So I bought a mamey sapote at the Global Foods store, and I will eat it soon. Advice on planting seed? Also, is the seed orthodox or recalcitrant?

Sorry HS.
cant help on this one at all.......but how I wish I could grow some of these lovely fruits over this side of the pond in my garden.
Anything that needs above temperate has had it I'm afraid!

I've germinated the closely related sapodilla. don't let the seeds dry. being a tropical, there shouldn't be any stratification needed or anything like that.

Ok. Guess what though. The seed had germinated inside the fruit when I cut it open

so yeah. Thanks! JONA, try one of those $600 portable acrylic or glass mini greenhouses. They are amazing; I am growing a mango seedling in one!
It won't let me post a pic tho, bigger than 2 mb
