Casimiroa / White Sapote - Platts - Grafted

Considered one of the best varieties of Casimiroa with good clusters of even sized and shaped fruit with a lovely golden skin and excellent flavour. Flavour resembles a combination of peach, banana and pear with a smooth texture.

The tree is medium to heavy bearing.
Casimiroa are surprisingly easy to grow for a tropical tasting fruit. It is evergreen and can handle light frosts once established. They are self fertile and generally require only little maintenance. All Casimiroa are self fertile.

These are grafted trees and will usually produce flowers and fruit this year, and some of our current stock already has flowers forming now. Although these will start to form fruit, it is best to remove them for the first season to let the tree focus on growth, rather than fruit production.

The tree is an excellent specimen, with a bushy and semi-weeping habit. It has rich green foliage and a short semi-deciduous period after flowering. It is a small to medium-sized tree, growing up to 4 meters in both height and spread. It can also be pruned to keep the tree smaller. Pruning should be done after fruit harvest.
