Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Sapodilla that tastes like mamey

So how would you rate gigantia? If I remember correctly, you like Silas Woods a lot.
My mom gave me a sapodilla seedling that was given to her by a friend. The friend called it sapodilla de mamey, claiming it was different than sapodilla. Could just be a crazy old cuban woman or maybe she has what you are looking for. The seedling looks like a sapodilla to me. I will push my mom to try to get a fruit to see if there is any truth to it.

Tasted the gigantica recently...and it's nothing like the sapodilla I tasted before, that reminded me of mamey....it had a much lighter colored flesh...reminded me of silas woods but much larger.
I will have to investigate this further...I'm almost sure it's a variety that Zill's is growing, but not propagating.
