Manilkara achras, chico sapodilla, also gets giant. There is a monstrously large one at Foster's Garden in Honolulu.

Wild Sapodillas and I are well aquainted. I spent about 2 years clearing land in the Belizian jungle with an axe and machete. During that time I had to cut 4 fairly large sapodillas. After cutting I split them with wedges for house pillars. The heartwood lasts 20 years in the tropical soil. The wood is so hard, you have to relax your grip on the axe on each strike once you get into the heart. I did plant 6 types of grafted sapodillas, though, in case anyone takes me for a sapodilla hater. The tallest tree in my region of the jungle was some sort of legume and it was only 40m tall. Before I measured it, I had estimated it to be about 55 m tall.
There seems to be a lot of inconsistent information published on the height fruit trees can attain in the wild. I wonder if there is a reliable source for this information.
