Zapote (Pouteria sapota), also known as Chico Zapote, is a very hard, strong, dense wood. Its color varies from a deep, solid reddish-brown to a light reddish-orange, and it often displays a combination of both colors. Sapwood is cream in color and makes for a nice contrast against the red hues. It is normal for Zapote to have some minor checking and /or gum pockets.
