Description
Chrysophyllum sp. “Massapê” — Exceptionally Sweet White-Pulp Bahia Fruit
A sweet-fruit discovery can be exciting without a dramatic species name. This accession comes under the local collector label “Massapê” and is tentatively placed in Chrysophyllum, a genus of the Sapotaceae family. The collector reports years of attention to the source locality, followed by a 2026 opportunity to collect its fruit.

- Pulp: described as abundant and white.
- Astringency: collector reports none, an important point for fans of Sapotaceae fruit.

Why collectors may be interested
The combination of the source-reported flavor profile and a little-known accession makes this an interesting choice for collectors of uncommon edible Sapotaceae. We deliberately do not claim an official species name, a documented conservation status or a guaranteed time to first fruit.
