Description: The Black Sapote fruit is called Chocolate Pudding fruit more for its appearance and texture than its flavor. The creamy insides have notes of caramel and date and make an excellent addition to smoothies. These seedlings will take an average of 5 years to begin flowering. They prefer full sun to part shade, average watering, and frequent mulching. Hardiness zones 10-12.
