I wonder if you could keep them as Bonsai in a pot?

I can't imagine getting much fruit of decent quality from a bonsai white sapote. I know there are larger, but the largest trees I've seen were about 30' tall with a trunk about 2' in diameter. And I've read of a single tree that produced over 6,000 pounds of fruit in one year. I've got mine in an area where I can tolerate a slimy mess on the ground for unharvested fruit.

I noticed earlier this week that my McDill has a cluster of blooms for the first time! :D I bought it as a 5 gallon potted tree in 12/07. :D

You're welcome! All my white sapotes have really enjoyed the weather this year. My nursery stock of them has sold well too, so I just ordered some more.

It was molting .Look how much it's grown in a month. The Swallowtail butterfly is laying eggs on it. I'll collect the caterpillars .

Yes. I wouldn't use it on edibles. It's Agri-Fos from Monterey Gardens (http://www.montereylawngarden.com/products/diseases/) Brand.

Personally, I think the non-systemic product Liqui-Cop works better and can be used on all plants if the directions are followed.

I don't carry the Agri-Fos, and at present I'm out of stock of Liqui-Cop. Many nurseries (not box stores) carry it though.

Would the ligui-cop work for dipping cuttings as well as a spray for damping off ?

I've never used it in as dip, instead I use seaweed extract. A damping off spray, yes. I'd need to check the "booklet" on the back of the bottle to see if there is a dosage for dipping cuttings.
