Black sapote is a tropical fruit tree known for its chocolate-pudding-like fruit. It requires a consistently warm, frost-free environment making it a challenge in non-tropical climates. Two special care points for black sapote are its need for high humidity and well-drained soil. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to maintain a balance. Regular pruning is required to ensure a strong structure and enhance fruit production.
