Food Forest DIY

Is anyone else growing black sapote? It's a fun subtropical fruit that's high in Vitamin C and fiber. The tree has waxy green leaves 🍃 and can get very tall if not pruned. The fruit is ready once soft. It's creamy like an avocado 🥑 but sweet like chocolate. Best used in pudding, ice cream or other sweets. I like other members of the sapote family better, but this is worth mentioning, if you've got the space. It grows in zones 9b to 11. Give it a try while it's in season! In Lake Worth, buy at Excalibur Fruit Trees. In Loxahatchee, try Caribbean Plants and Produce. 🥭
