Great!

[@PeterEntwistle]

Nice! I love the look of white sapote trees; very ornamental!

[@ModestoJeff]

I agree!🌴

The fruits looks fabulous. I have recently acquired a grafted white sapote tree in the UK and will attempting to grow it in a container.

I love these tropical fruit plants Jeff and I'm so excited that I was able to get hold of a couple of named varieties, i really feel that these are my best chance of getting edible tropical fruits here as they readily start to flower in Winter indoors which means I have all of Spring and Summer to try and get a fruit yo an edible size 👍

[@ModestoJeff]

They are great

How's your cannonball did it survive the frost ?

[@ModestoJeff]

What frost? My lowest temp so far was 35f, there might have been frost on the ground but its temps below 32f that usually damages stuff thats cold sensitive.

@ModestoJeff oh good your staying warmer we had 32-33 night burn new Pinkerton leaves that's all I noticed

[@mgs721]

Hi Jeff. I'm growing a White Sapote from seed. It's been in the ground about 2 1/2 years and is around 7' tall. In your experience, when do you think it might start flowering/fruiting?

[@ModestoJeff]

Could be 10 years
