South Florida Backyard Nectar

White Sapote

Redland

History

A named selection originally cultivated in South Florida's Redland agricultural area.

Taste profile

Generally described as sweet and creamy with tropical hints of banana, vanilla, or peach - worth noting that opinions on this particular variety vary more than most; at least one experienced grower has described a batch as having an unpleasant medicinal note, so fruit quality may vary more tree to tree than with other selections.

Growing habits

Standard white sapote care.

Shipping

Does not ship well. Very soft when ripe. White sapote seeds are toxic and should never be eaten.
