Does my rootstock look like C35?
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!
I have eaten Both fresh picked NZL's and fresh picked Meyer's NZL are sweeter and much less sour than Meyer lemon. NZL lemons can be eaten out of hand. Meyer lemons are said to eat the enamel of your teeth at half the speed of of a eureka lemon. NZL lemons are not good for cooking and the peal is sweet with a mild bitter after taste. If you are looking to eat out of hand the NZL is the only choice. If you are looking for use in drinks and cooking go Meyer.
How does NZL compare to sanbokan?
