My Chocolate Sapote tree is dropping its "fruit" before they have even
grown. The flower dies, then the fruit just starts to form and it drops
off. Any ideas? I am in Zone 9, sand soil amended with composted mulch. I
water the tree about every two weeks right now. Got lots of flowers and then
they fall to the ground. What am I doing wrong? What fertilizer should I
use? Currently using the one for citrus, avocado and mango. Thanks in
advance for any help. By the way, the flowers have a wonderful gardenia
aroma.

You know, Travis, it seems you'd rather no one ask a question around
here, just rely on Google. Boring. People asking questions make this
place interesting.
