I’ve bought 5 White Sapote varieties from Julian thanks to your videos Paul. I live in Jacksonville that gets frost and hopefully can get White Sapote to fruit up here in 9a. Thank you for your videos highlighting this fruit. Not as much online about them compared to other fruit.
Paul, Thank you for getting Juliana to talk about trees. Juliana is a nice guy who has loads of knowledge. If you can do more with him it would be great.
When is Julian going to have his Improved Pollock avocado trees available? I need another avocado variety to fill the fall-ripening slot. I think either that one or Maria Black would work. I want a small tree with great fruit. I have nowhere to plant a white sapote tree, but I'm impressed with Campbell.
@@GamerBen87 From what I remember, white sapote has a vanilla like flavor with a smooth buttery texture. Cinnamon apple has a sweet milky flavor with a very gritty texture, however the grit does break down as it's chewed. White sapote is consistently good to eat (at least from a particular tree), whereas I've had cinnamon apples taste bad several times. It's possible I didn't pick/ripen the cinnamon apple properly.
@@dlhvac1Thanks for the reply! I figured they probably wouldn't come true from seed, but was just wondering about how long it would normally take to produce anything.
Somebody sold be a supposed grafted one of these, but I never fruited it, so can't confirm. The grafted tree died back a lot after a transplant, and may not make it. I air layered it prior to that, though. The air layered tree was sent to a fellow in Guam. I will be ordering straight from the source next time I get the chance, though.
shucks. no more on the website. I cut down my Sue Belle that I got from California because it was just so darn bitter; maybe it didn't like Florida soil. It would be great to have a fruit that wasn't so bitter.
Fascinating! I've been hearing about the California varieties like Sue Belll for years. I was hoping they would have a better flesh to seed ratio. But, if they are bitter...
@@FruitfulTrees I bought it from a nursery in California. I wouldn't be surprised if it was mislabeled. I can't guarantee it was a SueBelle although that was what I ordered.
Since you had an established tree and root stock you could have pruned the tree back to the trunk and done bark grafts of several different varieties. It’s a shame to waste the years the tree invested in establishing its rootstock. Grafts on that established rootstock would save you years of waiting for fruit.
Just like you Paul. Your appreciation for raw food is contagious and you could always have another one.

Great video! We added 2 of these to the garden this year from Julian and can't wait to try them!
Thank you for your help💖🙏🏻
This fruit is so amazingly smooth like ice cream
Mr We hope you visit and interview Dr Richard Campbell one more time. We like more clarification about his Wangos. Thank you Paul

I was looking for one also
Both great choices I think Maria black is easier to find but both are great.
Shalom ❤🙏🏻
How big is the tree? Is it self-pollinatied? Do you need 2 trees for the fruit?
Those caterpillars turn into a swallowtail butterfly.
Mr Paul about the Mango Festival coming at Fairchild BG, Are those different farm owners will attend? Like Alex ,Julian,and more.
not sure who will be there. I think julian is teaching there both days
Can you do grafts this time of year in Florida?
How are the Mcdill variety? Has anyone tried them yet?
Grew one from seed . Taking forever to get goig for me in my area of Oxnard ca
I've never had white sapote but I tried a cinnamon apple at Fruit and Spice Park which I really liked. Is it similar?
No, white sapote is better.
White sapote tastes like a rich creamy vanilla pudding in a fruit
@@bizee9119 That's exactly what cinnamon apple tasted like

Do you have the black sapota ?
How long for the average
non -grafted, white sapote seedling to fruit.
Maybe 6-8 years???
Never come true to seed

Sapote
I hear white sapote gets worms. Can you confirm?
I have never seen worms, but they are very perishable.
white sapote doesn't get worms
Does it need cross pollination?
dont' think so
No more room for big trees. 😔 😟

@@nicholas8479 It was a nice small tree though with large fruit. The problem was the aftertaste. Just nasty in my opinion.
I have Sue Belle here in Florida and taste great not bitter at all.
