White Sapote Peak Season Is Underway In Late Autumn 2024

[@lyonheart84]

It's remarkable to see how well they crop, and provided i move them indoors in cold weather looks likely to be one of the few tropicals i will be able get ( smaller ) edible fruit from

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I'm sure a grafted tree will crop well in a pot.

[@ahmedlunat1248]

That's an incredible harvest!

[@sydneyfruitgardening]

You’re the white sapote king!They’re such a great fruit and should be on supermarket shelves everywhere! Also not affected by fruit fly, such a bonus, no nets and bags needed. My kampong started flowering after it fruited. Then did another round of flowers. Only downside is fruit is quite small, I’ve grafted Mac’s golden on now though.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Thanks, Ben! Unfortunately, their short shelf life keeps them out of supermarkets, so best to grow your own. I like the Kampong, reminds me of the Hawaiian Supreme in flavour.

[@Sunset-kx9eb]

Amazing tree, so envy of your tree. All your tree produce so much fruits. ❤ it.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Good soil and climate for them.

[@DestinyJC777]

I’m dying to get one sapote Hawaiian supreme since you recommend it last time! But no one has stock!! Do you have any for sale?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

No, I don't sell any.

[@PeterEntwistle]

Incredible amount of fruit on your white sapotes this year, George!

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Yes, every year it's almost the same bounty. Thanks!

[@DonMontero-dg9lt]

really wanna try this once atleast.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Do it!

[@tropicaltreelover]

That Looks delicious Gorge! Can't wait to taste my white sapote,it's only one year old thought.I got two lemon gold and 6 other varieties except,the one I bought from deley are grafted on a younger rootstock and it's seem to grow slowly too, compared to the grafted on a more mature rootstock ,it's grow much faster.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Hope you enjoy when they fruit!

[@tropicaltreelover]

We definitely will,my kids like ice cream and when I have fruit white sapote to replace ice cream for them ,it will be definitely so so much better.

[@muhammadshah3755]

Another great video George!!! I will appreciate if you have time to review White Sapote Wiki Woo (famous in NZ) and share your thoughts. I am keen to know which variety of White Sapote from your garden will match with Wiki Woo..

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Thanks! Do you have a link?

[@xesoteryc]

Beautiful. If you clip a little bit of stem does it have more shelf life or is it negligible? I got nearly all my trees and plants after your videos, and my inlaws just gave me your same pruners after I mentioned you use them too :)

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I don't think the shelf life will improve by cutting from the stem like it does with other fruit. All my Fiskars tools have been used and abused for well over a decade and still do their job.

Hi George! The other day I paid $3 for one white sapote fruit at my local supermarket. With so many hanging in your trees you are a millionaire!! My Hawaiian Supreme and Macs Golden trees from Daley’s are coming soon and I’m very excited. Is your Hawaiian Supreme tree upright or spreading? Is there any tips for keeping it compact? BTW is the Indian white guava sweet? Have a good day.😊

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Yes, upright central growth and laterals branching off where the flowers come. I would sell the fruit, but there are too many dramas with certain people.

[@nokneesisaiah]

what website can i buy these from that ships to california?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Check online for your state.

[@nesq4104]

I'm in zone 11. Growing it from seed. How long before it fruits? And is growing from seed advisable

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Seed grown isn't advisable. Takes up to 10 years to fruit and can get over 20 feet tall.

[@nesq4104]

@@RealLifeFruitopia oh Lord. It's hard for me to get grafts because I'm in Puerto Rico

[@ainabearfarm8075]

Wow that is a lot of fruit!

[@Sunset-kx9eb]

Which varieties taste the best? They look as big as a persimmon.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Depends on personal tastes. My favourites are Hawaiian Supreme and Suebelle.

[@Sunset-kx9eb]

@RealLifeFruitopia oh ok thanks I'll try one of them. Are any of these you mentioned is the big fruit type?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

@@Sunset-kx9eb They are both mid sized.

[@Sunset-kx9eb]

@RealLifeFruitopia oh yeh, ok thanks George. Have a great night

[@D8V1Dx]

What taste better, white sapote or green gage plum?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Green gage are sweeter and good for a light snack, whereas white sapote can feed a nation.

[@marcuswelby921]

😅could not find Wilson or Lemon Gold variety in Florida.🙃

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Check online nurseries in California.

[@petersabatie4181]

can you send fresh seeds or fruits to grow in France ?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I wish I could, but not possible.

[@OGSOKGOSIDINTSI]

from my personal experience, 15s are still acceptable for most tropicals, especially if you have extremely hot summers, i.e., late 30s - early 40s.,

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Winter highs in Melbourne are fine for most tropicals, ranging from 13C-18C. The real issue are the lows, which are between 0C-13C from April to October.
