Tried it for the first time about a month ago and sprouted every seed in them and immediately bought a tree. It’s one of the best tasting fruits I’ve had
I found some for sale at a local market located inside Rockledge Gardens on the Space coast so yeah, seems like some locals are growing it. It’s quite tasty and has a “brightness” to it but also pretty sweet. Which makes sense with the citrus relation.
I got a youngans from Shamus a couple months ago. Just waiting for our AZ weather to cool off a bit to put it in the ground. 110 degrees 30 days so far this summer.
I have the white sapote variety called Suebelle. It’s very good! Also have lots of seedlings for root stock. Grafts seem to take easily. Hope no hurricane issues... be safe.
I love learning about new fruit varieties from your videos. 👍 I had a question, what machine do you use to make your plant labels? It can be difficult to remember the names as I grow my fruit forest. I usually just use sharpie on white labels but they always fade out in the sun, so wanted to be able to print something like the labels you use, THANKS
One option is to use soda can and cut it up and use as tag. Be careful it can be sharp,so sand the edges down. It will be a permanent indentation as you write.
I like Embossotag. Can write on two sides.They are two pieces of aluminum with cardboard in the center. Comes with metal ties. Great for me. I put a lot of info on my tags. Permanent.
Well Pete.....one of two things you can do with Mr. Squirrel.... (1) you and your son do some pellet shooting and have some delicious squirrel stew.....or.......(2) bait a "Have A Heart" trap and carry the squirrels about 10 miles away from the house and release them...... and save Mr. Sapote ! LOL
Ha ha, "tree rats". And to think that squirrels were one of the few things I missed while living in Hawaii. Would love to know things they like the most for a giveaway. Probably whatever the owner likes the most yeah?
I laughed a little at “our 9b cold winters.” I’m in 8a NC coast and I consider our winters “mild.” When I heard “cold hardy” I got excited. I’m always looking for some interesting, tropical-like trees that can survive here. Ah, well.
you could try out cherimoya. its cold hardy to 8 and i bet it could be pushed down to 7 even. they naturally like to grow in colder areas in the tropics in mountains where it freezes in winter. they don't do as well in the tropical lowlands.
Hi Pete, I live in Spring Hill...how do I get one of those white sapote trees? And looking for and easy peel sweet citrus variety orange tree. Any suggestions?
Hello! We sell plants by appointment from our farm. Unfortunately with the citrus greening there isn’t any that’s easy to grow. They all pretty much require nasty chemicals to survive here. I always tell people to buy from Home Depot or Lowe’s if they want citrus, save your receipt because it is returnable within two years.
Hello Pete, hope all is well in the North Region, super hot here in Lee county. Just watched the Norman ‘Toppy’ Feil video. Wondering if he is or has written a book with all of his knowledge in it? I was thinking if he could not write it, he certainly could dictate his knowledge to someone else and get a book published. He is old enough to be FlyingfoxFruits owner’s GreatGranddad! that’s a lot of knowledge.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL there's a guy that has 7 varieties and he eats them like an apple and raves about the fruits. I don't think he has the Redlands
No sane person in the Southern USA should intentionally plant kudzu, but foraging it or feeding it to goats (& eating the goats) should help with control. Green Deane's "Eat the Weeds" channel is good, though he is longer on identification than recipes. Check it out. (Or learn Japanese, and see how it is eaten where native?)
I actually saw a display of these, called Mamey, at Walmart a couple of days ago, in South Pasadena, Fl. I was going to try one, but it was brown and really unappealing. Probably my loss.
OMG, the tree rats are loving my banana and papaya, is there a solution you can use that won't harm the squirrels...I love my pothos ground cover, the huge leaves just blow my mind in the trees, but don't seem to be out of control yet anyway...but this northern gardener is in awe...
I have two squirrels 🐿 that do come around every now and then, they do eat the bird seeds so we don’t mind that as long as they leave our fruit trees alone. Having 4 lil doggies help too, cause they be trying to chase them.. I want the chocolate pudding sapote, sounds delc🦋
Different plant families. It seems that the Mexica (Aztec/Nahuatl) called just about every large, sweet fruit other than cacti by some variation of "zapotl." Similarly, the Romans named virtually every large fruit after apples (pomegranates were "apples of Carthage," peaches "apples of Persia," and apricots "Armenian apples.". (They were wrong on some of that geography, naming things after where they first found them, not where the plants were originally native).

I hope one day i get to tour this amazing farm
Could you do a video of your must have plants for a FL garden?
Yes that would be awesome
I’ve done a few on my top 3 etc. it might be Time for an updated version 😊
Oh man! I tried white sapote once - it was wonderful!
I like your channel very very much, keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
It's nice to see someone else who feels about squirrels as I do :)
Enjoyed watching. Thanks
Tried it for the first time about a month ago and sprouted every seed in them and immediately bought a tree. It’s one of the best tasting fruits I’ve had
Nice!!
Lived in Florida for 31 years never heard of this one. Going to look into growing some now..
I found some for sale at a local market located inside Rockledge Gardens on the Space coast so yeah, seems like some locals are growing it. It’s quite tasty and has a “brightness” to it but also pretty sweet. Which makes sense with the citrus relation.
@@evelyn.8967 thanks I'm actually over on golf side just over a 100 miles north of Tampa.
We have a few trees in stock.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I'll have to get back on your website and give you a call I'm only a 45min drive from Spring Hill.
Love your videos Pete!
Pounding dirt up here in N. Ontario!
Thanks 🙏
I got a youngans from Shamus a couple months ago. Just waiting for our AZ weather to cool off a bit to put it in the ground. 110 degrees 30 days so far this summer.
Man y’all have brutal weather! Sending rain your way 🌧
Love it!
Awesome video Pete 👍🌱
Thanks 😊

