Thanks Mark. just got the Mary Ln White Sapote scions in the mail. Really healthy wood, and thanks for wrapping it with parafilm which made my life easy.
I left the parafilm on when I grafted them all today.

Mark, how many varieties of White Sapote have you tried, and how do you think Mary Ln compares to some of them?

I really like my Vernon, which came from Laverne's Nursery.

Glad you got the scions in good shape. This is a seedling I found in an empty field here in San Diego. I have tried at least 20 varieties. A lot from the late Bob Chambers grove in the County. Also I have tried all the regular named varieties. Mary lane is by far my favorite. It doesn't have any bitterness and is like eating a sweet caramel, banana like pudding. The fruit doesn't get real big, but is productive.

Just resent request. Thanks Mark.

Got it, also if anyone needs tracking #'s let me know.

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark, I sent a request for the Mary Lane. Could you send me paypal payment info if any are still available. Thanks.

Is cherilata different than Painter and Fernandez?

Hi Pau,

Mine is a darker red almost deep purple. It doesn't look like "Painters" but I don't remember where mine came from. This is the first year it fruited and the fruit aren't ripe yet, so we'll see what the flesh looks like.

Oolie,

It came from me, the scion I received from John Painter.

Oolie, I have the Painter that I recevied and grafted in the Spring of 2022.

The other Cherilata I received and grafted the Spring of 2020. That is the one fruiting that I have photos of.

When did I get the "Painter" from you? Thanks, Mark

I need some of those Red Fernandez also Mark!!!!!!

Got you Stela,

Thanks

Hi Mark,

I sent you an PM yesterday and didn't received any response from you.  Just want to confirm you received the PM or not.

Thanks,
Al

Thanks Al, check your messages.

Hi Mark,

Is 5 minimum each variety or can it mixed?

Thanks,
Al

Hi, yes they can be mixed, just 5 total minimum.

Thanks,

Mark

Some new varieties HoneyHart, Dr.White and an early bearing Lucida.

I've got a lot of different scions available.  All scions will have at least 2 buds.

Scions are $5 each plus $5 shipping, minimum of 5 scions each. I prefer Zelle as payment, but I do have PayPal.



Mary Ln. White Sapote Scions. The fruit is a smaller yellow skin, light yellow flesh that has a nice butterscotch, caramel flavor.

Cherimoya All of these except Fortuna and Santa Rosa are scion grown trees from the UC ANR Cherimoya Research Station, so they are true varieties. The Fortuna was obtained from the original person that developed it, and the Santa Rosa is from a grafted true tree.

Glad to hear that Mark, is it a yellow sapote (C.T.) or a white sapote? I just grafted some more on my tree so I hope I can taste the Mary Ln fruit in a year or so.

Yeah, it is a yellow one with yellow flesh. I've got a one gallon small grafted one that put on flowers this year, they fruit real quick.

I've tried at least 20 varieties mostly from the late Bob Chambers grove in San Diego County, and all the popular varieties. His orchard is quite large. The best one I have eaten is one called "Mary Ln." from a tree in Escondido. The fruit is smaller than others but it is like rich caramel and banana when the fruit turns yellow.

Looking for Reed avocado scion wood...

How many are you looking for?
