The Green Sapote, A Rare Tropical Fruit. (Achradelpha viridis (Pittier) 

 O. F. Cook, S. P. I. No. 43439.) 



The green sapote, or injerto, is found in the Guatemalan highlands. It is much superior in quality 

 to its relative, the sapote or mamey sapote (Achradelpha mammosa). The fruits have orange-brown 

 flesh inclosing one or two large seeds; the sweet, rich flavor resembles that of the sapodilla. The 

 tree will probably succeed in Florida and will certainly grow in Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the 

 Philippines. ("Photographed by Wilson Popenoe, Apr. 2, 1917, at San Cristobal, Alta Vera Paz,
