My Edible Fruit Trees: White Sapote Trees

Rainbow White Sapote

Comments: - White Sapote - RainbowCasimiroa edulis There's not a lot of information about the Rainbow variety but the general consensus seems to be that it produces an excellent tasting fruit of good size.

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.

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.

Fast growing if given plenty of water. Fruited for first time 2009 and fruit is devine. Fruit fly can be a problem and it was trial and error to know when to pick fruit.

Lovely looking tree and has grown very rapidly. New growth has been burnt in it's first Summer, but this year with shadecloth on hottest days no problems. Flowering and tiny fruits set, so far none have matured. Fingers crossed this year.

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
