Black Sapote (Chocolate Pudding Fruit) – The Most Underrated Tropical Fruit Tree

Black sapote, also known as the chocolate pudding fruit, is one of the most underrated tropical fruit trees you can grow in South Florida. In this video we taste several varieties of black sapote, discuss the best varieties to grow, and explain when the fruit is perfectly ripe. Many people try black sapote at the wrong time and think they don't like it. But when it's fully ripe, the texture becomes incredibly creamy and pudding-like. Black sapote trees are amazing because they produce fruit during the winter months when very little other fruit is available. In South Florida, the season typically runs November through March, making it a valuable fruit tree for year-round harvest. We also look at several varieties including: • Rineke (one of the sweetest varieties) • Wilson • Black Beauty • Matt Snow / Matt’s Giant • Excalibur • Bernicker These trees are extremely productive and easy to grow. Some mature trees can produce hundreds or even thousands of fruit every year. If you're planting a tropical fruit orchard or just want a productive fruit tree in your yard, black sapote is definitely one to consider.
