Fairchild-2 or a Ross sapote
How does trompo stack up on the list?
Quote from: skhan on December 10, 2019, 03:33:47 PMHow does trompo stack up on the list?I have two Trompo they are slow growers for me I wish I could speed them up. Even at 2 years old I let one hold a fruit and it was pretty normal, the other which hasn't flowered hasn't grown any faster. This year I let the first one hold five fruit but sortof wish I hadn't. Last year I tried Ross Sapote it was far superior, somewhat moister and had a touch of caramel flavor. I planted 3 seedlings. If you could get grafted Ross Sapote that would be my suggestion but a variety would likely give a longer season.

Oro not big enough to fruit yet. Love this fruit-the Ross is quite good when allowed to get extremely ripe.
Thanks a lot. Yes, the list is one of the reasons I'm asking: They list the Fairchild varieties as "not recommended" but I keep hearing really good things about them, so I'm curious what people here are growing and happy with. I also know absolutely nothing about canistel - other than the fact that I like it a lot :-) so recommendations are definitely welcome. Have you had Oro? What did you think of it?
