Diane says... I've just picked some of mine. Same size tree and fruit. They have a slight yellowish tinge on top. Check out the photo on the Daley's fruit tree tag on this web site and that is the colour you are after! Mine are still hard 5 days later, but I check them every day. Happy eating!

Wayne says... Thanks to everyone for your responses. I have been waiting and weighting for the calyx to lift but I thought I may have missed something as they seem to be taking so long.	About the Author 29th June 2007 10:07am #UserID: 1 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees

Peter Myers says... When a black sapote fruit is ripe, the skin changes colour to a muddy light brown colour. And the fruit is soft to the touch - it you press it with your finger, the indent remains.

fruitist says... Black Sapote - You have to let it goes fully soft (ripe) otherwise slightly soft (ripe) fruit will sting your tongue and throat for a few hours. They can go fully soft even after picking. They may be poisonous if not fully ripe. In Phillipines, they use unripe fruits to kill fish. White Sapote - texture like pear but sweeter. Seeds are deadly poisonous according to Julie Morton.	About the Author fruitist Brisbane south 13th September 2008 2:13am #UserID: 1352 Posts: 9 View All fruitist's Edible Fruit Trees
