"pumpkin pie" dwarf mamey

[TheVeggieProfessor]

Anyone know anything about this new variety of mamey? From Zill. I can't find any information on it.

I planted a 15g last year and know nothing about this variety. Would love to know more. It looks like it will stay quite compact.

How did I miss this thread?  So if Zill is propagating this variety, is it another case of whatever retailer has any available they're going to charge two or three times the regular price, like what was done with the Butterscotch sapodilla?  Does Zill actually charge so much more for these new varieties they've bred?

No clue what Zill is actually charging but yeah bend over and grab your ankles.

OMG (Ouch!)

Local had a mamee with small fruit . Sadly he has sold property .. small fruits would be worthwhile trying to propagate as the fruit is usually a bit to big. Constant pruning would keep trees small.

Looking at this site and the Dwarf Parrita they have there looks exactly like my Pumpkin Pie Mamey.

The first Pumpkin Pie Mameys sold from Zill had Parrita on the tag  so I’m sure that’s the same variety

Give D’s Fruit trees a call down near homestead, saw his in ground tree in person, it is truly truly a dwarf tree, thing was maybe up to my chest growing like a bush with fruit on it, bought three scions from him and got one to take! 👍 I’ve never seen a mamey grow like that, been to lara farms before and seen all the standard ones at fruit and spice park and they are large trees, really incredible to see a mamey bush with fruit.

The cultivar Pumpkin Pie does not exist... it is (Dwarf) Parrita. Hopefully people will stop adding to this confusion and causing people duplicates. It's another dumb marketing gimmick that who knows who came up with... maybe even Zill Plantas but if it was them they have now removed it from their website. Every Pouteria sapota I have ever tasted resembles pumpkin pie...

Not going to happen at this point.

is mamey different enough from green sapote that it is worth growing both?   I have tried mamey once or twice and really liked it, but right now I have only a grafted green sapote

Does anyone have a scion they would sell or trade?
