Does anyone know what type this may have been?? It was really nice.Couldn't you just ask Zill's? that's a novel idea!One of the employees was eating the fruit, and didn't know what cultivar it was (the fruit even had some red in the flesh, like mamey) Yes I suppose I could ask Zill, but was wondering if anyone else had tasted a sapodilla that was reminiscent of mamey..and if they knew the cultivar name.I suppose this fruit I tasted was much more special (rare) than I realized. but I saved the seeds!!A friend of mine here in Vallarta has some of those! Is a Sapodilla but with a kind of red flesh instead of the regular beige/ brown one, and a some mamey notes, some people believe is a hybrid between these two, hence the popular name here " mamey- sapote" as sapodilla is refer here as " Chico Sapote"

Zill said they were preparing new varieties for 2019 as mentioned here:http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=30774.msg341315#msg341315I just wrote for an updated availability list. Last year's list showed Alano, Hasya, Makok, Molix, Morena, Ox, Tikal, and Gigantia.
