amanda starts with ... Hi All, Is this a sapodilla do u think? when I bought it down in Perth it just said "sap" on the bag - now I realise that could mean other things? I planted it in Aug 09 and it flowered a few months back - so it's quite precocious I thought (no fruit tho) it's quite whippy and tough (altho' got burnt in heatwave) Thanks!

HappyEarth says... Sure looks like one to me - it should exude white sap if you break off a leave. Rich www.happyearth.com.au | About the Author HappyEarth Wollongong 15th March 2010 4:42pm #UserID: 2553 Posts: 181 View All HappyEarth's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... I have a sapodilla in a container outside about 70cms tall. I put a plastic hood over it for the winter, then a freak hot day burnt the tips through the plastic.I cut a hole so any hot air can escape and thence no further incidents. There is a NZ tree related to sapodilla and I will try grafting sapodilla onto it. It is called tawapou and grows on the coast. The small fruits taste similar to olives and a bit astringent so not worth dreaming about. I wonder if the aborigines have tropical fruit dreaming. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 5th August 2015 7:12am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

MIke T1 says... Ponderosa and brown sugar are not bad but too shy at producing and fell out if favour when tested here.Prolific is a fraction better but I chopped down my 10 tear old tree a couple of weeks ago as it didn't cut it with the other varieties.Just Krausey and Sawo manila are left and the Sawo is on borrowed time as 2 Krauseys have vastly more fruit and of higher quality. | About the Author MIke T1 cairns 6th August 2015 5:40pm #UserID: 10744 Posts: 250 View All MIke T1's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... Hey Nick, There is a good chance they are compatible, but it can be hard finding wood that is of a healthy diameter. Perhaps an approach graft is the way to go. You could also try black apple ( Pouteria australis )seedlings as rootstocks as they are more vigorous than tawapou ( Pouteria costata ) | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 20th August 2019 1:09pm #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Amanda says... What is the NZ relative? Crikey - this is my old thread. I dug that Chiku up and dragged it down here, 7yrs ago. It's going great...sets crazy amounts of fruit. Shame the fruit fly love it as much as I do though. Such tough plants. People probably looked at my original pics here, and laughed. Little did they know how hard it was to grow anything at all in that location, though. Down here and now: I have more than I can possibly bag against the dreaded fruit fly! Careful what you wish for :)

Marvellous Fruits NZ says... Hey Denise, Pouteria australis isn't on the NZ biosecurity index so it's not allowed into the country. Do you already have it here? If it was brought here already it could be used. I have a growing Sapodilla and a source of budwood too, and I just bought three Pouteria costata plants as rootstock to trial. Will report on my findings. If you're in NZ and have Facebook I have started a page called "NZ Rare Fruit Growers" where you can find updates. Join up!

denise1 says... The NZ relative is Pouteria costata aka Planchonella costata. It grows in coastal areas usually quite close to the beach etc. It is quite rare because most coastal areas have been cleared. and restricted to mostly north of Auckland. The fruit are similar to a small black apple and also olives. The twigs are quite thin so hard to graft sapodilla onto them.. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 21st August 2019 10:21am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |
