jeeh:
Where the temperature is always between 20c/68f - 35c/95f?  Or is it like cherimoya that can only fruit highland tropics or in a mediterranean  like climate?

Gogu:
I don't think white sapote needs chill. I've seen fruit on a tree in waimanalo which has january lows of 66f.

fruitlovers:
White sapote fruits fine here in lowland tropics Hawaii. Does not need chill hours.

jeeh:
Interesting. So do you guys know if the lowland  fruits taste as good as those grown in higher altitudes? And does white sapote trees grown in lowland tropics produce the same yield as the trees in the highlands? Thanks guys.

They probably taste better in a drier climate, like most fruits.
