White Sapote

White sapote is a fast-growing, drought-tolerant evergreen tree that bears creamy, custard-flavored fruit often compared to a blend of peach and vanilla. Grafted cultivars (Vernon, Suebelle, Cuccio) fruit in 3–5 years and produce more reliably than seedlings, which can take a decade or more and show highly variable fruit quality. Trees are self-fertile, though two cultivars nearby increase set. Harvest when fruit is light green to yellowish, yields slightly to palm pressure, and separates easily from the stem; it ripens to soft within 3–5 days at room temperature and has very short shelf life. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 240–360 дюймів Висота: 180–480 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–28 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–27°C
