White Sapote Taste : Younghan's Gold vs Supersweet

[ScottR]

Thanks for updates Kaz, youngans gold looks like gold flesh for sure! can't wait for mine to fruit.

Julian Lara (Lara Farms, South Miami-Dade) is propagating a white sapote that he named Campbell.  He says it's the best tasting for Florida.

I was lucky enough to snag one but there is literally no information on it. Hopefully it performs well in AZ. I also have a Younghans and Vernon.
Still debating on where to put them all sense I'm low on space. The best lighting spot would require the tree to be espaliered but not sure if white sapotes would do well on a espalier but the Campbell sure would be nice there lol

I'm glad to see that Younghan's Gold took first place.  I'm going to try to plant it and Campbell here in SoFlo.

Indeed. That YG looks amazing.

Also going to for YG and Campbell here in AZ. Hoping that Campbell lives up to the hype.

The campbell is actually available on Lara's website at the time of this post. Just ordered one.

Damn it, man. Informing everyone about the tree I want before I get one is not the done thing.😁🤣😁🤣 Next time tell old CarolinaZone first.  ;)As soon as I saw this post I tried to snag a Campbell but they were sold out. I was therefore forced  fill my cart some other way over priced stuff I might be cyber stalking that website for the rest of the year until I can get one. I have a younghans, a subelle, a Vernon, a redlands, 2 called USDA all in pots.  I'm hoping someone will graciously offer some scions for some of the other cultivars I want.

Ha!  You're right.  All the Campbells are gone for now.  And I was on my way to Homestead on Monday.  Oh well, I'll still go to the Fruit and Spice Park and Going Bananas.

I've tried at least 20 varieties mostly from the late Bob Chambers grove in San Diego County, and all the popular varieties. His orchard is quite large. The best one I have eaten is one called "Mary Ln." from a tree in Escondido. The fruit is smaller than others but it is like rich caramel and banana when the fruit turns yellow.

Glad to hear that Mark, is it a yellow sapote (C.T.) or a white sapote? I just grafted some more on my tree so I hope I can taste the Mary Ln fruit in a year or so.

Yeah, it is a yellow one with yellow flesh. I've got a one gallon small grafted one that put on flowers this year, they fruit real quick.
