Is a black sapote tree worth having?
johnb51:
Since it's in the persimmon family, I'd say you'd be much better off with a persimmon tree. Most people really like persimmons.
Nick C:
Being that you say you're short on space I believe black sapote is dioecious (still trying to find a definitive answer on this). Something to keep in mind.
Galatians522:
Maybe you could have a multi grafted persimmon with a chocolate pudding fruit branch?

I grew a black sapote from seedling and it fruited on its own in a few years, definitely does not need another tree to set fruit. I like it a lot but I could see why people might not like it as the flavor is mild and the ripe black fruit is off-putting to some. It tastes nothing like normal persimmon, they aren't really comparable in my opinion.

Thats good to know. My tree set one fruit that never amounted to anything otherwise flowers profusely and drops all of them.
