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

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

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

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

White Sapote - Pike (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

This must be the best fruit for taste and climate range and low fruit fly problem for some unknown reason.

Good near a public area because its skin stays green when ripe, and so does not attract as much attention from people who don't know the fruit.

Fruiting Months January, February, March, December

Planted: 2003

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

Fruit Harvest: 20 kilograms per Year

First Fruited: 4 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Autumn

Pollination: No

Pest Control: Sulfur crested cockatoos are a big problem many years after planting, they just practice their bite and drop the fruit uneaten but bitten.

Bats eventually find the fruit tree years after planting.

Then they harvest every year.

Organic Status:Organic

Question:

Why a very low fruit fly problem?

How big is your tree grows?

Dec 10, 2019 - Hi AJ waiting the fruits to ripen together with my Blumenthal, I'll report the taste once they ripen to perfection 😎😋

White Sapote - Seedling (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: -

Just arrived last 08/02/18. I will let it grow for a while and use it to graft other desirable CV's next spring. I tip pruned it upon arrival to encourage multiple lateral growths to be used as a springboard for other Casimiroa E. varieties.

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?

White Sapote Vista

Comments: -

A small grafted tree originally from the famous specimen in Louis Glowinski's Melbourne garden. Struggled in the dry conditions for a few years in Victoria, now growing in a more suitable climate.

Update March 2010

Disaster - this tree was run over by the ride-on mower. No hope of salvaging it as it was chopped below the graft. Have managed to source another from Perry's in SA. Lucky for me, a difficult plant to find.

July 2010

The long awaited replacement tree has finally arrived from Perry's, and has taken prime position in full sun, just outside the gates of the swimming pool. Have married it off to a 'Lemon Gold" so here's hoping for a fruitful union.

Planted: 2009

Comments

Too much sappy top growth, pruned to allow better framework of branches

This tree is now large and shades part of the front area of the pool. Fruits in early summer however it is very attractive to flying foxes and I need some strategies to stem the losses. I hear laser lights sold at Christmas are an effective repellant. The fruit are as large as a navel orange with a rich complex flavour

White Sapote - Dade

Comments: - Discovered by chance at a run-down nursery at Surfers' Paradise, an established tree which looked like it had been there for some time and overlooked. Already in flower, have started hand pollinating with pollen from the Ortego planted nearby. Having only just gone into the ground, flowers may abort before the fruit develops.

White Sapote - Lemon Gold

Comments: - Another find at a local fruit stall, this plant was so pot bound it was growing through the plastic into the ground below. Seemed to have transplanted ok, have bought it as a pollinator for "Vista".

Comments

Is it iron deficient? Phil - your plants are beautiful! The colour of them says it all..

Grew so fast the wind snapped off the sappy new growth - it was a little top heavy anyway

Now a sturdy productive tree, the skin thicker and less likely to split than other cultivars, more shell-like. I find the flavour exceptional, very rich although the fruit are never quite large enough!

White sapote - Pike

Comments: - Planted in dappled shade, the tree appears healthy so far and flowering, especially on older wood. Sourced from at nursery at Tweed Heads, have planted it in close proximity to "Ortego" which is in full bloom. Ants seem to like the flowers, maybe they will be useful pollinators.

Steady growth once established, still a small tree at this stage and yet to flower but looks very healthy and happy. I may need to graft a second variety onto it for pollination later on, lets wait and see.

White Sapote - Chris (Grafted) ^6/10

Still the same size as it was three years ago... growth always yellows off midway through the season

White Sapote - Pike (Grafted)

Comments: - Fruit sounds nice but did not realise this needs a x pollinator. Will keep my eye out for a self pollinating I think. We don't really have space for two. Lesson:do your homework (also buy from daleys as they always give you this type of info before you purchase) you live and you learn hey?

White Sapote - Seedling (Seedling) ^6/10

Comments: -

I don't know what variety this is as I bought it from Diggers and they didn't say. I've read that it will survive down to -5 when mature, and the fruit sounds amazing, so I thought I'd give it a go. Doing well in the ground so far, planted in early spring and protected with an empty water tube, so we'll see how it copes with winter.

I have White Sapote variety Chris, so is it possible to exchange 2 scion wood with your Lemon Gold? Cheers

White Sapote - Kampong (Grafted)

Comments: -

Planted at the very top of my orchard, a hard spot as it will never benefit from any good things like mulch, water or fertilizer which I will not be dragging up the hill.  Hopefully it will be tough enough to thrive up there.
