🌼 Cultivation & Planting Information

• Common Name: Matt's Giant Black Sapote / Chocolate Pudding Fruit / Black Persimmon

• Botanical Name: Diospyros nigra (syn. Diospyros digyna)

• Product Type: Premium Exotic Fruit Tree Seeds / Tropical Edible Landscape

• Quantity: 20 Seeds per pack

• Sun Requirements: Full Sun to very bright, high-intensity indirect light (Essential for robust trunk development and maximizing fruit sugar brix levels)

• Soil / Medium: Requires a loose, fertile, well-draining potting medium. Highly adaptable to a wide range of soils including sandy loams, moist soils, and organic mixes, but dislikes heavy stagnant clay.

• Watering: Moderate and consistent. Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy during the early germination and sapling stages. Mature trees can tolerate brief periods of flooding but prefer regular watering.

• Growth Rate: Steady and vigorous once established; can be pruned to maintain a highly manageable backyard height.

• Hardiness & Climate: Thrives beautifully in warm tropical and sub-tropical climates (USDA Zones 10-11). Can withstand brief, light mature frosts down to 30°F (-1°C) once established. Excellent for large greenhouse containers in cooler zones.

💡 Pro Germination Tip: Black Sapote seeds have a smooth, firm seed coat. For a rapid and highly uniform breakout, soak your seeds in room-temperature water for 12 to 24 hours prior to sowing to fully hydrate the embryo. Plant the seeds approximately 1/2 to 1 inch deep in a warm, moist, well-aerated seed-starting mix. Maintain a steady ambient soil temperature between 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C), place in bright indirect light, and watch for strong green shoots to surface within 14 to 30 days!
