Tasting First Vernon White Sapote After 8 Years

[@steffiejoe]

Thanks for sharing. 7 years, lots of patience and care has paid off. I lost my Suebelle Sapote, not sure what I did wrong. I am looking for another one, but in Texas they are hard to find.

[@gopherbobz]

Fantastic. Thank you. Love hearing taste reviews of white Sapote. I've had one that tasted like vanilla sugar cookie(biscuit).

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Nice!

[@Elmnt5]

Your garden is truly an inspiration! To have everything so green and healthy! wow Just WOW! I tasted my first white sapote 2 days a go and I was taken aback how delicious of a fruit it is! But thanks to you I even know what it is! If you can share/do videos of you trimming or giving recommendations of how to keep trees of "manageable" size...that would be fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your garden!

You will find many pruning videos on my channel by using the search feature with the word pruning. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

My Vernon has always been my healthiest looking tree, and is flowering for the first time now. My Chris tree is the weirdest. The leaves always look discoloured and almost sick looking, but I understand this is normal for that variety. Is grows at half the speed of the Vernon right beside it, and receives the same fertiliser. Wilson also grows fast and strong.

[@davidsanchezheredia4089]

Wow, fantastic like always. Thank you very much for share this video, I am your fan. Greetings from Mallorca, Spain.

Hola!

[@tlc8386]

Mine is doing this exact same thing but here in Southern California here in January. The Vernon. Usual to have big seeds---mine do.

[@sydneyfruitgardening]

Nice one, I tried these at the shops when I saw them for sale. I can see the potential but the shop bought ones weren’t sweet enough. I detected hints of coconut underneath the sweetness as well. I planted the seeds, and have seedlings now! If I can’t buy a grafted one I’ll try find some cuttings when the seedlings are bigger and graft them!! Thanks for the video.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Good luck!

[@nareegreel]

I'm eating a white sapote while watching this, yum!

My white sapote is about 2 years old and it is flowering now, do you think I should cut off the flowers? I can’t wait to taste the fruit

[@gpabui5256]

Are you planting them in the pot (very small) or you cut out the pot bottom so the roots are spreading free? Thank you. Enjoy your fruit of labor 👍

I actually have another Vernon growing in my nursery---it's about two years old now. A long way to go though.

[@GraftingTactick]

Wow, those plants looks so healthy, you look after them really well👌👍

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Thanks!

[@LivingMiracleHomestead]

You always inspire me to find a new fruit to try.

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy26]

You should get Rainbow White Sapote & Walton White Sapote. A lot of people say they are the best tasting

[@justkool112288]

Hey ! would like to know what is the better black Sapote to grow according to your experience.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

My Black Sapote are still young, only the seedlings have fruited.

[@justkool112288]

Sorry ! what we meant was which variety of black Sapote tastes nice as you have tasted many.

[@tiboshaman]

Amazing !! do white sapote needs more than one tree to be politated ?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

No

[@benjaminbroudy2982]

I was at my local nursery and they had trees labeled "white sapote" but the tag had a picture of mamey sapote... so um... who knows what it is

[@maggiewang8861]

Which variety is the sweetest among Lemon gold, Suebelle, Vernon?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

All 3 are very sweet, only difference is the slight variation in taste.

[@frasercoastfoodforest3092]

That looks so delicious. I would put the white sapote up there with one of my favourite.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Definitely. It's so good!

[@petermvaughan]

It is a tropical tree but grows at high elevations where it is colder than tropical trees.

[@WilhelmWKohl]

Looking for some of these plants here in Sarasota, Florida

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Good luck!

[@margaritamariarodriguez3588]

Try Sulcata Nursery !

[@kim-uyentruong3416]

Please tell me which variety of white sapote would you get if you can ONLY choose 2.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Lemon Gold and Suebelle

[@kim-uyentruong3416]

@@RealLifeFruitopia thanks for the reply. Thought you like the Hawaii supreme? Can you let me know what influenced you to selected above 2 for Melbourne?

[@kim-uyentruong3416]

@@RealLifeFruitopia are these the one bearing larger fruits?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

@@kim-uyentruong3416 Hawaiian Supreme is my personal favourite but gets the most scale of all, literally on each leaf each year. Lemon Gold is the heaviest bearing and most consistent, Suebelle carries fruit most of the year and ripen when the others are done.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

@@kim-uyentruong3416 Lemon Gold has larger fruit, Suebelle medium size.

[@НатальяГолованова-з5н]

Is it a vigorous grower?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

It sure is.

[@bobbyphaypaseuth572]

I have a White Sapote tree that I just got a few months back

[@kayakman9845]

I have 15 or more of the trees and it went down to freezing and it is just fine

[@bobbyphaypaseuth5519]

How long does it take to get the first set of fruits??

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Typically 3-5 years with most grafted varieties, the Vernon took 8 years.

[@bobbyphaypaseuth5519]

Just wondering since mine is small an it has flowers in them

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

@@bobbyphaypaseuth5519 It'll fruit within 12 months of flowering.

[@bobbyphaypaseuth5519]

@@RealLifeFruitopia hopefully I can keep it alive. This California summer heat can get up to 100 degrees

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

@@bobbyphaypaseuth5519 Place in shade

[@sikuanyu8329]

Vernon better or suebelle better?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

In my opinion, Suebelle is slightly better, but Vernon is also good.

[@SoCalTropicalgardener]

Nice! I also have a Vernon that just finished its second summer her in Southern California. I have one fruit that set and held that is about the size of the Vernon you picked. Im uncertain when it will ripen. Its been on the tree about 6-7 months now. Cant wait.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Sounds great!

[@Hannah-jk3dk]

We call that fruit Mexican Apples and they grow well

[@oftin_wong]

It's a tiny tree for 7 years Certainly it would grow better in a humid tropical environment

[@lyonheart84]

One day I'll taste one lol 🤞

[@amaraganesh4076]

Thanks George for nursery adresses😁

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

No worries

[@uthayakumarselvaraj1551]

where can i get seed ...and send to malaysia ,,

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Seedling is not recommended for white sapote. Try finding a grafted tree.

[@henrykarrowkamara9958]

Can I buy fruits from you?

[@mannybonilla3694]

😁 tengo mi 🌳 árbol de sapote desde ase 6 años asta lo iva a cortar 🤔 nunca a dado nada jejeje esperare 2 años mas a ver que pasa 😂😂✌

Hi George. You have shadow banned one of my other channels probably because I left you a silly troll comment earlier this year. I apologise for that and wanted to tell you that I now love your videos and find them very inspiring! Would love it if you unbanned me so I can leave positive comments & questions again. Cheers
