Grow your own “Chocolate Pudding Fruit” with this 3–4 foot tall grafted Black Sapote tree, shipped in a 7-gallon nursery pot and ready to plant. Native to Central America, this tropical fruit tree is prized for its rich, brown custard-like pulp with mild sweetness and chocolate overtones.

This grafted variety blooms and fruits sooner than seed-grown plants, giving you a faster path to harvest. Even when grown in a container, Black Sapote can produce generously sized fruit. Once ripe, simply cut the fruit in half and enjoy the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture straight from the shell.

Fruits can remain on the tree for several months and typically ripen from mid-summer through late fall. A unique and rewarding addition to tropical and subtropical gardens.
