It’d be great to know how they taste and compare to one another. Especially Denzler, Redlands, and SueBelle.

Living in a cold climate I appreciate you getting the word out on all these different fruits. Ill never be able to grow these unless I can build a deep deep winter greenhouse, but it gives me a reason to visit FL.

I have 6 varieties of White Sapote. Got bloosms last spring, Didn't hold fruit. Hope to get fruit next spring. I live in Satsuma Florida. If you can grow Citrus you can grow White Sapote. I am in zone 9b.

Paul, I'm skeptical of a fall fruiting white sapote. Since Jack and the Beanstalk told you the Densler fruits in the fall, if they have their own fruiting tree, maybe you can go back when it is fruiting and show us the wonders of a fall WS. Also let us know how they taste!

@FruitfulTrees 2 ай бұрын

they have been growing WS in Pots for years and they says the raccoons get the fruits from the tree but that's when it fruits. I hope they are correct because it would be wonderful to have a fall WS.

we purchased a campbell from Lara farms. We will plant and protect up here in North Fl. We have a few plants in a greenhouse so we hope to add white sapote to the collection in the spring. our black sapote we planted in 2021 has its first six fruits this year. also from Lara Farms. Thanks Paul

Hi Paul. In terms of diseases white sapote's new leaves are the most delicious food for spider mites. They love them the most here during our hot and dry summer, even more than tomatoes and cucumbers

Paul, I think there are 2 varieties of Suebelle W.S. One from Florida. also one from California. I have the California Suebelle I think it is more hardy than Redland. White Sapote is a beautiful tree. I want to grow all varieties I think there are more 50 varieties. I have lots of growing space.

I have Redlands growing in Orlando… flowered for the first time this year but didn’t hold fruit

@mayi757 2 ай бұрын

My Redlands is about 10 years old and this year is the first to hold a decent crop, fruits were a bit smaller on average this year, held one fruit until late September. I have kept it pruned small because it grows fast. I suspect that's the reason. The thicker the branches the more flowers and fruits it will hold

That Facebook post says lemon gold, which is supposed to fruit later: "Lemon Gold Origin Escondido, Calif., Martin Reinecke, 1958. A less vigorous tree, moderate crops, usually in November. Keeps well when ripe, can be picked immature and ripens well off the tree. Uniform, pleasing appearance; flesh quite yellow. Flavor excellent, occasional hints of lemon." A lot of the CA varieties can be bought online from Planting Justice nursery

It’s so fun, buying a fruit tree and planting it. Happy for you. I’m not sure if it’s true or not but I have heard that if you put a ring of copper around the base of your fruit, the snails don’t like to cross the copper 🤷‍♀️

I watched a show you did Pauly, where you asked the fruitful five what was the most underrated fruit tree some said the white sapote. Well that's good enough for me, I bought 15 plants. I bought Rinecke, Blumenthal, Macs Golden, Chris, Lemon Gold, golden Globe, Ortega, Denzler, Vernon. I hope to get a couple more. The Ideal plant for survival. But I live on a acre and have about 200 fruit trees.

Thank you so much for the great video! I LOVE your videos! I am growing 3 white sapote seedlings in the desertm all under 2 years old. Why did you take out the soursop? Also, if your white sapote is in fact and Redlands and so is your neighbor's, wouldn't that mean that they are genetically identical hence they cant cross pollination? Maybe his could be a Redlands seedling?

@@FruitfulTrees for purposes of cutting back or trimming, I was wondering if white sapote fruit on new wood or old wood? I have a couple that are supposed to be Suebelle seedlings but one seems to maybe have dwarfing characteristics in that it has never gotten over 3.5 or 4 feet tall and it tends to bush out more.

This is not for farmers: I always see people who buy grafted trees removing all the sucker branches. I always leave one. What if the seed stock is meant to produce a much better variety? Isn’t it worth taking a chance to find out? If it’s not a better tasting fruit, then get rid of it. You don’t have to wait years to find out if it was worth it, just use a scion from the seeded sucker branch and graft it back on the grafted variety. Within 3 years you can then remove it. You might find out that the sucker branch was your lottery.

That 'Campbell' fruit looks just like the one I tasted years ago at the University of Miami arboretum tree. While it had no bitter aftertaste it was nothing special, not better than my Redlands. The seed to flesh ratio also wasn't as good as the Redlands... Has anyone else tasted "Campbell" ? ... wonder if it's just another hype variety. A number of people are reporting the grafted part growing weak, then dying on them. I would be interested in a White Sapote that fruited outside the summer season here in Florida.
