Best Pouterias

[Rob From Sydney]

I have a few Pouteria plants/seeds, and am looking to expand my little collection.
A have Abiu, Mamey Sapote, Cinnaimon Apple, and Pouteria Stylosa.
I would love some recommendations on what other pouterias I should grow.

if you arent growing lucuma, you're doing yourself a disservice

Best Pouteria I have had out of

P. viridis
P. campechiana
P. sapota
P. caimito
P. hypoglauca

Which Mamey variety are you growing? Could add another that ripening a different season, and/or Green Sapote which is similar.

Could consider Ross sapote (a close canistel relative).

P. sapota
P. caimito
P. hypoglauca

I don't remember all the botanical names offhand so for the benefit of others also:

P. viridis = green sapote
P. campechiana = canistel/eggfruit/yellow sapote
P. sapota = mamey
P. caimito = abiu
P. hypoglauca = cinnamon apple

I often forget which Sapotaceae are Pouterias and which are in other genus, but other nice Sapotaceae are sapodilla and olosapo.

I have sapota, caimito & hypogauca (or glomerata),
Viridis is on the list, I may have access to fresh fruit in January next year, and I have a campechiana tree near me that should fruit soon.

I got the seeds from an (unfortunately unripe) fruit about 20cm long. I'd guess it's Magana.
Would like to get ross sapote seeds, Anderson Tropicals has them in stock at the moment.
