Comments (1)How big are they? On new leaves, old leaves? Truly black, or just brown? Picture would help. Might be underwatering....See MoreGrowing from seed: Mangosteen, Rambutan, Black sapote, Grumichama
Comments (4)Rambutan needs to be planted fresh. I planted mine in peat & it sprouted. I lost them later due to not keeping them moist, however. The black sapote varieties I am still experimenting with. The seed looks like a paw paw seed, which I have sprouted in soil....See MoreIs my Chocolate Sapote beginning to bloom?
Comments (15)"Sapote, I'm sorry to hear that yours died some years back. So how big was it when it happened? Yes, I've heard a lot that small fruit trees usually don't keep their fruit well. My Sugar Apple was sending out 7-8 fruit, but now only two has stayed around ... I don't know if they will reach their maturity. Still, as an amateur fruit grower, I'm always curious to see some form of growth. If they all drop off, I will give it a little more pruning so it will flush more and be ready for next year's bloom. Did you enjoy the fruit from it and are you going to get one to plant again?" When it was killed by the very cold nights, 27F might be, it also killed the Longan and burned Cherimoya leaves. The black sapote was 4" trunk 8ft tall. I never had the chance to taste the fruits already bigger than 3" and about ripen in a few weeks. I did not and will not plant a new tree until I taste the fruit to make sure my effort is worth. My white sapote was ok and now it's more than 12" trunk and 20ft tall with many fruits.

Comments (51)O.K. So how does one get a hold of some seeds? I've yet to try aGreen Sapote. I am a huge Mamey fan though. Because of where we live, we cannot really expect to plant Mamey, and get any fruit. That being said, I am extremely interested in getting a some GREEN SAPOTE SEEDS. I need to find someone who can send me seeds!!! If you know of anyone, or anyone that knows someone, who might be able to help, please let me know. I'm in it for the long haul, and am anxious to see how it does here: both on the barrier island, and on the mainland (not far from the ocean), in the Melbourne, Florida area. I am led to believe that the Green Sapote may be a tad bit "cold hardy", than any of the Mamey varieties. I am looking to try seedlings, GS grafted onto GS rootstock, and possibly GS grafted onto Mamey stock. I'll pay shipping, and whatever other "fees" that would be required. This may be the answer to my dreams, as the Mamey just will not make it this far up the East coast. My Rollinia are growing well so far. Please let me know if you can help me out by hooking me up with a contact. I'll pay whatever is fair. I can pay by Paypal, Money order, Cashiers' check, or credit or debit card....See Moregreenman62
