Black Sapote - Maher (Grafted)

Comments: -

Very soft, sweet fruit .  Not choclatey in flavour, but is nice especially when mixed with other flavours (rum, vanilla ice-cream,etc).  My children love it. Planted early May - hope it copes with cold night temps coming soon (will have some help).

Update:09-Dec-2011: Growing slowly but surely.

Never tasted this chocolate pudding fruit either and i hear its the best. Love the glossy leaves.

I know that this seedling will form into a huge tree if not pruned. I intend to keep it small with regular pruning.

I have eaten chocolate pudding fruit before and really liked the taste. I have had flowers already but I pulled them off (which killed me :)) because I wanted the plant to focus on growth.

This is a unknown seedling tree and has been in for about 8 years.  Every year up to now, it has been covered in flowers......but they have all dropped off.  This year I have 3 that have actually set, and look to hold on ok.

Very fast growing tree and loves all the water it can get.

Black Sapote - Chocolate (Grafted)

Comments: -

I'm not actually sure of the 'type' of Black Sapote I have. Generic label and no type listed. Only in the ground a little while. Slow to start, but with a bit of extra water and lots of mulch it is now flushing new leaves. Beautiful new growth.

I didn't want to persist with a seedling tree in my limited space here in  the garden, so I dug up this tree before it got too big and replaced with a Bernicker variety.

Black Sapote - Chocolate (Seedling) ^5/10

Comments: -

Getting some decent growth on it now even though the pot is really not suited to it, still quite decorative though.  Leaves often show yellowing and dark green veins but doesn't appear to be deficient as they always come good with out any additives.

Fantastic looking tree as it loves a good watering and rewards you with abundant fruit and lovely foliage. Found the best time to pick fruit is when the sepal starts to lift off the surface of the fruit.
