Fruit Holding White Sapote from the Nursery Today

[elouicious]

Today I went to one of the local Nurseries in town and after climbing into the deepest reaches of their pots I found a real treat-

A white sapote that was absolutely loaded with little fruitlets- I wasn't planning on getting it but it was too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially for the price-

A pic to show my lack of preparedness



With that said I managed to get the beauty home and while some of the flowers were definitely lost, I figure I probably would have to reduce the amount of fruit on the tree anyway in order to get some of them to fully ripen and develop properly-

It is in a 15g pot but I will move it up to fabric as soon as the weather allows-

Can anyone give advice as to how many fruit I should leave on? The guy thought it was a redlands variety but couldn't be sure

What's the name of the nursery?

I would wait a little longer and let some fruits fall off naturally, then thin out to 1-2 fruits per branch. Your tree is not that large yet so to much fruits may delay the growth this year. That's a nice looking tree you got.

Thanks so much! I will do just that-

I couldnt believe it was there to be honest, a nice little new years present

Looks like JRN Nursery 2

Them and Fairbanks are about the only places I can find mango trees around here. Great bonsai trees as well!
