Meet the Black Sapote Plant
Step into the world of exotic fruits with our Black Sapote Plant (Diospyros digyna). This evergreen beauty hails from the vibrant landscapes of Mexico and is a member of the Ebanaceae family.
The Black Sapote plant, often reaching an average height and width of 25 feet, is a sight to behold. Its glossy, dark green leaves add a touch of elegance, making it a perfect addition to your garden or indoor plant collection.
But the real magic lies in its fruit. When ripe, the fruit takes on a greenish-brown hue, encasing a chocolate-colored pulp within its thin skin. Add a spoonful of honey to the pulp, and it transforms into a glossy, shiny, and delectable treat, rightfully earning its nickname – the Chocolate Pudding Fruit.
The Black Sapote plant is a hardy specimen, withstanding temperatures as low as 28 – 30 F. It bears fruit in the fall and spring, ensuring a steady supply of the Chocolate Pudding Fruit for your culinary adventures.

Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
