Actually C. tetrameria has a different, but good flavor compared to C. edulis. The flesh is yellow in color and the fruits are rather long compared to the white sapote which is very round. I have several trees, both #6 and #7, which are grafted on C. tetrameria seedlings. #6 and 7 won out in a CRFG taste test. C. tetrameria is a much smaller tree than the huge C. edulis. C. edulis grafted on C. tetrameria results in a dwarf tree (like 4 ft tall, normal sized fruits). I have a Vernon and a Pike that are over 25 years old, both about 4 ft tall. Grafting a yellow sapote (C. tetrameria) on a C. edulis results in a tree less than 7 ft tall and about 6 ft wide. Again, fruit produced are normal sized fruit. The leaf underside of C. tetrameria is very fuzzy, whereas C. edulis is smooth (an exception is Suebelle, thought by some to be a hybrid, or could have a common ancestor). I also have two C. tetrameria trees grafted on C. edulis rootstock that are over 25 years old with no hint of incompatibility,. however there is overgrowth of C. edulis at the graft union. Both trees are healthy. C. tetrameria on its own roots produces abundant fruit, but nothing like the masses of fruit produced by C. edulis, a much larger and prolific tree. The sheer size of C. edulis limits the collected varieties from the Bob Chambers grove to just limbs and branches. Seeds of C. tetrameria resemble C. Edulis, but are smaller and more rounded. C. edulis has many seedlings spontaneously growing under the tree, that is rare under a C, tetrameria tree, but then again the volume of fruits under a C. edulis is a walking hazard.many thanks for your informations Jack!!
Currently trees are barely blossoming.

I’ve never met anyone who grew this from seed or seen a fruit.
I have it grafted on C. edulis and it is slow growing and dwarfed.
Can share a scion or 2.
I believe any C. Edulis with any amount of fuzzy leaves (like Suebelle) has some C. Tetrameria hybridized in it.
My tree flowered this year but did not hold fruit.
I remember reading the fruit is not as appreciated as C. Edulis.
I can get scions from 2 different types, but only after Covid 19 pandemia is over.
For now I have about 200 seeds, if you or someone else is interested.
