Plant Insights and Care

The Green Star Apple tree, scientifically known as Chrysophyllum Cainito, hails from the Caribbean but has become quite popular in various tropical regions around the globe. In the warm climate of the UAE, this tree thrives under full sun exposure, although it can also tolerate partial shade. It favors well-draining soil—sandy to loamy in texture—with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Adequate watering, particularly during the dry and hot months, is necessary to maintain soil moisture, encouraging healthy growth and fruit production.

Key Points:

  • Origin: Caribbean.
  • Climate: Does well in the warm climates like the UAE.
  • Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade.
  • Soil: Well-draining, sandy to loamy soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.
