WHITE SAPOTE - REINECKE COMMERCIAL

White Sapote - Reinecke Commercial (Grafted)

Comments: -

This is a TRIPLE group planting with Vernon and Sue Belle alongside - the Reinecke looks like it may get too leggy as another growers is 15ft tall and not fruited yet

Where the heck did you find a Sue Belle? :)

Hi ish - dont know where you are as seen you on a Sapodilla post recently but a guy in melbourne was selling these grafted a couple years ago - he has just about all including Rainbow but hes moving and may not be grafting in future but Bullen Art and Garden may have some now but not cheap and they dont post

Hi Mark, thanks for that... Yes, I was trying to hunt down the fabled Krasuey Sapodilla ;) I am in Brissie. Any chance you might have details for the Melbourne guy? Love to catch him before he moves - Rainbow and Suebelle seem rare as hens teeth. Not knocking my Lemon Gold, but still.... ;) Ish

What fertiliser do you use, if any? Where at the tree do you put the fertiliser?

I use slow release suitable for citrus & eco seaweed ish - the guy who grafts & sells white sapotes in Melb doesnt post plants and is moving home & may not be doing anymore for a while - i could be when my seedlings are grown enough

Well, I would be very happy to pay for your grafting handiwork... Can honestly say I thought they were only available in the US!

mines about 6mt and still not fruited - put more potassium on it a few days ago.

21 April 2019, starting to flower now after 1-1/2 years from purchase. Not expecting the flowers to set because of its young age. Nice growth.

Notice flowers on mine a month ago and appears to have set fruit as Suebelle & Vernon nearby also flowering plus setting fruit - good crop next year maybe?
