Mammea americana, commonly known as mammee, mammee apple, mamey, mamey apple, Santo Domingo apricot, tropical apricot, or South American apricot, is an evergreen tree of the family Calophyllaceae, whose fruit is edible. It has also been classified as belonging to the family Guttiferae Juss. (1789), which would make it a relative of the mangosteen.[2]
In certain Latin American countries, Mammea americana is referred to as "yellow mamey" (Spanish: mamey amarillo) to distinguish it from the unrelated but similar-looking Pouteria sapota, whose fruit is usually called "red mamey" (mamey colorado or mamey rojo).
If you have a yard and you are growing fruit trees I'd love to come and film, especially if you are in the South Florida area. You can contact me at paul@rawlife.com please include the area you are in.

Here in Puerto Rico there are lots of those trees. The fruit is called simply MAMEY. The tree grows enormous and that fruit is very hard. When it falls down from a tall tree, it could break the glasses of your car or seriously hurt you, if it hits you in the head.
Ok, now this is the closing of the story. The thing is that in Puerto Rico, when something, anything, hits you hard, we use the word MAMEYAZO as a slang.
I love Mamey!! I planted two seeds in OREGON in my green house and was surprised when they sprouted! Obviously Oregon is way too cold in Winter so maybe when I get a place in Mexico It will be warm enough to grow these! :)
In Cuba we use the word when you get hit hard thank you i love that
This is my most favorite fruit! Mangoes have nothing on mame! The taste is heavenly! 😊 They love sandy soil, so Florida is a good place for it to thrive.
And it looks gorgeous...sort of.like magnolia
This father son duo will rack up a boat load of knowledge! Can’t wait to see more of these guys
I grew up in Trinidad eating that fruit mamy apple can grow very large like over five pounds you have to eat it when it is ripe when it is ripped it falls on the ground the fruit is very sweet I am impressed with this farm they are very knowledgeable yes we uses to give them to our pigs in Trinidad the the trees are very huge like 100 feet if not grafted and it need two trees to bear fruit if not grafted I have not eaten that fruit in over 40 years since I left Trinidad this is the first time I am seeing the fruit I will have to come there and purchase one
Ate these growing up in the Bahamas! One of my favorite fruits!
Which island..I’m in Grand Bahama
@@Dexplay Grew up in Nassau
I love how differently everyone describes the taste at the end! Thanks for letting me try it!!!
I'm from Cuba i having seen a mamey here in America is great fruit and great tree
You can tell that guy loves and support kid; I can’t keep my son out of the A/C for 5 minutes 😂
This was a really cool video with the tastings at the end
As a teenager I lived in mamee -Bay,st Ann Jamaica,i once ate this fruit there
Paul that is one of my favorite fruit growing up in PR, hard to find and can't grow here in Orlando, careful, large tree in natural habitat. So good!
Very familiar with this fruit when I was back home in india… grows very big!!
Wow, great. Hello! I'm watching your video, have a nice day.❤❤❤
Recently fell in love with these myself! Aloha!
I grow up eating these, very nice fruit.
Thanks for sharing this! Have you heard of a monkey orange? Its a "food" tree that grows in Florida too. Super unique!
In St. Croix U.S. Virgin Islands we make a filling for our tarts which is similar to pies but a denser crust I’d say. It’s so good. But Hurricane Hugo took most/almost all of our trees. As far as I know Puerto Rico has a lot of them still.
Absolutely love this fruit we had it last year at Lara Farm and had to grab a tree...
Where did you squeeze it in?
I didn't yet
Good business strategy for Xains to reach out to you
I will love to eat it man. My family love this fruit. In Cuba we have a lot of those trees
I'm a Machado to from Cuba
We have a very big variety and brightly colored.
i remember this tree from my childhood in the Dominican Republic, didn't know how and when to eat it so my family made desserts from it.
the tree is humongous so if you are going to grow it, make sure that you have the space for it
They apparently have a tap root so keeping it in a pot for long might not be a great idea. I bought one only recently. When I unpotted it, the soil all fell apart and came loose. The root system was basically just one super long tap root much longer/taller than the vegetative portion of the plant. It was very much coiled all around the inside of the pot but it was still soft and pliable thankfully. I was able to dig a deep hole and got the tap root as deep without breaking it as I could manage. It had a couple of secondary roots emerging from just below the trunk but they were fairly new and short. I made sure to keep those close to the soil surface.
Just planted a two trees in my garden, here in Grenada w.i. remember to plant it away from house foundation
Squirrels love 'em
One of my childhoods fruits. You can make ice cream with the fruit.
We here in the U.s.vi know about that fruit for years
Very tricky tree to source in Australia. Still haven't had any luck after 2 years of hunting for it!
There is a massive 50 foot tall mammea Americana at the college I work at in davie. Great smell, great taste. But hard to eat and weird texture for me. Not worth growing for me until I see a dwarf variety or something better tasting and more edible. I guess I need to try the one you tasted and see if it matches up to the one that I have tasted.
Hello my friend, I know these fruit by the name of (MAMEY) nothing more it grow or we have in all Central America and South America, the best time to eat it is when fall off the tree, but if you cut it off the tree you could always ripe the fruit as you would be ripe a avocado fruit, I suggest you to an serging on a different fruit that we call it in Central America to be more specific from Costa Rica CHUPA CHUPA and it’s very similar to MAMEY, good luck AMIGO and really love your videos about fruits plants 👍👍👍👍
Dios te bendiga 🙏 en 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico se le yama mamei deliciosa
The young man wont let the older guy talk lol lol lol.
