Ed:

Please refresh my memory.....was this your project to try to get more cold tolerance for your White Sapote? I forget....but I think that is what you had told me somewhere a while back. What is the cold tolerance range of pringlei vs. white sapote? Glad to see your grafts have taken and taken off...well, kind of...at least they are growing.

Harry

Harry,

The C. pringlei is hardy down to about 8F and White Sapote has only been hardy to about 22F at my place. I am hoping if they prove to be compatible that the C. pringlei will pass on some of its hardiness to the C. edulis scion.

Ed

I wonder how, if at all, it will affect the fruit taste?? Very interesting project, thanks for keeping us posted.

Hey Ed,

Wondering if you still have casmiroa pringlei growing at your place and if I could get some scions or seed from you? I have some other cool plants for trade.

@katyrarefruitgrower

hey Ed

I have the same project in France.

After 12 years, what are your results: hardiness, taste, tree size ?

thanks Alain
