Catching up on your video while enjoying my coffee. Im heading out to the La Mimosa tropical nursery today , Anaheim location and definitely going to check out a sapote , though im wanting two ? Your taste test sold me on the choco . I'll see what they have . This nursery offers quarantined citrus if i show them my proof of house location due to restrictions on the huanglonbing pest . I also want a champagne or cocktail grapefruit dwarf tree , they juice up a delicious nectar unlike any citrus

One black sapote is all you need, I made room for more.

[@lyonheart84]

It's great to see you and Kim actually harvesting some 👍

[@SHANONisRegenerate]

Yum yum! Im envious of your eating experience. You have soo many trees planted in the ground aswell, Bravo!

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Thank you!

[@sydneyfruitgardening]

Awesome, so good you got to taste your own homegrown ones!

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Definitely! Next for them to grow in size.

[@sowyouthinkyoucanplant5630]

I've got a proper sized fruit sitting on the tree near Whangarei, NZ. But I feel like it has been on there for a year, still looking good to ripen, so won't be an issue with more fruits on the tree. I really like the taste and texture, something crave worthy even if it isn't a 'super sweet fruit' (some would dismiss it as not worth growing just because it isn't as sweet as a banana!) Will be much better in a few years with at least two other trees nearby for cross pollination.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Sounds great!

I just bought one of these. How old is your black sapote tree? How long did it take to bear fruit?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

It's now 8 years old, fruited the third year.

[@NeonMetric]

@@RealLifeFruitopia thanks for the reply

[@HFTLMate]

incredible looks delicious WOOOO

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Thank you 😋 We look forward to bigger fruit in the future.

[@vimeopictures5170]

How old is this plant? In how many years does the seedling tree produces fruit?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Tree is 8 yo, fruited after 3 years.

[@goldengirl65]

How many years did it take for the seedling to fruit compared to the grafted?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Both are close

[@vimeopictures5170]

Which one tastes best and worst out of these 3 fruits in your opinion: Sapodilla/chikoo , White sapote, and black sapote

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

My favourite is Sapodilla, WS then BS.

[@vimeopictures5170]

@@RealLifeFruitopia oh okay....that's actually sad to hear. Sapodilla can be easily grown in my region. I wasted so much money in importing these 2 plants. It's such a bummer to know that sapodilla tastes better than them!

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

It's not a waste. All 3 are unique.

[@enriqueaguilar422]

Yea is that a different variety of black sapote ?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Daleys seedling

[@zacharystapleton932]

That’s incredible. So glad they taste good:) black sapote is tasteless sometimes

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

These actually tasted closer to chocolate then any black sapote I've tasted.

[@sikuanyu8329]

If I just want to buy one tree is this can set the fruit?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

One tree is enough.

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

Oh must mention Black Persimmon as it should be called can take wet for long periods but unsure about Cold & Wet - Flooded in 24c water is different to 10c water

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

So far, so good after 6 years

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

@@RealLifeFruitopia No im saying the new planting in wet patch where all spice failed should be OK - my All-Spice in pot is up to my kneck now - still have to cook a cake with it with leaves in bottom

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

Black persimmon is what they are - pretty crap fresh but make the best smoothies or use in muffins? - seedlings are the best as they grow more vertical - my Mossman & Bernicker get to billiard ball size but are very weepy - not apical at all.

[@sowyouthinkyoucanplant5630]

I've had really good tasting fruit from a seedling, definitely a tree worthy of seedling growing, especially in cooler climates

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

@@sowyouthinkyoucanplant5630 i was sent 6 Huge seedling fruit from a mate near Byron Bay - they were reasonable fresh - made some muffins abd smoorhies - they were still bland - a Fuyu way better. We couldn't eat them all - froze the flesh of 3 - never used after 2 years so toseed out.

[@kimwelstead8994]

Mine grown in adelaide and ripened on the tree taste like rich chocolate. Not bland at all.

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

@@kimwelstead8994 You must have a very good imagination - eat some chocolate immediately after or maybe before 👀😁

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Mine also!

[@jacobseiffert7516]

What variety

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Daleys seedlings

[@dlhvac1]

My least favorite persimmon.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Great in smoothies
