Comparison of Pouterias - which to choose....
« on: April 27, 2021, 08:50:55 PM »
As Pouterias go how do these stack up for ease of culture in 9b and
for quality/flavor of fruit?:

Ross  /  Butterscotch  /   Alano  /  etc.

VS

Pouteria viridis

Just curious.

Saps and green sapote are the elite.  Green sapote don't produce well in all areas.  I would choose a sap.  More durable fruit.   Can eat fresh, dehydrate and make a great ice cream.

So then, Rob, where do green sapotes best thrive?  Is 9b not one of those places?

Are there any selected varieties of P. viridis that do thrive in 9b?

Enquiring minds and all that rot . . . .

Saludos . . . !
