	== Description ==		== Description ==
	Black sapote is ~~a tropical persimmon relative whose~~ ripe ~~flesh turns~~ dark brown ~~and~~ custard-like. ~~The tree benefits~~ from ~~sun~~, ~~drainage~~, and ~~protection from hard frost~~.		[[File:Diospyros digyna 2.jpg\|thumb\|left\|240px\|Diospyros digyna fruit, identified on the Commons file page as black sapote.]]
			Black sapote is an evergreen tree in the Ebenaceae. Its ripe fruit develops dark brown, custard-like flesh and is eaten as a dessert fruit. Useful Tropical Plants describes trees from roughly 10 to 25 m, while cultivated specimens are often maintained smaller; the source also records dry or wet mixed-forest habitat in Mexico, Central America, and northern South America.

	The accepted genus, family, and order are [[Diospyros]], [[Ebenaceae]], and [[Ericales]].		The accepted genus, family, and order are [[Diospyros]], [[Ebenaceae]], and [[Ericales]].

	== Cultivation ==		== Cultivation ==
	Black sapote is a humid-to~~-seasonally~~ dry ~~Mexican~~ and ~~Central American tree. Grow~~ it in warm ~~sun with deep drainage and regular moisture; the mature tree tolerates short dry periods~~ better than ~~cold~~ or ~~waterlogged ground~~.		Black sapote is a humid tropical to subtropical tree of dry or wet mixed forest, often near sea level. It tolerates a range of soils and is reported to survive flooding, but it is sensitive to drought; warm, regularly watered growth is a better cultivation target than either chronic dryness or stagnant container media. Protect young growth from frost.

	~~Moist, well-drained soil; warm tropical to subtropical conditions. Provide airflow and avoid standing water unless the species is being grown in a deliberately wet habitat.~~		=== Soil ===
			The available species account records adaptation to calcareous soils and a preferred pH around 6 to 7, with tolerance outside that range. Use a moisture-retentive but aerated medium and avoid allowing a container root ball to dry hard.
	=== Soil ~~and water~~ ===
	~~Moist~~, ~~well~~-~~drained soil; warm tropical~~ to ~~subtropical conditions; preserve native drainage and organic-matter conditions rather than treating all tropical fruit trees alike~~.

	=== Sun and humidity ===		=== Sun and humidity ===
	~~Most plants in this group prefer bright light; young trees may need shelter while roots establish~~. ~~Humidity should be paired with~~ airflow~~, not stagnant enclosure~~.		Full sun is suitable, with some shade tolerated. The native range includes humid mixed forest, so high atmospheric humidity is useful, but foliage still benefits from airflow.

	=== Seasonal changes ===		=== Seasonal changes ===
	~~Flowering~~ and ~~harvest vary with local wet/~~dry ~~or cool/warm cycles~~. ~~Adjust~~ irrigation to the ~~species' native rhythm~~ and protect ~~warm-tropical plants during cool weather~~.		Native habitat spans wet and seasonally dry forest, so water demand can change through the year. Maintain moisture during active growth and fruit development, reduce irrigation only when the root zone remains safely hydrated, and protect the tree whenever temperatures approach its frost limit.

	== Propagation ==		== Propagation ==
	Fresh seed ~~2–6 weeks~~; ~~grafting preserves fruit type. Seedlings may vary~~ in ~~fruit quality~~ and ~~maturity; use grafting~~ or ~~other clonal methods~~ when a ~~named selection~~ must be preserved.		Fresh seed is the ordinary method; the species account reports germination in about 30 days and warns that seedlings form a long taproot early. Grafting or budding onto seedling rootstocks is used when a seedless or otherwise selected fruit type must be preserved. Seedling trees are reported to bear at about 5 to 6 years, while grafted trees may bear at about 2 to 3 years; these are source reports, not universal schedules.

	== Flowering, fruiting, and harvest ==		== Flowering, fruiting, and harvest ==
	~~Cool~~-~~season or warm-season crop depending on climate;~~ soft dark ~~custard fruit. Local climate, cultivar, rootstock, pollination,~~ and ~~rainfall can shift the calendar substantially~~.		The species account describes flowers on new shoots and reports that some trees are self-incompatible, although solitary female trees may occasionally set seedless fruit. Ripe fruit is soft and dark inside; harvest timing is not established as one universal season and should be recorded by locality and selection.

	== Fruit and uses ==		== Fruit and uses ==
	~~The ripe fruit~~ is eaten fresh and ~~may be~~ used in drinks, ~~preserves, desserts, or regional savory preparations. Handle~~ ripe fruit ~~carefully because many tropical fruits soften rapidly after harvest~~.		Ripe black sapote is eaten fresh and used in desserts and drinks. The unripe fruit is reported as a fish poison, so only ripe fruit should be treated as a food. The flesh softens substantially at maturity and should be handled gently.

== Identification and description ==
Black sapote is a tropical persimmon relative whose ripe flesh turns dark brown and custard-like. The tree benefits from sun, drainage, and protection from hard frost.

The accepted genus, family, and order are [[Diospyros]], [[Ebenaceae]], and [[Ericales]].

== Growing ==
Moist, well-drained soil; warm tropical to subtropical conditions. Provide airflow and avoid standing water unless the species is being grown in a deliberately wet habitat.

=== Soil ===
Moist, well-drained soil; warm tropical to subtropical conditions; preserve native drainage and organic-matter conditions rather than treating all tropical fruit trees alike.

=== Sun and humidity ===
Most plants in this group prefer bright light; young trees may need shelter while roots establish. Humidity should be paired with airflow, not stagnant enclosure.

=== Seasonal changes ===
Flowering and harvest vary with local wet/dry or cool/warm cycles. Adjust irrigation to the species' native rhythm and protect warm-tropical plants during cool weather.

== Propagation ==
Fresh seed 2–6 weeks; grafting preserves fruit type. Seedlings may vary in fruit quality and maturity; use grafting or other clonal methods when a named selection must be preserved.

== Flowering, fruiting, and harvest ==
Cool-season or warm-season crop depending on climate; soft dark custard fruit. Local climate, cultivar, rootstock, pollination, and rainfall can shift the calendar substantially.

== Fruit and uses ==
The ripe fruit is eaten fresh and may be used in drinks, preserves, desserts, or regional savory preparations. Handle ripe fruit carefully because many tropical fruits soften rapidly after harvest.
