White Sapote for South Florida?

[johnb51]

Ok, now that I had more than a few ripe fruits on my Supersweet and Younghan's Gold grafts, I can give you some feedback on taste.  Younghan's Gold is the one you want, it tastes good, fruit is medium size, much better than Supersweet. So far, this year is the first time I had fruits from Supersweet and there were many on my grafts but I did not like the taste of this fruit.

Thank you.  I still haven't gotten around to planting any white sapote, but I keep thinking about it.  Does anyone know if a single tree planted in isolation, meaning no other WS trees around, would produce adequately, or would it be best to plant two trees of two different varieties?

One is fine. If you end up getting a variety that needs pollination, just graft the Supersweet on the other branch. Supersweet and Bonita Springs has many flowers/fruits and I read they are good for crosspollination.

I picked up a Denzler this weekend on Avocado Road West Palm Beach
 Plan on grafting Younghan on to it. Will probably order that from Lara Farms

I have “Denzler” growing and fruiting well. I wonder which one of us has the typo. I haven’t seen anyone else growing it yet.

Planted a Denzel white sapote a few months which seems to be growing quickly.  It was the only variety of white sapote I could find in stock in Palm Beach County.  Picked it up from Jack and the Beanstalk Nursery in West Palm.

How do you like the fruit? Have you tried any other varieties? Looking to get a tree from Jack and Beanstock too.
When is is fruiting? Now? Or did it finish fruiting?
