Flowering again for the second time in November. I'm impatient so I might try and let one fruit. Zero problems with this tree.

Fast grower, the only problem I've had is with scale.

Stephen9 says... [1604 days 19hrs ago]

Hi mate - if you have spare scion woods, can you pls let me know so I can try grafting to my white sapote seedling tree? I am happy to pay for them and perhaps go for a drive down to the South Coast one weekend to collect

Chad1 says... [1479 days 18hrs ago]

Sorry I just saw your comment. If you still need some let me know and forget about paying

Stephen9 says... [1320 days 22hrs ago]

Hi Chad1, sorry I don't use this Daley forum website often and just came across your response. Thanks mate for the offer, but it is not urgent and I will try to source some other varieties white sapote scions to graft onto my seedling tree project sometime in the near future. Same, we are based in the same state NSW and so if you are after a particular scion(s) I may have spare, let me know and I can try to assist

Seems to be a wooly-leaf sapote. The underside of the leaves are furry, unlike my Kampong.

Growing in a small greenhouse in full shade. After applying half a handful of Scott's Pure Organic Fruit & Citrus fertiliser it's been growing great.

Hi Chad1, your tree looks fantastic. May I know where you got your tree from and how old it is?

Chad1 says... [2707 days 5hrs ago]

I ordered it form Daley's and received it in Feb 2017. I'm not sure how old it was then. Probably should update the photo

Chad1 says... [2707 days 5hrs ago]

Been in full sun now for a year.

Prab410 says... [2674 days 20hrs ago]

Hi Cad1, how big is your Luc's now after two years? Can we see an updated photo? Thanks

Chad1 says... [2643 days 7hrs ago]

Sorry about the slow update.

Chad1 says... [2643 days 7hrs ago]

About 68cm tall. I wish I'd measured it when I received it.

Chad1 says... [2643 days 7hrs ago]

Probably should have shaded it in Summer

Chad1 says... [1479 days 18hrs ago]

About 130cm tall now
