Chong, you never cease to amaze me with what you are growing outdoors in Seattle, albeit the western bayside area. I have actually been in your neighborhood! Until a few years ago, a friend of mine from college lived only a half-mile south of you. I'd never imagined a Chico Sapote growing there, but come to think of it, the rainfall is about right!

I'm sorry to hear about the loss from the freeze. Since the Chico seemed to like it there, you might consider replacing it with Green Sapote -- an even better tasting and slightly more cold hardy Sapotaceae.
