White Sapote - Pike (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

This tree fruited after having it in the ground for only a year.  The first couple of fruits it produced had quite a bitter aftertaste, and I was ready to pull it out, but the ones I have harvested this year were beautiful.  I find you have to catch them when they are just turning soft, as shortly afterwards they will ripen too quickly..........and drop from the tree, causing them to go splat!!!!!!!!

Haven't quite worked out what it tastes like yet, as there are a number of flavours combined.

This is a lovely looking tree with quite a weeping habit.