Awesome John! I’d love to get that variety
John, where did you buy that variety? I've only seen it sold in California.
I am feel for you. Living in Minnesota I have no idea of what a hard winter is.
Hey Pete What's Growing On
My dude! 👊
I have four in my yard. Unfortunately in central, North Central Florida they can be hard to find in a Nursery. I had to mail order mine.
I love learning about new fruit varieties from your videos. 👍

I personally like the aluminum tags that you engrave into and hang from the tree.
Bought them in South Portugal, delicious!
My dad has a 25 ft mamey tree in Broward FL. Produces hundreds of pounds but they are hard to pick
If they start turning a grayish color then it's most likely ready to pick.
I haven't had grapefruit in a while
Well Pete.....one of two things you can do with Mr. Squirrel.... (1) you and your son do some pellet shooting and have some delicious squirrel stew.....or.......(2) bait a "Have A Heart" trap and carry the squirrels about 10 miles away from the house and release them...... and save Mr. Sapote ! LOL
When Redlands fruits in our zone (9a/10b)? I'm in Clearwater
Ha ha, "tree rats". And to think that squirrels were one of the few things I missed while living in Hawaii. Would love to know things they like the most for a giveaway. Probably whatever the owner likes the most yeah?
I laughed a little at “our 9b cold winters.” I’m in 8a NC coast and I consider our winters “mild.” When I heard “cold hardy” I got excited. I’m always looking for some interesting, tropical-like trees that can survive here. Ah, well.
Haha yeah man! My location compared to homestead is like NC 🤣

Lol, north of Tampa, cold winter - I wish I had a Tampa cold winter
😬
Just got a free I think mamey sapote tree from seed down in California they grow well here
Hello Pete, hope all is well in the North Region, super hot here in Lee county. Just watched the Norman ‘Toppy’ Feil video. Wondering if he is or has written a book with all of his knowledge in it? I was thinking if he could not write it, he certainly could dictate his knowledge to someone else and get a book published. He is old enough to be FlyingfoxFruits owner’s GreatGranddad! that’s a lot of knowledge.
Hello Elizabeth! I wish Toppy wrote a book. He needs to consider that one...
I planted 2 white sapote trees here in Spain this spring. Will you be doing a tasting session?
I’ve never seen or tasted them and I’m really curious 🙏🏻
Where did you get them from? Algún vivero conocido?
They’re super hard to find. I get them when available from Zills nursery on the east coast.
I couldn't help but to stare at that Irish Pennant the entire video.
Can you eat those like an apple?
Not really, the interior of the fruit is like custard and you probably would not want to eat the skin
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL there's a guy that has 7 varieties and he eats them like an apple and raves about the fruits. I don't think he has the Redlands
Can you do a video of kudzu recipes?
No sane person in the Southern USA should intentionally plant kudzu, but foraging it or feeding it to goats (& eating the goats) should help with control. Green Deane's "Eat the Weeds" channel is good, though he is longer on identification than recipes. Check it out. (Or learn Japanese, and see how it is eaten where native?)
DELICIOUS video!
Shya, white sapote is totally gnarly brah. Mamey is cool but for my money white sapote gets massive in the right conditions
I actually saw a display of these, called Mamey, at Walmart a couple of days ago, in South Pasadena, Fl. I was going to try one, but it was brown and really unappealing. Probably my loss.
🐿 - I watched this video.
🤣🤣🤣
OMG, the tree rats are loving my banana and papaya, is there a solution you can use that won't harm the squirrels...I love my pothos ground cover, the huge leaves just blow my mind in the trees, but don't seem to be out of control yet anyway...but this northern gardener is in awe...
Tulle. Buy bolts for cheap on eBay. Wrap the base of the trees to keep them from climbing. Wrap the individual fruit if they're tree hopping.
I have two squirrels 🐿 that do come around every now and then, they do eat the bird seeds so we don’t mind that as long as they leave our fruit trees alone. Having 4 lil doggies help too, cause they be trying to chase them..
I want the chocolate pudding sapote, sounds delc🦋
Ever tried growing a Pawpaw tree?
Yes, they don’t do great here but we have some growing.
Do you sell white Sapote trees?
They do. Go to theur website
Yes! GreenDreamsFL.com
In Spanish it’s called matasano.

I read the seeds of the white sapote are poisonous, but the mamey are not. 🌱

@@Erewhon2024 interesting! Thx! Love learning new things. 🌱
Leaves, bark and fruit have traditional medicine uses in Mexico.
Eric Johnson! I appreciate all the input you bring to the channel. Thanks man 👊
