My Edible Fruit Trees: White Sapote Trees SA

White Sapote - Vernon (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

So far this has been my most productive white sapote in terms of growing, wouldn't even stop growing throughout winter in a small planter bag outside.

Bought as a pollinator variety and recently planted into the ground, hopefully it flushes new growth and begins to fruit in a few years.
