Description
Mature trees can grow to over 25 m (82 ft) in height and are evergreen. It is frost sensitive. The leaves are elliptic-oblong, tapered at both ends, dark green, glossy, and 10–30 cm (3.9–12 in) long. The trees are dioecious, with individual trees bearing only female or male flowers.[1]
Black Sapote fruit are tomato-like and measure 5–10 cm (2.0–3.9 in) in diameter, with an inedible skin that turns from olive to a deep yellow-green when ripe and an edible pulp that turns from white when unripe to a flavor, color and texture often likened to chocolate pudding when ripe. The texture can be related to that of a papaya.
Nomenclature
