Ohh duh, sorry about that. I had totally forgotten that I posted that.

The abstract (http://136.145.83.33:8000/jspui/bitstream/10476/468/1/pag.11.pdf) says that the brix ranged from 19.52 to 27.54, the viejo at the low end and one called "felipe mayo" at the high end. The viejo was most productive, with an average of 5.6 fruits per tree per month -- however production in terms of weight was a mere 21.92 kg per tree. On the other hand, a cultivar called "adelantado #2" showed a production of 4 fruits per tree per month but with an average production weight per tree of 42.64.

So, in terms of raw brix, the winner was felipe mayo (never heard of it).

That's fine! Thanks Cookie Monster! Wonder why felipe mayo is not catching on more? Looks like Fairchild has it. If you look at the link below there's a table on the fifth page that say Fairchild has that variety.

If it's worth growing here in FL, then the titans of mamey sapote in FL -- Lara Farms -- would have it. You should check with them.

Interesting. I thought the Pace was superior in flavor even to the Pantin. The flavor of the pace is astounding; it has a sweet caramel flavor...

In that case, I'm looking forward to mine getting big enough to produce.  I love Pantin.  My only other tree is a Magana, which is terrible IMO-at least grown on Windward Hawaii.
