The Tropical Fruit Forum

There are a few big fruiting Pouteria Hypoglauca tree's at fruit and spice. I'd imagine most of the seeds and seedlings going around are most easily collected and distributed from these tree's. It's pretty good!

Partly based on this thread, I became interested in another sapote, the cinnamon apple.

It seems to be very difficult to find, but I lucked out and got one through Facebook.

I also went down to Exotica. They currently have two. The owner stated one he did not want to sell, it was about four and a half feet tall, supposedly 8 to 10 years old. Nice leaf structure.

The second would he offered to sell did not have as many leaves, was around 3 and 1/2 ft tall, and was reportedly around the same age. So if you are interested in another sapote, and don't mind going to San Diego, take a look!

I expect to pick the last of the fruits over the next week or so.
Right now , I can do a couple orders of packs of 20 seeds for $80 , with fruit included.

All Guabiju orders have shipped.
I can accommodate some more cuttings & seeds orders with fresh fruit included.

 Why would he shut down his succesfull scam?
Someone needs to shut that shit down , but it ain’t gonna be the guy stacking benny’s. Why would he now, after all this.

They should shut down their website if they are still not delivering any orders. He never did answer me when I sent him a private message/email so there must be something else going on.

I was going to mention "Gary", but y'all have way more Mango experience than me.
I tried 1 Sheehan brought to fruit and spice park and it was good , I was also on mango flavor overload at that point so it was all awe and wonder and flavor bombs.

White Sapote Scion $5 per stick , 5 stick minimum
I cut and ship same day .

I picked those 2 bowls today. 1 bowl was all drops that held up really well sitting on the ground for who knows how long!!

Holy smokes, you’re harvesting fruit!?!?

Agreed.
No one has enough fruit coming in on even a handful of tree's though to follow the way, I think it's only a matter time though . Everyone should planting lots of seeds and keep sourcing from as many different tree's as possible to find one that does great and fruits prolifically. Glad to see good moist type Lucuma scion going around the last couple of years.
Both of these fruits have to sit on the tree for a year, so they have to hold over whatever winter brings their way and ripen through it.

Green sapote and lucuma seem to be the only reasonable sapote candidates for CA, imo, unless you're down in SD.

California IS Mexico bro. Nah , people been bringing and planting them since before before so they are around. 

I didn't realise you guys have access to true/ pure mexican types.

The area's north of you in the Bay Area get 80's and 90's in summer.
If your above and beyond the norma fog line there's a chance.
Plant it surrounded by concrete, stucco , rocks , whatever thermal insulation.
Don't waste your money on a $500 25 gallon Manila Mango unless it will make your lady extremely happy, You'll likely have better luck planting your own Manila seeds or a Manila from LaVerne.
Lots of SoCal nurseries stock FL Mango tree's. Check the label to make sure .

New shadehouse and worm bins are looking great!
Just wondering about the metal lids and how hot it can get in there. It looked like all the worms were at the bottom when you poked around in there and the temp on top was 88.
And then you manually scoop it onto a little trailer to move around the farm?

So you have found the traditional method of cleaning Pataxte seeds with sand works best?
Thanks for the feedback.
