Casimiroa / White Sapote - Te Puna - Grafted

Casimiroa Te Puna fruit has a rich, sweet flavor that resembles a combination of peach, banana, and pear. This variety has a great flavour and sweetness level. The external colour ripens green, and the flesh is a creamy white.

After harvesting, the fruit will ripen quickly and can be stored in cool temperatures for up to two weeks. The tree is a medium to very large evergreen tree that can grow up to 5m tall and spread up to 5m, and it provides dense shade. The tree can be kept smaller by pruning, and this will not affect fruit production if done after the harvest period. Te Puna is self fertile, and produces large fruit when pollinated, which contain 1-5 large seeds. Unpollinated fruit tend to be smaller and seedless.

The Te Puna Selection variety produces tasty orange-sized fruit from May to August.
