Chocolate pudding tree black sapote I love collecting tropical and sub tropical plants ever since I was little, that’s why at school together with a friend I built my own botanical garden at our school with real vanilla, coffee trees and we also grew rice in there. In order to get hold of plants, we both went on an internship and visited the Swedish botanical gardens and had plants donated to us. Unfortunately, our botanical department is no longer at the school, but now I have my own greenhouse

First black sapote (Diospyros nigra) aka chocolate pudding fruit harvested from this tree. Black sapotes are well adapted to South Florida’s climate and is worth tasting if you get the chance. #blacksapote #chocolate | Ready-to-Grow Gardens

Black sapote (Diospyros nigra) is native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. 🌎 It is super satisfying to eat and is personally my favorite fruit in the winter. 😋 The flavor of this unique persimmon relative is mildly sweet and not super chocolate-y, but the texture when ripe is creamy like pudding. 🍮 Florida-grown Black Sapote from miamifruit.org 🌈 #blacksapote #chocolatepuddingfruit #tropicalfruit #fruit #miamifruit | MiamiFruit
