Abstract
Sapotaceae family includes tropical species, which are producers of high quality fruits. In Cuba this family has taxa with present and potential uses. For this reason, there were evaluated aspects of distribution, behavior and expression of wild genotypes of Sideroxyon moaense in “Alejandro de Humboldt” National Park because of its reduced distribution and knowledge. For the first time in science, a fruit description is produced: spherical of high intense green color and yellow when mature; average heavy of 162.8 g and one to four seeds inside. According to the soil they are present trees may have a shrub (2-10 m high) or tree aspect (+10 m high). A poor natural regeneration was perceived beneath adult plants and around. For this reason, there were started management actions to protect and foment the increase of populations of this species as well as to allow future opportunities linked to its culture.
