Synonym of sapodilla (“the edible fruit of this tree”)
According to Sperber, (Der Tropenflanzer, 1911, 15, 220) sapodilla plums were at one time sold in large quantities in Mexico, but in recent years, owing to over-tapping of the trees for latex, the fruits have diminished in size and become useless for edible purposes, and this trade has almost disappeared in consequence.
