denise1 says... Of course it doesnt taste exactly the same as chocolate pudding , but at 95% the same isnt bad. Some palates detect other tastes and of coarse you must have a properly ripened good specimen. A small part is psychological because you see it similar to chocolate pudding. But whats wrong with that if it works for you. By adding in some whipped cream they taste even better. It is different to normal kaki persimmon. There is a cultivar of brown fruited kaki persimmon that I have never seen so I dont know how that one compares. If it is similar to choc pudding fruit then you could grow it instead in colder winter climates. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 13th July 2014 6:20am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Hi Thithi Black Sapotes can be readily bought in a number of fruit shops in my area like Springvale, Keysborough and Knox when in season. Season is not now but over summer. I find them not much taste and watery or mushy without texture but you're supposed to eat them overripe and soft. I'm surprised you want to grow so many difficult species here when there are easier ones more suitable for Melbourne's conditions. If you really want to have something that tastes like tropical fruit, then you should grow Asimina triloba - American Paw Paw. It tastes just as good and even more delicious than anything that grows in tropical zones. Cheers! | About the Author Linton Springvale, Vic 13th July 2014 12:14pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |
Thithi says... Thanks Linton, i will look for black sapote in summer. Probably bs is at the back of the 'list of things that I want to grow' for now. American paw paw is interesting. Thanks linton, i didnot know there was such plant. I looked it up on YouTube and yaminarareplants sell them for $35. It would be great for pawpaw lovers. I am more of jackfruit, mango, longan, star apple... person. The reason that I grow tropical papaya was Bunnings sold it for $10, and it looked so healthy so i thought what's a cute plant, worth a try.
