ID this fruit sample in this picture?
« on: March 28, 2013, 11:23:36 PM »
my sister recently traveled to Thailand and brought back some zip lock bags of seeds for me from the fruits she liked. I was able to identify the Annona seeds. There were also some seeds from a few Green- Chrysophyllum cainito. But this one bag of seeds is a mystery. Their guide supposedly called this fruit a Sabo Chose or Sabo Chore?? Someone else called it  'pale orange'. She didn't have a picture of the fruit before they chopped it up but here is the inside flesh showing the seeds. The fruit is on the far left of the picture. Any Ideas??


she also brought the seeds from one of these Sugar Apples

In all honesty, I really do think the mystery fruit looks a whole lot like a peeled and sliced sapodilla. I have eaten light, pale-fleshed fruits in Thailand of that color. Usually, they're a whole lot darker than those in your pic.

Other than that, I have no idea what they could be.

This is funny, Mike, it's the first time I see somebody refers to Sapodilla as lamut. This is how Cambodians call Sapodilla.

Here is a picture of the seeds. I figured this would be another clue to help ID this fruit.

Thanks Oscar! That pale cantaloupe orange color threw me off. Their guide called it something that didn't sound anything like terms for a sapodilla. In your expert opinion would it even be worth the trouble to propagate a tree from these seeds? The Sugar apples I will definitely do but unsure about these. What do you think?

Sapodilla is the spanish name. I'm sure the Thais have their own very different name for it...forget now what the Thai name is? The main problem with growing sapodilla from seed is that they are very slow growing. If it had really great taste and you have lots of room in your yard, then why not? There is some info, i think in Morton, that says that seedlings may not bear fruit, but i haven't found this, in my own limited experience, to be the case.
