Illia, my first white sapote tree was planted in 2008. In 2010 I planted a few more and grafted them to various varieties including one to the 'Santa Cruz' shown above. In 2011 I planted some more and now have 12 trees in the ground grafted to a total of about 30 different varieties (maybe 7-8 on the first tree). The tallest tree is about 10 feet tall with a trunk of about 4" in diameter. Still quite small, relatively. They have had almost no damage at all even down to 22F so far.

Ante, sorry, but I'm planting them myself. I've waited over four years for my first fruit and they are quite "rare" in northern California, especially around where I live (none that I know of for at least 50 miles) so it's been a challenge for me to get them myself. They are much more common around Tony (sunfish). I made a trip down to Exotica Nursery once to buy 10 large seedlings for grafting and that's about 400 miles away.
