Butterscotch sapodilla

[Coconut Cream]

The fruit was sweet but to be honest I did not like it.

So that's another grower saying no thanks after fruiting the tree?

I just ate the one fruit that I had on my butterscotch. I bought it from Mike at Treesnmore. Very healthy plant. No bugs no wilt no sickeness. The fruit was sweet but to be honest I did not like it. Not much grit but to be honest it tasted of mamey. It had a definite pumpkin/sweet potatoe flavor that I have never had in any other sapodilla. I bout two and they both have plenty of flowers. I will post up a picture later.

Would love a Sapodilla with a bit of Mamey taste...I'm not a big fan of really sweet sapodillas like Alano...do have a Buttterscotch in year two with a bunch of flowers

No I wouldn't say, "No thanks", more like, "It's for the collection" I will graft it on to some other varieties. It may improve in time. I was hoping for "pears in brown sugar with a little butterscotch". I'm trying to think of a fruit that I have had that has a butterscotch flavor other than an american persimmon.

Pace Mamey Sapote when fully ripe tastes like butterscotch candy to me.

I would not call it a dwarf tree. I have a medium sized tree and it’s about 9 ft tall at this point. My main issue with it is that it is not precocious. The fruit is delicious, but given the lack of production I suspect it is overall an inferior tree compared to the other outstanding varieties (alano, Silas wood, hasya etc). The fruit is only marginally better than those excellent but more productive varieties IMO.

I would call it a collectors sapodilla. It is not an “insurance” sapodilla. Definitely would not recommend if a grower only has room for one sapodilla in the yard.

My butterscotch tree is holding one fruit. Super slow grower.  I will post a review of the fruit once it's ready, I'm checking it daily now.  Butterscotch and haysa are flowering now at the same time.  Not sure why one is a winter and one is a summer sapodilla.
