Tip for More Fruit on White Sapote (Easy)

[@familyfunadventure535]

I have a 12 years old white sapote growing from seeds.

[@ZaatarGardens]

Ohhh those must be nice! How does the fruit taste?

[@freespirit2194]

Thank you for that tip Moses. I want to get white sapote in the not too distant future and ill make sure to do that. Have a blessed day and stay safe :)

Enjoyed the video 👍 Few months ago I bought a White sapote tree grafted. Like the leaves 🌱🌱🌱

[@ZaatarGardens]

Great to hear! Which variety did you buy?

[@BlakesNaturelife]

Zaatar Gardens it’s a Younghans. How’s ya trees doing?

[@BlakesNaturelife]

Zaatar Gardens the pest love it but its coming back from grasshoppers and 🐛

[@ZaatarGardens]

I was supposed to upload my video on the update on them but too much going on today... I’m gonna do it tomorrow. They are pushing a lot of growth and setting a lot of fruit.

[@BlakesNaturelife]

Zaatar Gardens I understand that staying busy. Look forward to seeing the video soon. Can’t wait for mine to get a nice height. I’m going upload a video soon that I filmed a few days ago of the White sapote.

So it fruits on terminal buds on new growth & you prune the tips like mango?

[@SoulSeeker770]

Hi,. Finally they bloomed atronger... do yo know about Sonora and Tuolumne city? I could find similar climates to mine

[@ZaatarGardens]

The lowest they can handle is Zone 9b (Low 25°F)

[@ΓιώργοςΚανιάρης]

have you even considered grafting other varieties on your white sapotes? it could be interesting to add new flavours and also extend the fruiting season

[@ZaatarGardens]

Yes, that and my cherimoya tree as well

[@ΓιώργοςΚανιάρης]

i am looking forward to that video! and also to see what varieties you will try

[@ZaatarGardens]

We will see, especially for the cherimoya, since that is just the vigorous rootstock growing crazy.

[@ravijha4767]

Can we get calophyllum tree leaf

[@ekrokowski]

What is the spacing on your trees in that area... I am planting a Sapote near several other trees- avocado and pawpaw- but am worried about size control... especially since it is evergreen and will cast shade on the neighboring trees. Read that they can get quite large and vigorous.

[@ZaatarGardens]

First they are not fast growers at all, secondly you could prune any tree to any size you want. most of my trees are 6 to 8 years old and they still are only 7 feet tall due to me pruning them in the late summer (after fruit is harvested) and in the winter.

[@ZaatarGardens]

The spacings of my trees are around 6 feet

[@ekrokowski]

@@ZaatarGardens Great, thanks for responding and for the info! Happy spring.

[@ZaatarGardens]

You’re welcome and happy Spring to you as well

[@familyfunadventure535]

I have a 12 years old white sapote growing from seed. It is over 10 feet tall but no fruit. How can you make the tree produces fruit?

[@familyfunadventure535]

Does tipping the tree help it to produces fruit?

[@ZaatarGardens]

It always seems as though flowers get produced on lateral branches not vertical ones (nearly all trees)
