Ajesh, thanks for posting.  There was a lot contradictory input on the subject, but looks like you cleared a lot of hot air.  Appears there are tropical and subtropical varieties of this species. I'll need to update my "settings" on this topic :)
I think I know that person, who initially inquired about white sapote in tropics. If he gets planting material from you that would be ideal.

There are so many cultivars of white sapote, probably close to 100? Not surprising that some might be more suitable for the tropics than others.
Ajesh, what is the elevation at location where you grow your white sapote?
