Default Re: Anybody growing white sapote?

The "official" ARS site for Casimoroa's is the Subtropical Horticulture Research Station in Miami ( http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=10134 ). Not much info there, unless you are lucky enough to meet one of the staffers.

The University of South Florida has a good outreach program on tropical and subtropical fruits, for example: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/HE632 I've learned a lot from this site in general.

The CRFG web pages have an interesting article in the fruit facts, but these pages are sorely in need of updates: http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/whitesapote.html Worth reading for the timeless information.

I noticed a small plot of mature trees at the UC ANR South Coast Field Station in Irvine last September (2007), but I keep procrastinating about determining the PI, etc.
