Question & Answer
I would like to grow this particular fruit tree in Sydney. In Winter it can be quite cold and frosty, will this effect it's survival, growth rate? From: CANLEY VALE NSW
Sapodillas are tropical and require a frost free climate to thrive and grow well. Frost will damage or kill sapodilla trees. If you wish to attempt growing one you will need to work out a way of protecting it from all frosts. They are slow growing trees, especially when grow out of their native tropical range.
