Sapotaceae

6 plants in database

Sapotaceae in this database spans zones 10-12 with 6 species, so design it as a guild component instead of a monoculture block. Use its strongest role (Edible) intentionally and manage spacing for airflow because there are 3 recurring pests in this family. Anchor it in the Tree layer and pair with unrelated support species in other layers; if you save seed from multiple cultivars, isolate flowering plants to reduce accidental crosses within the family.
