"I was wondering if your "Super sweet" is actually a Younghan's? "
No its not a Younghan's, it's a Supersweet that I purchased scions from Mike (above). But as some people say, the Supersweet and Bonita Springs do grow similar (vigorous) and the leaves/branches look almost identical. When I get fruits on these branches I should be able to compare the fruits taste to determine if its the same variety. I purchased my Bonita Springs from Oldsurfer who has a large tree.
I also have grafted Youghan's Gold (from Mike) and for me here in CA, it grows slow, skinny branches but I did get small fruits on it. The branches were still too small to get the fruits growing to full size.
I do not have a favorite yet since I have not had full size fruits on any of my grafted varieties. Right now I have fruits on Nettie and Cuccio (both from Jonah). The only white sapote fruit that I tasted fresh from the tree is the McDill (very good flavor) and the yellow (wooly leaf) sapote (also taste good). I only started growing my white sapote because the McDill tastes so good about 5 yrs ago. All my trees in ground are from the seeds of these two fruits I ate. Both the McDill and Wooly leaf sapote were correct varieties, it was at the Fullerton Arboretum and they have signs posted on each tree.
Around here in SoCal I hear from JF and others that the following are very good tasting varieties:
- Fairhaven (seedling of Suebelle, brix =30)
- Malibu
- Sunset
- Santa Cruz
- C. Tetrameria #6 & #7
-Robert's Rainbow
I have all of these grafted but no fruits yet.
