Several members of my club grow black sapote right here in zone 9b. Shows up often on the tasting table. Tastes best whipped up with miracle whip.

I have to move mine inside. They are in pots. I am in Zone 9, but even a NorCal Zone 10 is too cold for them. They start to decline, etc. They seem to be doing well as pot specimens though.

Keith, my friend Bryan and Montoso Gardens has mangosteen seedlings but they are very slow to fruit (maybe 15 years). Some of his favorites include pulusan and rambutan which he also offers. Do you have those?
