I tasted white sapote for the first time today. There was a big tree, full of fruit, in the parking lot of a botanical garden near me. Hundreds rotted on the ground, so I picked a couple from the tree that was still full of ripening fruit. They were baseball-sized, maybe a different variety from the ones you had. So sweet and delicious: lemon-custard-cantelope taste and it seemed a bit sweeter and creamier near the seed. There were two fat seeds and three that were skiny slivers. I'll plant the fat ones.
I'm growing white sapote right now and I have so much fruit. I just wasn't sure when to harvest it. After watching your video, now I know when to pick it. I hope I love the taste! Thank you.
You're so lucky to live in the kind of climate you have. I wish I could just grow everything I like. I would love to have citrus and avocados and everything tropical. Unfortunately we have winters down in the teens sometimes and on average in the 30's. =( Ty for the samples you sent. I got them today in the mail. I will wait to try them after I get off the antibiotics so I can see if it helps my diabetes. I did not want to have any weird reactions from all the medicines I am on right now. Can't wait to try it. Thank you again so much.
i have a "redland" white sapote tree. the fruits have a nice flora smell and kinda taste like mango. this variety is the select few that doesn't have the bitter taste near the skin; the fruits are medium size but much bigger than the largest one that you held. if you ever want bud wood, let me know. redland white sapote is in the top tier in term of quality just like sir prize avocado.
Hi Wendi, nice video as always. We planted a Black Sapote inside the our Permaculture chicken coop. It's a great fruit. We call it the chocolate pudding tree. I will try and hunt down some White ones and see how they taste. Happy Gardening Marty Ware (from Marty's Garden Australia)
+martysgarden Hey Marty! Miss ya! That is awesome you have a chocolate pudding tree. I bet the chicken love them! I have a video of that fruit before, must say the texture is incredible! You should be able to grow the white sapote without problems. Hope you find it. Happy Gardening! :D
Black sapote is a kind of tropical persimon. I have a tree. I don't believe it is closely related to the white sapote. In fact, there are several tropical fruits of central American origin which are called 'sapote' but are not closely related. As I understand, 'sapote' is from a native American language, perhaps Mayan, and just means a fruit.
Thanks for video, was really nice. I have a white sapote tree in Greece looks good but the problem is not having fruits yet...starts having them but not till ripe ...
those were not ripe, if they were then they would be dissolving in your hand kinda like wet toilet paper. if im not mistaken those are suebelle sapotes when they are ripe they turn a yellowish color.
The ones I had were the most ripe from the market. They have to pick them early to sell. When I waited for some of them to get more soft and yellow, they were fermenting. I'm sure you can have the best tasting ones if you had a tree!
You should grow one of the trees! I picked up a Chestnut White Sapote from Exotica (Vista, CA) for only $10 and I traded an Ice Cream Bean tree for a Golden White Sapote. It will be a few years before they fruit but it will be well worth the wait!
Great video, and the Sapote is also great for getting natural sugar free fiber and is heart healthy. Its high potassium content protects cardiovascular health by keeping blood pressure in check and supporting normal heart function. Its also an excellent source of vitamin C, so it can help maintain firm capillaries and blood vessels. I bet it would also be great mashed and mixed in with you favorite weekly clay mask. Hope you're well and looking forward to spring :)
+Deb Flaherty Thanks for all the info! Sometimes I do take left over avocado and rub it on my face. I'm sure this would make a good, hydrating mask too, but I just don't have enough to make it right now. :D
Hi, Wendi. Trái cây này được trồng ờ vườn nhà của Wendi hay ở đâu vậy?... nghe Wendi nói mà thấy ngon quá... Thấy mấy video clips Wendi post xem thấy khoái quá... ăn trái cây tươi thì ngon lắm.... Mến chúc Wendi và Gia đình luôn được nhiều niềm vui và hạnh phúc.
I bought this tree two years ago from Costco in Orange County, Calfornia for $25 about 5 feet tall. It's about 12 feet tall now. I got flowers last year, but they ended up with no fruits. Currently I have three fruits on my tree. I can't wait to taste them from my tree. I tasted the fruits before and I like them. You can see more information about this tree: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_sapote
Hi Wendi!! Do you have any seeds of the White Zapote??? I love this fruit it reminds me when I just to climb on these trees by the lake of Chapala en Jalisco México. I am from Guadalajara México but I live now in Tucson Arizona USA. Have a great day.
There r MANY videos here on UA-cam but I WANT 2 say that your videos r 1 of my favorite because of the all of information you give us - u explain not only with your words but with your body language, when u r eating something, you bring your subject matter close up 2 the camera, your little giggles - it all works well 4 u and u make these videos not only fun but educational-- HOPE I explained it well - bottom line......u r AWESOME and you make AWESOME videos - THANKS 💕🐢💕
Thank you so much! You are so sweet! Sorry for the delay, I seem to have missed some comments here. More videos are up since then. I hope you'll enjoy.
@@kari7403 No, I got nothing. Here in México plants, trees spread easily, but we have many worms, crickets, etc which affect flowers and fruit. I have, many but they eat everything; in fact they can kill a whole one. I also don´t want to use chemicals. I´ve got and eaten: peach, pomegranate, fig, mexican cherry of my own garden, but worms invaded my white zapotes.
@@raycastillo6446 aw, I'm sorry to hear it. Hopefully you will have some luck next year. At least you got some of the other fruits. 👍 I hope to have a bunch of different fruit trees like that in the next few years. Good luck with yours. At least you got them to bloom a bit. Thats something. I'm not familiar with Mexican cherries. I'll have to check them out.
You can find the fruit at farmers markets around southern California from people's backyard orchards when they're in season. About $5/lb. You'll see grafted trees for sale at the big box stores every once in a while and people sell seedlings on craigslist in those same areas.
I live in California and I am Asian, I never heard or eat of this, is this fruit come from Asian? I hope you giveaway the seed so I can plan it in my backyard.
+realamerican2580 Nice to know you guys are interested in getting hold of the seeds. I shall save them for you next time. This fruit is from central Americas so most likely you won't see them in Asian places.
From MÉXICO as the black, chico zapote, yellow zapote and mamey. I have 3 black (babies) and a white which is going to give fruit this year. 2 jun 20 mart

