Harvey, your white sapote can be very good. I only ate one that I liked, but I didn't like it enough to give it room in the garden. But I do have a fantastic sapote it's a Mamey sapote. It's ripening now and we are filling up the freezer. Then we can have home made Mamey ice cream all year around. Just ask any Cuban and they will tell you that the Mamey is the best of all fruit. If a reader of the note happens to be the one Cuban that doesn't like Mamey please don't fuss at me. We are still eating our mangoes and that's my favorite. Gee and I wrote this on the banana site.
Both of my jabotacaba trees are 70+ years. I bought them 50 years ago. They were planted in my parents home and moved to our yard about 1970. They give us large crops in winter and spring and small crops the rest of the year. We have a fair amount of ripe fruit on one tree at this time, but it is too high up to bother. They like a lot of water. In Brazil they grow naturally by rivers and streams.
