Casimiroa Sue Belle is a fruit with a rich sweet flavor that is reminiscent of a combination of peach, banana, and pear. It has a smooth texture and the fruit should be picked while firm and changing color from green to yellow. The fruit is mature enough to pick when it can be gently released from the tree with a twist. The skin of the fruit is delicate, so handpicking is preferable to prevent damage and spoilage. After harvesting, the fruit will ripen quickly.
Sue Belle is self-fertile, and pollinated fruit grows largest, containing 1-5 large seeds embedded in the flesh. Unpollinated fruit does form, but these seedless fruits are generally smaller.
Casimiora care tips
- Subtropical to tropical, tolerating brief temperatures down to -5.5°C. However, young trees require frost protection.
- Prefers moderate humidity, but adapts well to high humidity.
- Requires sunny locations in cooler areas, with potential for some shade in warmer climates.
- Needs regular watering, though it can withstand short dry periods.
- Deep soil is essential due to its large taproot; container growing is limited to trees with root pruning or cuttings.
