    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.
