Another positive is it ripens in the Winter
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.
