Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pouteria sapota production with chill hours?
« on: January 21, 2024, 02:33:45 PM »
i started searching about green sapote; it took little time to get confused, as here https://www.raindanceseeds.com/rare-plants/green-sapote-pouteria-viridis the fruit in the photograph are quite yellow tending to orange and not green. MAYBE, is it green when not fully RIPE? Although Roman said that the green sapote is the hardiest sapote, Wikipedia says " it does not tolerate hot or cold conditions". Excuse me saying that Wikipedia is often not reliable or at least inaccurate because it is subject to blind copying. Simply the fact that green sapote is hardier than the mamey sapote, agrees to Roman saying that green sapote grows well in zone 9b (in fact, being near the sea makes my microclimate milder than 9b). I m now looking to what size it should be pruned so as to fruit well.