i love white sapote, if you freeze them you can eat them like icecream. i have a sapote tree in my backyard.
Ooooh I bet!! :D

Wow! I want some white sapote right now.... I'm going to be hunting for some seeds!

so awesome... where have you been all my life ! great food forest, love the variety.
Have you planted White Sapote yet in South Carolina?
Try black sapote. I heard it tastes like chocolate. White sapote tastes like custard.
I tired the black sapote before! It's up on my channel! The aroma is not like cocoa but the texture does resemble a lot like the chocolate spread.
Black sapote has little flavor. Not chocolate.

I love you're videos so
Much you think you could do a video on how to grow Sugar Cane also how to eat it :)
I definitely trying to find this white sapote tree to grow in my backyard, loved it a lots 🍒🥝🍐🍋🍈👌💕
Ate white sapote today, first time ever. Yummy
How many do you eat?
I grew up in Sonora, MX and I used to eat these, so yummy 😋
Anybody know where I can get some if these trees here in Florida?
Thanks for video, was really nice. I have a white sapote tree in Greece looks good but the problem is not having fruits yet...starts having them but not till ripe ...
What's their glycemic index or glycemic load?
those were not ripe, if they were then they would be dissolving in your hand kinda like wet toilet paper. if im not mistaken those are suebelle sapotes when they are ripe they turn a yellowish color.

If it was $10 it would have been a seedling of a Chestnut variety rather than the actual tree which would have had to have been a grafted tree.
Just tried some! Yum!
Not really oily like an avocado, though, in my experience.
The white sapotes I've eaten were like guava-ish, cotton-candy-ish pears.
How many years they have traí

Woww, I live in London and I wonder if I'll ever get to find exotic fruits like this!
If you ever visit Spain on holiday you could probably find some there.

Hmmm... Black sapote & now WHITE sapote ⁉️
They are apparently unrelated... & I've never tried either one.
how cold this tree can handle?

I just bought two from the farmers market. Mine are much softer, they got smushed in the bag on the drive home.

Perhaps, i can get some seed for growing on my backyard.thnks b4
Wendi where are you living in U.S.A now ? !... Sounds like heaven there!! I never heart about this fruit before!
Quả j vậy bạn

White sapote makes me feel weird haha
Oh! Trông có vẻ rất ngon huh?
How much did the white sapote cost? U need to do a sapote seed giveaway😉
I composted them. :( that's a good suggestion I will do that next time! I think I paid $10-12 for those.

I hope I get that seed from you lol
these fruits and vegetables you eat I've never even heard of them. :3
