Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently wet. The plant benefits from a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.Cosecha
Diospyros nigra, commonly known as the black sapote, is typically harvested when the fruit is fully mature and the skin turns from green to a dark olive or black color. The fruit should be soft to the touch, indicating ripeness. Harvesting is usually done by hand, using pruning shears or by gently twisting the fruit off the tree.

After harvesting, the fruit should be allowed to ripen further at room temperature until it reaches a custard-like consistency.Suelo
