Besides Durian Fruit that I can’t grow in Florida my favorite fruit is white sapote. Yes I can grow white sapote in Florida. Check out my white sapote trees.
These are some excellent Tropical Fruit Tree Nurseries who sell white sapote that I mentioned in the video

we purchased a campbell from Lara farms. We will plant and protect up here in North Fl. We have a few plants in a greenhouse so we hope to add white sapote to the collection in the spring. our black sapote we planted in 2021 has its first six fruits this year. also from Lara Farms. Thanks Paul
Thank you so much for the great video! I LOVE your videos! I am growing 3 white sapote seedlings in the desertm all under 2 years old. Why did you take out the soursop? Also, if your white sapote is in fact and Redlands and so is your neighbor's, wouldn't that mean that they are genetically identical hence they cant cross pollination? Maybe his could be a Redlands seedling?
It’s so fun, buying a fruit tree and planting it. Happy for you.
I’m not sure if it’s true or not but I have heard that if you put a ring of copper around the base of your fruit, the snails don’t like to cross the copper 🤷♀️
The only thing with Redlands variety is that is has a bitter skin. When I tried it , I did not like it because of that.
I just bought a Soubelle grafted on Vernon. Should be in the ground this weekend (Punta Gorda area). Maybe I should have got a Redlands lol, another reason for another tree😂😅😊
Thanks!Awesome video Paul you always bring a wealth of info that keeps me growing, thanks, and keep it up.
I have 5 ws… two unknown seedlings,1 unknown mature, cuccio and walton. I want to get rainbow, roberts rainbow, malibu#3, sunset, and fairhaven. The cultivars that are considered "excellent" have skin that is not bitter.
I have Redlands growing in Orlando… flowered for the first time this year but didn’t hold fruit
Hello Paul, could you send me address of gentleman in Odessa?
I have retrieved seeds from the Dominican Republic from fruits I ate. I am in Puerto Rico. They are 1 year old and growing very well. I hope they produce fruit?
Planted a Delicious Black variety about a month ago. Now planting a red jaboticaba this weekend . planning ahead, so I dig just once.
Your viewers should grow white sapote from seed. A quarter of white sapote seedlings are contenders for the best varieties.
We have an orange tree which will be ready in a few weeks here in California.
I am partial to Mangoes!
Salt will actually kill the snails!
Underused and undergrown fruit! I love it! Rocks my world. Creamy vanilla custard with a little pear.
How much money should a 15 gallon size white sapote be?
Paul, I'm skeptical of a fall fruiting white sapote. Since Jack and the Beanstalk told you the Densler fruits in the fall, if they have their own fruiting tree, maybe you can go back when it is fruiting and show us the wonders of a fall WS. Also let us know how they taste!
Paul, have mentioned this before. Here is a detailed video from a dedicated White Sapote grower in California talking about cvs and more. https://youtu.be/d8aoHbwVKI4?si=EyFQg6L4HXhwU-1Z
I have been growing Younhams WS for many years and love it. Try cold WS drizzled with some fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice along with some of the oils from the lemon or lime peel.
The west coast (CA) has the best white sapote. Bob Chambers was an expert in the field. The best varieties on the west coast: Rainbow, Pike, Lemon Gold, Hawaiian Supreme, Chambers, Golden Globe
Paul I purchased an air layered Younghans white sapote with fruit on it from South Eden Nursery(Kissimmee).
