Nick says... Unfortunately both plants arent related. The white sapote is casimiroa edulis while black sapotes are diospyros digyna (related to persimmons). Thats very impressive growing a black sapote in Victoria Pieter, any tips or pictures? @ Jim: wouldnt mind tasting a neapolitan sapote :P	About the Author Nick T Altona, VIC 15th May 2011 4:14pm #UserID: 2663 Posts: 727 View All Nick T's Edible Fruit Trees

Pieter says... Thanks for the info Nick, at this stage I am simply researching the possibility of growing it here in Vic. I believe it is possible, I have several types of Guava, Jambu (rose apple) Avocado and Pomegranate just taking off, we have had some early heavy frosts and they seem to be surviving them so far.... will keep posting progress. My aim is to grow as many tropical and sub tropical fruits as I can.	About the Author Pieter 30th May 2011 4:03pm #UserID: 5301 Posts: 3 View All Pieter's Edible Fruit Trees
