That’s right Fruitgrower,
Green sapote are very nice. We have Poamoho and Makawao ( Hawaiian selections). Finer texture than mamey, easier to ascertain ripeness as their skin turns orange. For us they start in January and we still have some on our big old tree. Unfortunately at low elevation here the texture is poor when the fruit is allowed to get fully orange on the tree so these late fruits are not so good to eat. But yes, put green sapote in for Jan-Feb. add Lara and Jamaica and we’re good for year round fruits. Thanks!
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!
shoot me a list of what you have to trade! You have so much cool stuffDang wish I had the funds to snag up a pack of seeds from you Jonah.
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.
Jonah, do the moist-fleshed lucuma varieties have names? I’d like to be sure I get the best ones eventually.
What is taiwan white sapote? I cant find info for it.
So far im interested in:
Cuccio
Lemon gold
Santa cruz
Dang wish I had the funds to snag up a pack of seeds from you Jonah.
Holy smokes, you’re harvesting fruit!?!?
Green sapote and lucuma seem to be the only reasonable sapote candidates for CA, imo, unless you're down in SD.
I didn't realise you guys have access to true/ pure mexican types.
