	Sapodilla
		The sapodilla is a fairly slow-growing, long-lived tree, upright and elegant, distinctly pyramidal when young; to 60 ft (18 m) high in the open but reaching 100 ft (30 m) when crowded in a forest.
		The sapodilla grows from sea level to 1,500 ft (457 m) in the Philippines, up to 4,000 ft (1,220 m) in India, to 3,937 ft (1,200 in) in Venezuela, and is common around Quito, Ecuador, at 9,186 ft (2,800 m).
		Generally, the ripe sapodilla, unchilled or preferably chilled, is merely cut in half and the flesh is eaten with a spoon.

		The impetus to actually undertake the casting and molding of the inscriptions on Sapodilla Hill finally came when Provo architect Rolf Rothermel suggested that reproductions of the inscriptions would make an interesting, attractive, and educational exhibit for the newly-remodeled Provo airport.
		Although the inscriptions on Sapodilla Hill are not unique--there are at least two other places where inscriptions occur on Provo and one on West Caicos--they are remarkable for the length of time that they span, their variety, and their numbers.
		Compared to the careful, skillful, painstakingly exact inscriptions of visitors in the 18th and 19th centuries, the graffiti of recent visitors is invariably crudely painted or hurriedly slashed into the rocks--a silent, sad commentary on modern society's fixation on more instead of better.
