Casimiroa / White Sapote - Mac's Golden - Grafted

Mac's Golden is a very good variety of Casimiroa, with a deep yellow flesh and rich flavour. The fruit are large, and slightly more oval in shape compared to the traditional round/squat shape of other varieties. The flesh is like custard, and it is eaten by slicing it in half, and scooping it out with a spoon. 

The tree is a little slower growing than most other Casimiroa, so an ideal variety for growing in a large pot or smaller garden. 

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.

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.
