thanks jack
one was from seed, and there was a mistake in an order i made, so i wound up with 2 grafted plants.
variety is "Redland" from toptropicals.
You say they graft easily which is good.
i am hoping to just have 1 tree, picking the one which is growing fastest,
and graft 3-4 varieties to it (eventually)
what do you think of redlands ?
and what do you think are the best varieties ?
i like this guys videos
and he seems to like the white sapote fruit.

i have a 3-plex with a huge backyard no one uses, i will probably start planting the extra guava,
pecan, and things i dont have room for at my home.
I differ in opinion....I have around 23 varieties of white sapote to taste test yearly. For me, the fruit does taste like its namesake (custard apple). White smooth flesh that looks and tastes like custard. That is especially true if the fruit has warmed in the sun. It is very sweet, sometimes too much so. One variety has been described as "like caramel". Each has their own characteristics and, of course, everyone has a different sense of taste. I have never found a visitor who dislikes the fruit, unlike even cherimoyas. The tree takes grafting well, is more hardy to freezes than many varieties of avocado. The tree can become a giant and produce great quantities of fruit. As mentioned, the fruit's skin is delicate and one would probably never find a properly ripened white sapote being shipped. Hard green ones can be shipped, but will not ripen well.
