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

Stephen9 says... [139 days 15hrs 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... [14 days 14hrs ago]

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

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... [1242 days 1hrs 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... [1242 days 1hrs ago]

Been in full sun now for a year.

Prab410 says... [1209 days 17hrs ago]

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

Chad1 says... [1178 days 3hrs ago]

Sorry about the slow update.

Chad1 says... [1178 days 3hrs ago]

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

Chad1 says... [1178 days 3hrs ago]

Probably should have shaded it in Summer

Chad1 says... [14 days 14hrs ago]

About 130cm tall now

Have three at this size and a larger one (60cm-70cm)

Aus1788 says... [284 days 21hrs ago]

Any updates on this plant?

Chad1 says... [223 days 3hrs ago]

Sorry for the late response, it's 90cm tall now, I just grafted a smaller one I had onto an imbe, hopefully that takes.
