Seeds..... I am interested. I noticed these beauties in pix of your recent fruit haul
I will take some, thanks.By the way, from the pics those seeds look different than most canistel seds I have seen however it may just be the pictures.
Oscar or you have a very small hand or these fruits are huge !!!That reminds me , I have a bunch of local canistels seedlings mixed with Ross and have a hard time figuring out which is which , what should I look for ...
Oscar, if you have any seeds left I would like some?
Looks like a winner Oscar. Maybe next year I can get some seeds.

These fruits are 5-6 inches long and weigh just under a pound each.The ross sapote has longitudinal striping, very visible when the fruts are still green.
Hey Oscar, so are there any seeds available?

Oscar,How does it compare with the Saludo canistel of Frankies nursery? which by the way came from Dr. coronel.

I can't compare them side by side as i don't have Saludo. But i also ate Saludo at Frankies (many years ago) and it's also an excellent one. So i'd say they are both winners.Didn't know Saludo comes from Phillippines. Not surprising though because they seem to appreciate this fruit there, where they call it Tiesa.

All of the native canistels here have dry flesh. I think canistel do better in Hawaii because of the great weather and fertile soil. You have a winner there.
