Here is a lemon gold white sapote I had last week, from a neighbor of my mother, very creamy and sweet with a hint of lemon.

Small size but seems tasty ,, and the sapodilla is awesome as well

not sure but I don't believe those are saps, I think they are mameys...

Amr,

they are not small, about the size of a grapefruit and some are 3X the size of my Suebelle.

One of the few tropicals I have yet to taste, so gotta ask...what do they taste like ? Texture looks awesome.

Hi Bsbullie

Ok, I gave a brief description in the above post "very creamy and sweet with a hint of lemon" but I'll try to be a little more specific.

The texture is like Flan , custard, with a hint of lemon, cherimoya and cinnamon, no aftertaste or bitter skin. I don't think they do very well in SoFL but PI sells cultivars especially suited for your climate. In a scale of 1 to 10 , 10 being best, this variety is an 8 Suebelle is a 9.

YES JF ,, they are located beside mamey sapote ,, i though it to be sapodilla , lol ,

They seem awesome and the taste as well ,,, hope Top brings it insted of the varieties it have ,,

JF: do you know anyplace in LA or OC that sells the sapote fruits? I'll be visiting OC this weekend. I have what I believe is a "green" sapote, bought at Home Depot last year, so far no fruits. I'd love to try a sapote, any variety.

Thanks,

Newgen,

I bought a nice sized 'Subelle' White Sapote last year from Greenthumb International in Lake Forest for $39. They had 2 varieties McDill and Subelle. They may have some instock, I would call before you go.

nullzero: Am I reading that price correctly, $39? For ONE fruit?

He meant the tree for sure :D
