Didn't even know about this fruit until we moved here to the yucatan. Just like Alex said they are native here. My wife's favorite fruit ever. Also the wood these trees produce is absolutely beautiful and very expensive to buy. Thank you for the great video.
Would love to see a video dedicated to grafting sapodillas. I understand they're on the more difficult side and can be pretty finicky. Thanks for the consistent content.
Hi, this was great, I had my first sapodilla last year from Echo and have been in love ever since. Have a Molix and a Silas Wood and waiting to plant them. I'm in 9B. Great to know about the Silas, I plan to plant it in a sheltered spot near the front of my house. Will watch again and note the varieties, lots to learn here. I like the way you ask a question and drill down to varieties and cultivation, also harvest times!
Great video! Lots of great info/knowledge. Thank you. I have a Tikal Sapodilla that I planted in the ground about 3-4 years ago. I have pruned it a bit to shape it and it is still about 5 feet tall. No fruit yet. Based on this video, I will stop pruning it for 2 seasons just to see what happens…
That's great! I have a few in Zone 9B and have found them to be more cold hardy than mangoes. But very slow growth rate -- mine hardly grew 4-5 inches in a year!
Sapodiiia in Japanese loan word is サポヂ─ア,I am a Taiwanese, when I was 5 years old, I had eaten Sapodilla once, it was an impressive experience in my childhood. We called 查某李仔 in Taiwanese, 查某·sound Sapo means girl, 李仔· sound Llia means plum, the sound similar to Japanese Sapodilla, because Taiwan has been ruled by Japan before WII.
Great video on the sapodilla fruit. I have few of them, but I would like you to do some videos on some more tropical trees like abiu, achcha, grumichama trees and others trees like that because they are being over looked.
You should take a visit to Broward College Central campus. I work there and it started my passion when I found out how many fruit trees were there. Not sure how old, but there’s many different varieties. Sapodilla, avocados, longan, soursop that grows biiiiig fruit. Just to name a few
