White sapote with citrus/lemon taste
« on: February 22, 2023, 12:55:34 AM »
Hi

Can anyone recommend me a white sapote variety with citrus/lemon taste that will grow well in FL ?

Thanks

I tasted a hint of lemon when my Youghan's Gold fruited two years ago.
Last year it was damaged from the wind and I cut it way back and didn't fruit.
This year it has some small fruit already and I am hoping to try it again.
So far I have had supersweet and YG and it was better in my opinion

I have only tasted 2 types, both at the Fruit & Spice Park, and I personally could not tell them apart:
Redlands
Bonita Springs

Both had a slight lemony flavor to me.

I have a Redlands tree. I am glad it has a lemony taste.

I heard YG was a good one but didn't know it had a lemon taste. I am looking for a grafted tree actually.
