I have two Sapote seeds and would like to plant them in containers. How big should the container be to start the seed in? What kind of soil should I use? Would the tree be able to live through the winter in this climate 7 A? I live in North East Georgia. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Ellen from Georgia

I absolutely fell in love with these in Miami. Love the fruit and the tree. I just plant them in a well-draining soil. You can start them in a smallish pot just be sure to pot up once they start to grow. They are EASY to sprout. NO, they will not survive 7a outside--no way! But they are very tolerant as indoor plants in the winter. Pouteria zapota a.k.a. Mamey zapota.
