White Sapote - Lemon Gold (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: - Scary tree because it wants to grow into a giant here. That's interesting because it behaved totally differently 700km north of here. Doesn't have any leaf drop here either. Wishing I had planted it somewhere else now, and had to cut down the second tree next to it because they were taking over. The roots are invasive so don't plant near pipes, walls etc...
Apart from that - it's dead easy to grow in our climate, is not at all fussy about the soil, the water, the winter - or bothered by pests/diseases. The fruit needs to bagged against Mediterranean fruit fly and the parrots and possums...
The fruit is beautiful - texture a bit like avocado and the flavour of lemon meringue pie, to me. Skin can be eaten also. 
Self fertile and a good cross pollinator. If only the fruit were bigger and more numerous.
I have to hack this tree back by 50% every 2-3years.

White Sapote - Lemon Gold (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

Both of my Casimiroas are lemon golds.

I am thrilled with them - they are tough and cope with everything Geraldton throws at them.

Only problem so far has been trying to prune them...they are very 'whippy'.

Flowering and fruiting madly (Winter 2010) Easy tree to grow.

Nov 2010: took the wind protection away from it - it's getting bashed around a bit now. There is about a doz fruit hanging in there though.

Feb 2011: fruit still growing - tree drops most of it leaves after it sets fruit - don't panic - they grow back.
