Casimiroa, White Sapote 'LNP' Seedling

Casimiroa, also known as white sapote, is an underrated subtropical fruit which has the taste and consistency of custard. It is also quite hardy and vigorous, doing well outdoors in most of the North Island.

LNP is a yellow-fleshed variety and has a stronger flavour than the white types. It's unique and so hard to describe, but if anything it is like banana custard.

This plant is grafted and at least a couple years old. Seedlings can take a very long time to fruit and often do not grow true to type. While these seem capable of setting fruit on their own, we recommend you have two varieties for a heavy crop.

They appear to tolerate most soil types and (in our experience) have been quite forgiving of less than perfect draining soil, which quickly killed our avocados. Seedling trees can grow huge, but you can comfortably keep grafted trees like this one at 2-3m high.
