Good morning, and happy thanksgiving. I live in Tamarac and am using my phone to write this. My e-mail address is jimsned2@comcast.net. I also have a black sapote tree, would love to see yours if not too far away. I aso hav Orange,Banana,Custard apple,Star fruit,Fig,and Avocado tree. Are you interested in any of those?

I have some black sapote seeds up for grabs. I will trade them for some fruit seeds of something that grows in South Florida. I am only looking for fruit seeds please. Name & Family English: Black Sapote, Black Persimmon, Chocolate-Fruit, Chocolate Pudding Fruit Spanish: Zapote Negro German: Schwarze Sapote Scientifical: Diospyros digyna, Family: Ebenaceae Same family: Kaki - Mabolo - Japanese Persimmon Type Tropical Fruit, 2 to 10 seeded. Seeds: shining dark red-brown colored. Many trees bear pitless fruit. Mexican relative to the Chinese persimmon. Description, Taste & storage The Black Sapote is a Tomato-like fruit, 10 x 13 cm. large berry with a thin and firm rind. Its color is shining dark green with brown specs. The fruitflesh is rich, dark brown colored and custard like and is therefore called the Chocolate pudding fruit. Complete ripe fruits are often ugly brown. Black sapote's flesh is rich and custard-like, with a sweet, nut-like mild flavor and when ripe fruit pulp is blended with milk, cream or ice-cream, it tastes like mild chocolate - but without the caffeine or calories! Tree The black sapote is native in Mexico and Guatemala. It is cultivated in Florida, The Philippines, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Hawaii. It is an evergreen tree and grows upto 8 meter or more.

I have purchased 3 gallon sizes of yellow cacao, black sapote, and a rollinia. Does anyone have any experience with these three as far as growth and yield. . Thanks.

My tree produces bushels of fruit every year. I pluck them when they are a nice size with the top peeling up. Them you wait till the fruit skin turns s very pale green and the fruit turns mushy to where you think it is over ripe. In Fort Lauderdale my tree had fruit ready in December.
