It is possible to grow black sapote in containers. Black sapote (Diospyros digyna), also known as "chocolate pudding fruit", is a tropical tree that is well-suited for container culture as it is slow growing and can be kept relatively small with proper pruning. When grown in a container, the tree should be planted in a well-draining, high-quality potting mix and kept in a bright, warm location with a minimum temperature of 60°F (16°C). The tree should be watered regularly and fertilized every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
