I bought one from a local grower who has a bunch. I just assumed it would until I came across some random posts indicating it might not. Is red custard Apple as finicky? Because that fruits well here and almost looks identical

Anybody have experience with this??

I'm looking for a nicely established, even in ground oro negro avocado tree. I can pay for a reasonable deal or trade a nice Calloway XHOT 10.5 degree driver for it. Let me know what you have, any size 15 gallon or larger. Thanks. -Jon

Fruitscapes, in Bokeelia, should have some really nice ones (doubt they would have any interest in trading for a golf club, though lol)

Haha I know I just threw it out there. There's gotta be a place in the Redlands where I love that has them. That's where the cultivar originated

That's awesome man, thanks! PM me your number. I just extracted a bunch of honey from one of my hives so I'll bring you some as a peace offering. Least I can do as a thank you.

Next time, lead with the honey trade and I'm sure you'll get more responses.

Haha. I'm actually gonna use that piece of advice shortly. Looking for a 15 gal or larger oro negro avocado tree.

Btw, just wanted to say thanks to Andrew. Good guy. We met up this morning and all went well. Off to graft my new sweettart budwood now.

It’s no problem. I should warn you that it’s not the best time to graft right now because most mango trees have flowered and are setting fruit now but I think my Sweet Tart may have a few branches that are pushing buds if you want to try. Don’t worry about price, if you just want a couple of branches you can have them for free. Actually, I also have a newly grafted Kathy mango tree that’s a new release and close relative of the Sweet tart that you can also have.

If nobody else has offered and you are willing to travel to Davie, I can give you some Sweet Tart budwood.

I don't mind taking the drive at all. How much and how many buds? I appreciate you reaching out. I thought there would be a bigger response for such a popular cultivar.  I could come up early Saturday morning if that would work. Let me know. PM me your number

Thank You,

-Jon

Are most of the fruit that "tomato" shaped Johnny? I like the shape of that sappo.

Yes, the young fruit are round like Chico varieties and then kinda get tomatoe shaped as they get larger.  I'm just surprised at the size. I've never seen them get this large in the rounder varieties.  I'm gonna fertilize and water heavily now that its starting to flower and see if that changes the game as far as yield and fruit quality.

Any reason why the tree might be fruiting so lightly and irregularly? It looks healthy and has a ton of flowers everywhere. It's a 40ft+ mature tree in direct sun. Thanks!

It is Manilkara sapote or commonly called sapodilla. I have tree which produces fruits like the one in the photo.


These fruits are the size of a softball and the flesh is orange. I have several different types of sapodillia on my property, none of which look anything like this one. Can you post a pic of one that looks similar?

So my aunt has a tree in her backyard planted around 30 years back by the former owners (a Jamaican couple).  After all these years, I noticed it looked awfully like my sapote trees, especially by the new flush and flowers.  On the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a fruit.  The fruit looks like a type of Mammea  Americana (Mamey Apple) but the seeds look like Sapote Seeds and I cannot find any photos anywhere for a Mamey Apple that has anything other than the large brown woody pit looking seeds.  I cut the fruit open (pre-ripe fruit) and the orange tinge also makes me think its a mamey apple.  Too bitter to determine via taste at this point.   Its a massive tree that only produces a handful of fruit every year.  My guess is that if its a mamey apple tree, it must be a female and somehow a male in the area is scarcely helping to pollinate it.  But the leaves also look more like a sapote than a mamey apple. I'm confused.  Any thoughts?

Isn't this it?

Please let me know if you have scions for sale or a mature budding tree that I may remove some for myself and pay accordingly. Thanks! -Jon

165
I understand. I'd like to locate a source for the time being.  Any direction on that would be appreciated? :)

Will pay for mango scions from Sweet Tart & E-4 Mango cultivars.  If you have a producing tree, I will come cut a few new growths off, pay you and leave.  You won't even know I was there.  Want to graft onto some of my current mango trees. Please let me know. Preferably Broward County or South. Thank You!!!
