Dave says... Sounds like its a White Sapote seedling and not grafted? It probably should have shown some flowers by now if it was a grafted variety. Check this info out: http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/whitesapote.html look at fruit and propogation descriptions. | About the Author Dave Dandenongs 18th August 2011 9:37am #UserID: 4019 Posts: 48 View All Dave's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Let's hope it's a good one Elke :) I must admit I get rather annoyed by plant-sellers passing off random seedlings as something desirable. Anyone can grow a seedling themselves. It can spoil the reputation of a fruit when people get the wrong impression from something hardly worth eating :( | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

amanda says... Hey Jason - what type of seedling is it? I have got a couple of my lemon golds growing - I thought it was worth a try! They formed an incredible tap root very young though and it caught me by surprise as it had curled around the inside of the pot? :( I don't know how long I will be able to keep them in the tree sack because of this..? | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Jason says... Yeah, once I grew some sapote seeds in 60cm? long pvc pipe and they reached even the bottom of that not long after they were poking above the soil surface with just a couple of leaves. After that experiment I just plant them out as soon as they have germinated. The first seedling is just some random seed, I think from a Vernon? it's actually not much different to a Vernon so that would make sense. I have some other seedlings from other sources flowering but no fruit from those yet, but should be in this next season. I just went for my first post Winter (almost) walk in the garden just now and saw that one of my apricot seedlings is flowering :P that's almost more exciting. It takes quite a while for an Apricot seedling to flower, not like a peach which is almost instant | About the Author Jason Portland 21st August 2011 12:05pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |
