White Sapote or June Plum?

[bryan]

Looking for info from those who are familiar with White Sapote. I bought this as a Redlands White Sapote, leaves and tree look correct to me, but based on the first harvest of fruit some people are telling me these are June Plums. I know the fruit are small, but is this because it is the first time it fruited, and they all fell off premature? I have included picks of tree, leaves, seeds, and fruit.
Thank you.

Not June Plum.
It's white sapote.
June Plum leaves are way different than the white sapote leaves.

Your white sapote seems to have very small fruits, also the seeds are really thin. I have some Redlands grafted on my tree this year but no fruit yet.

Yes, hope this is only because it is the first year fruiting.

Brian, I am familiar with both trees and you have a Redlands White Sapote. Although the exterior of a June plum is similar to your fruit, june plums have a large spiny seed that reminds me of the seed pods produced by a sweetgum tree. The Redlands at my Dad's produces fruits exactly like what you have. The seeds are always abortive and fruits are small. I finally realized that it needs a pollenator and grafted some other varieties to the tree about a year ago. I think that will solve the issue. I got most if them from Kaz and they grafted easily.

I have a few Redlands grafted from different people but have not gotten any fruits yet. I hope to get first fruits next year. I hope it tastes good.

In here is your key, if the seed is spiny it is a June plum.  If not it is something else.

Base on the pictures of the fruits and leaves.  It is 100% white sapote.  The fruits is soft, creamy, and sweet.


June plum is a sour fruit.
