You are buying a Chocolate Pudding Fruit / Black Persimmon / Black Sapote (Diospyros digyna) seedling as pictured, planted in a 7.5 litre pot. You are buying a plant the same or very similar to the one in pictures. These seedlings hail from a top-notch crop grown in Brisbane, Australia. They boast large, juicy fruits with sky-high sweetness levels, thanks to their high brix count. These plants are rock stars in the North Island, thriving and producing delicious treats! The Black Sapote is a Tomato-like fruit, 10 x 13 cm. large berry with a thin and firm rind. Its colour is shining dark green with brown specs. The fruit flesh is rich, dark brown collared and custard like and is therefore called the Chocolate pudding fruit. Complete ripe fruits are often ugly brown. Black sapote's flesh is rich and custard-like, with a sweet, nut-like mild flavour and when ripe fruit pulp is blended with milk, cream or ice-cream, it tastes like mild chocolate - but without the caffeine or calories!