It’s an apricot. They have it all over in the Caribbean.
it taste like an apricot but it's not an apricot
Can it grow in zone 9b?
How are you sir. I have a question as a new floridian on mango that I see you know well. First do you have to graft to another mango tree or can you use other trees. And if you can other trees are there certain types you have to use and types you absolutely can not? Thanks in advance, be blessed and keep growing!
if you want a specific mango, youll need to get a cutting from that one specific tree. use that cutting to graft onto another mango sapling(from seed) or graft it onto another good variety. if you want to graft using a cutting you can either make the new tree the exact same tree you got the cutting from, OR you can put the cutting onto another good variety mango by grafting onto one of the branches instead of the whole tree. then you'll have 2 different flavor mangos on one tree. the branch with the new graft will be one kind, & the rest of the tree will be the same one it was (except for that new grafted branch)
has to be mango to mango
In El Salvador we call then mamey and the other one is zapote which I don’t like them 7:17
That 15g is definitely the same size as the 3g. It's only taller because of the pot size.
Where can I get a Small tree or seeds, to plant it in my house.
Thanks
How do you plant the Mammey seed? Can you do a video?
I don't have any seeds to plant but you plant it just like any other seed. I'll do a video in the summer
I've been trying to find this for so long. I want to know if you ship to Georgia. Thanks
Yes Julian at Lara Farms can ship it to you
Paul how big was the tree you bought? I bought a grafted one like 18 inches.
yea the tree I got was not big at ll it is in the video the 3 gallon
@@FruitfulTrees Thank you. Mine has been growing pretty well with all the rain. I discovered you have another channel. Great stuff.
Does this nursery ship to other states? I need to pick out a new fruit tree to replace one I lost in a storm. I live in Georgia.
contact them and ask them
What temp zones will this grow in? I am in Palm Bay florida.
West palm beach and below I think would be best
so from seed to harvest how long? or from graft to harvest how long? thank you . God bless you
Yes I hear it would take a long time for a seeded one. A grafted one 6 or 7 years
Paul, I don't think there's anyone in Miami who hasn't heard of Mamey, unless they just moved here from up north and never lived in a tropical country. Some people mistake the Sapote, for the Mamey, but most latinos and carribeans call this Mamey, and know the difference between the two an I've never heard anyone call it Mamey apple. . My wife's been asking for this for years, but the tree is so big I don't have room, same with lychee. I don't particularly like the fruit, so I'd rather add another variety of mango than this huge tree. Besides this fruit is so prolific, I can buy these down here on the side of the road so cheap, that it's not worth the extra work to grow one and keep it small.
are you sure you are not thinking or Mamey (Pouteria sapota) that is soft and tastes kind of like pumpkin pie? It is at every fruit stand in Miami, I have only seen this fruit (Mammea americana) a few times at fruit stands.
Two different types of trees. Mammea American And Mamey are not the same.
@@asasupplies8749 Well from what I've learned is it's basically a different variety of Mamey. It's locally called Mamey, some call it yellow Mamey as opposed the red Mamey (which is sometimes also called Sapote or whatever). This is the first I've heard of either species being called anything else but Mamey. So I learned something today.
This is not mamey sapote, it's mamee apple, very different fruit i think you are talking about mamey sapote.
Outside of its native range in southern Mexico and northern Central America, "sapote" is most popular in Cuba, where it's mostly called Mamey, which is why in Miami and when one orders fruit from growers they also call it Mamey and not Sapote. There are other different fruits also called Sapote. The fruit in this video is called Mamey de Santo Domingo in some places.
Paul, i don't have any more space.😢
That kid needs to stop interrupting his elder.
I think he is just passionate, excited and has lots of energy, and I think his dad understands and is probably happy to see him so excited and working hard instead of doing nothing.
He is a very knowledgeable kid. Good job
Nice that you are teaching him manners….who taught you?
I got the vibe he's on the spectrum, didn't seem he was trying to be rude.
@@el3ctros agree.
Can you grow it on a pot?
for some time but will need to get in the ground at some point
Paul buys another tree 🌳, where does he plant it?
He should add a second floor to his patio.😊
@@gadielgomez2709 Thinking about planting one at the rental property across the street. 😍
You will see him playing "musical chairs" moving trees around.
@rudekperezacupuncturist if Paul got another ½ acre property, he still has amassed more fruit trees in containers than room.
Can imagine po be imported to india amia po
Has anyone tried growing this in zone 9B?
not sure
Do not grow in a pot makes no sense I live in Grenada and have lone outside in my yard but a foot tall best fruit ever
The true mamey. The other should be called red sapote.
It’s pronounced “maa meee” not “maa may”. At least that’s how it’s pronounced in Guyana, South America. I think it’s an Amazonian fruit. 😁
MAMEY IS A PUERTO RICAN TRADITION FRUIT 🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷🔥🇵🇷
I used to think Lara was a rip off selling newly grafted trees for 60 bucks, until you made the vídeo two weeks ago of that Love nursery selling plants for $200 🤣🤦♂️💀 greedy people..
In the Caribbean these aren't eaten raw, they're cooked
Not true. They are often eaten naturally ripe without cooking.
@@kemouygeorge2960 only the outstanding trees are good enough to be eaten raw. Many others have subpar fruits that can't compete even with mediocre varieties of Mangoes, Mameys, etc
