Vernon white sapote, northern hemisphere zone 9A/B, flowering in September

[FigoVelo]

My WS is flowering now. I’m in zone 9, high likelihood of temps as low as 29 or 28 this winter. Anyone have experience to suggest what will happen to these flowers?

The tree is young. It flowered in March 2021 and made a first crop of 8 fruits, ripe 10 months later. No flowers in 2022. In March of this year it flowered again, but dropped them all. Now this. Trying to understand this creature.

Thanks for reflections.

My Vernon  WS tends to flower year round, but they don't fruit well when temperatures are low.

Just let it do it's thing as it becomes more mature it will flower and when it want to according to climate. Young fruits formed now will be fine as long as you don't get hard prolong freeze.
