Woow it has been a really long time since i had it... they are really good.. Now have you hear of white sapote? You should look for it they are good too, but it has a different flavor....

[@TrulyTropical]

We have a VERY old white sapote tree. The fruit are tiny, but I love the flavor! 2018 might be the year that we add a new variety of white sapote.... I'll have to figure out which variety might be best for us.

maybe you know other fruits or fruits that do not necessarily grow with you, but you know that it is not difficult to grow them, so that in the first season you can get fruits, or can your friends know?

does this fruit grows in full tropical climate like malaysia ? thanx andrew

[@TrulyTropical]

It should. It's native to the coastal areas of Mexico.

[@cliftonjindra2177]

This was so awesome, thank you! I really want to try to grow this, a chocolate pudding fruit, from seed, then graph it to my american persiommon bonsai. Is there any way you or someone could send me a few seeds? It would mean so much. Just think about it and get back to me please! Thanks!!

[@TheAnantaSesa]

It has to be compatible. Maybe those can be grafted. Not every fruit tree can be mixed together.

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

About 3 years ago I bought the Excalibur variety. In the past year it has doubled in size and is setting fruit for the first time. I can't wait to taste it! I saw on another of your videos that you have this variety. As far as taste, is there anything distinct about it, or can you at least tell me that it's a decent one compared to other varieties? I should really drop by one of these days when you're open since I live in the area.

[@TeaandFiona]

Im born and raised in Hawaii and I've never heard it called a black persimmon. Black sapote is what I've heard of.

I have never seen a black sapote tree with fruit on. I have seen small trees in nurseries and do like the dark green foliage. How does the fruit taste? Opinions seem to vary.

[@TrulyTropical]

You are correct that opinions vary a lot about the taste of Black Sapote! Of course, it has the nickname of 'Chocolate Pudding Fruit' and some people swear up and down that it in fact tastes just like chocolate pudding. Personally, I think the fruit has a mild, pleasant and slightly sweet taste. There isn't really a specific taste I can compare it to. The texture is really impressive- it's pudding-like and very creamy.

That's interesting. It looks very much like a regular Fuyu persimmon except for the fact that it's green. Is the fruit astringent before it turns to mush?

Unripe black sapote are dry and brown, and a bit astringent.

Thanks for watching. I hope you can try lots of tropical fruit someday!

[@priyankahabib8378]

You can grow it in a pot. Leave it outside in full sun during summer, then bring it inside and give it lots of light just like any other tropical plant. A 15-20 gallon container or something that's 20-24" tall and wide is perfect for a mature potted sapote tree. You can even grow mangoes and other fruits like that. I grow figs in a large terracotta that's a little bigger than 10 gallon, in Ontario, Canada. Just ordered a black sapote yesterday!

It is very rare, but it is possible that Black Sapote is not hermaphroditic. But it's also possible that it might need Calcium, Boron and/or Zinc
