White sapote, Casimiroa edulis
TL;DR
-pest resistant
-can fruit in large pot
-bring indoors when temps go below 27F
-same nutritional/water needs as citrus
-“Suebelle” cultivar can flower/fruit more than once a year
-tasty fruit
-toxic seeds
I’ve grown white sapote since the start of Covid and no pests have attacked it. Online searches says it can get scale and aphids but they have never been a problem for me.
It is sensitive to temperatures below 27F but the tree will grow and fruit in a pot to drag indoors in winter. Mine stays out almost all year with a week or two in the garage during cold snaps.
