White Sapote grows great in Florida. In this video I show you my growing collection of white sapote trees. Check out my white sapote trees.
These are some excellent Tropical Fruit Tree Nurseries who sell white sapote trees that I mentioned in the video

I have 3 trees that made it through 25 F in Richmond Hill Ga
I’m in the Bay Area CA, I have Vernon, Suebelle, Walton, Younghans, Rainbow, Redlands, McDil, Nettie, Cuccio, and Lemon Gold. My Vernon is about 6 years old, in the ground, and has many huge softball size fruits, that started ripening last week. The Vernon always has fruits, fruitlets, and/ or flowers, at any given time of the year. My Suebelle usually fruits about twice a year or so. My Redlands are flowering aright now, haven’t tried this variety yet. The Younghans is more of a savory flavor in my opinion, but maybe the fruits I had weren’t all the way ripe. It’s an air-layered tree, so I let it grow some fruits that I could try, but maybe didn’t let them get all the way ripe. I remove the flowers now until it gets big enough to carry the fruit.
are there any varieties that are best for pots?
Thank you Paul for your videos. Your YouTube channel is unique and although other people mention white sapote your consistent praise of the fruit has probably changed its popularity in the state. I know I have personally bought four white sapotes from your videos with Julian without being able to taste the fruit. I look forward to my own trees producing one day. Thank you
Do they taste different? If you can only have one tree, which would you recommend?
So, about 50% of your yard will be white sapote.
Patiently waiting for when you will sell off the varieties you don’t like! Hahaha.
Surprised you didn’t adhere to your own advice about trying a fruit before buying a tree!
My favorite tropical fruit too, when in California! gonna try to grow here in Tucson if I can beat the dry heat
👍
Paul's favorite fruit is the Donnie Avocado 🥑
I grow 15 different ones in Europe, all from seed and all different, one of them has small fruits now.
I have a designated place in my yard, oh – there is a fruit tree already growing there 😮
I have a variety from the Dominican Republic. 1 year old from seed growing very well in Puerto Rico. Do they need cold to fruit?
Here in the west end of the San Fernando Valley I just ate my last ripe Vernon White Sapote but my tree is loaded with flowers and fruitlets. BTW, it's very dry and hot here in the summer. Regularly get 110+ for days on end and it loves it.
Hey Paul,thank you for sharing this video clip, I really enjoy watching it. Do you know What white sapote variety produce the biggest fruit?
Man cannot live on mango alone.
Paul, keep us up-to-date on the "vernon" and the "fruit hunter" varieties. I think these are the ones we are looking for.
If they are all in season at the same time, then please do a taste test!
What an exuberant feeling that must be , to see that graft pushing a new growth. Especially a Campbell. The strength in that mature ‘rootstock’ will give you early fruit. Congratulations
One of the winter varieties of White Sapote your looking for is called Hawaiian Supreme. Either check out members of Californa Rare Fruit Council or Dales Nurseries in (Australia) for this variety.
Paul, add the Smathers, aka wooly leaf, from the Fruit and Spice Park. Huge fruit size, but very shy bearer. Tastes similar to Redland, but much better flesh to seed ratio. Leaves are nice to touch.
