Pringle's Sapote (Casimiroa Pringlei) seedlings for sale
« on: October 22, 2019, 08:59:56 PM »
I have 2 small Pringle's Sapote (Casimiroa Pringlei) seedlings for sale, they’re still small but apparently a pretty rare native fruit, someone described them to me as “pretty much white sapote but way more cold hardy”
Would prefer for now to do local pick up only if anyone’s interested message me
Since they’re pretty rare i’d like to ask $15 a piece or best offer

A local grower in central Texas shared some fresh fruit with me a couple months ago and can confirm that the Pringle's Sapote tree withstood at least Zone 8b cold temperatures whereas the white sapote died back to the ground. Other than the familiar seed, the fruits tasted nothing at all like the white sapote I've had. The closest fruit that they remind me of are kumquats; citrusy, bitter, and pungent. Here's a blog post from the Texas nursery Peckerwood Garden on the fruit..

Will you be keeping any seedlings for yourself? I'm planning on testing out white sapote grafts to see if they can be knocked down a zone for cold tolerance. The web is sparse on info on whether it's possible aside from this post from eight years ago with no updates.

Here's some photos of my largest two-month old seedlings and the fruit for reference:
