Black sapote seeds

Jason says...
No wonder all the black sapotes I've had tasted like mud. I've never waited for them to be quite that rotten :p. I was eating them with still some colour on the skin

You've never experienced a chocolate sapote unless you've mixed it with Bailey's. Mindblowing to say the least.

Annemarie says...
Do you have any more seeds left Phil?

Gus says...
Hi Phil,

If you still have seeds left of either fruit I would love to buy some from you.
didn't see this post before but hope you still have some left.

Cheers

Gus says...
Thanks Phil,

Very kind of you, but no pressure of course.

cheers

Gus says...
Thanks Phil

I appreciate your efforts.

Have you ever tried eating canistel? I hear they are good.

Cheers

They come up fine if just planted in the soil but to hurry them and improve the success rate, treat them like lotus seeds.Scrape them on concrete until you see the first hint of pale cotyledon before planting.This works for most hard seeds.

If the air temperature is not high enough, I sow them in proper sterilised seed raising mix on a heat tray. Care to not let them overheat, and nearly all will pop up within a few weeks. When they have one or two true leaves they should be potted up and grown on in a hothouse, or outdoors in hot weather. The seeds should be spaced at about 3cms centers, minimum. When using heat trays the depth of the mix should be no less than 6cms so that the fluctuating temperatures dont kill back roots, that is why the seedlings should be potted up reasonably earlly eough. The first watering should fully saturate , then hold back to watering when it needs to.without being too soggy or too dry. You will soon get the hang of it.

I think they might well be finished for the year unless anyone has some in storage.

I've got 9 on my tree, first season it's fruiting. they're about the size of a medium tomato at the moment. Not sure if they will get all the way to fully ripe but i think they will, tree was a seedling so not sure on variety

J says...
Thanks for that info, phil. Now to play the waiting game :)

J says...
Hi Phil, yes I'd love as many as you can spare! Can the seed be refrigerated for a few months and still grow?
