is rather spherical, and measures about 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) in diameter
Sapota (Achras zapota) commonly known as chiku is mainly cultivated in India for its fruit value, while in South-East Mexico, Guatemala and other countries it is commercially grown for the production of chickle which is a gum like substance obtained from latex and is mainly used for preparation of chewing gum.
