He has used Bonsai techniques on it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fpdrrZKNgNjQdM4.html As for my tree I could have worked harder to keep it down but I use it to block the light and sound from the USPS behind my house. Part of my philosophy with large plants is the only real estate in California that is free of charge is the vertical real estate. Up if free.

i gotta try them, I just discovered paw paws this year & im crazy about them. I noticed with paw paws your sense of smell tells you everything, the floral sweet smell that seems to indicate the final stages of ripeness is a good guide when to eat them at their perfect ripeness, and I find them absolutely divine.

In the wild the Pawpaw can be hunted with the nose. It was Euell Gibbons first book, Stalking the Wild Asparagus that got me into Pawpaws back in 1970. I lived in the native range of the fruit and had never seen one. I searched and searched. All the Pawpaw land had been turned into corn fields. Eventually I gave up and started planting the trees instead. These days i live in Hawaii and the Pawpaw resists growing in tropical weather. I have to settle for 6 of it's tropical cousins.

On occasion the wild trees can produce quality fruit. Generally the cultivated ones taste better anyway. Because the fruit bruises when ripe even from the fingers when picked it is a very rare thing to find in a farmers market. Ripe pawpaw left on the counter over night may still be edible but they sure aren't pretty. Because they are so hard to find I used to sell ever piece of fruit from my trees in CA as pick your own. The few that did hit the ground were used to raise seedling trees. I would scrape up all the fallen fruit and pile them in compost. By the next spring I would have hundreds of new trees.

Love seeing your tree Bill, hope to have some fruit of my own someday. Casimiroa edulis is rare but not unheard of in Phoenix... I've killed my share of trees but always keep trying. We did get down to 32 already but there is a lot of citrus in my neighborhood so I am hopeful to raise one to fruit bearing. I have a seedling in the ground that I've been covering with a 5 gallon bucket, hopefully it hangs in there until spring. Your trees are such an inspiration.

+timingisperfect I am pleased to hear my videos have been an inspiration for you. There are few things in this world more rewarding than cultivating healthy fruit trees. The pay back goes beyond money or words, it is good for the soul. I lived in Phoenix for a couple of years back in the early 70's. The amount of citrus in town gets me thinking that Casimiroa might succeed if it is well placed. The heat could be a problem but with enough moisture and a nice deep mulch they have a chance to succeed. I feel moved to offer you some advice about using plastic buckets for frost protection though. Don't use them, they are frost magnets. I lived for 15 years up in Northern Wisconsin just south of Lake Superior. We could get frost on a tomato crop up there any month of the year including June, July and August. Needless to say I have lots of experience with cover plants from cold. I learned my lesson on buckets on day in July when one of those Alberta Clippers moved in on my tomatoes and the night dropped to 28 f. I scrambled for everything I had to cover with and used it all. Most of the plants got covered with old burlap feed sacks filled with holes. I covered about 25% of them with five gallon poly commercial pails. When I ran out of those I went on to use old worn out bushel baskets full of holes. In the morning the bushel basket plants were the best because they had no frost and were standing straight. The burlap plants came in second they had no frost but the weight of the bags flattened the plants for a while until they stood back up. The plastic pail plants were 100% frozen brown as tobacco. The plastic works like a car. The car will make ice crystals when nothing else in the area gets frost. If you use plastic use the sheets and support them on a frame so the leaves don't touch. Frost burns through plastic if the plant touches it. Old bed sheets work much better than plastic. These days I use agribon for plant protection. My blessings to your Sapote! Good luck www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=agribon&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=40093521127&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7378630849597902800&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_1f32y7ol37_e

+sarahrose0413 Yes, I understand your problem quite well. I lived in Phoenix from 1971 to 1973. Back in those days they still had date farms citrus groves and cantaloupe or onion fields all across the town. If you got up at 5 AM they would run sheep through the down town between the skyscrapers to change pastures. The heat is really good for citrus, particularly grapefruit, best I ever ate. The Pecan does very well there too, had a huge one in my yard. It does get hot though. Not just too hot for some plants, too hot for me! I love the Sonoran Desert but I couldn't take the summers. Fremont California is one of those climates that are a suburb to the Garden of Eden. It seldom gets hotter than 88 and only drops below freezing for brief periods. The cold here is more of a blessing than a problem. It is mild enough to grow Limes and Avocados but just cool enough to chill down apples, pears and cherries. It is one of the few places on earth that subtropical and temperate crops grow side by side. I have been here for the past 25 years and really like the Bay Area but it is getting crowded and I plan to retire next year. We bought two acres in Hawaii back in 2004, built a new house on it in 2007 then filled the first acre with 400 coffee trees, 500 white pineapple plants and scores of assorted exotic fruit trees. I am still scratching my head as to what I will do with the second acre. First project will be a large greenhouse for propagation and some auqaponics fish farming. I am considering raising fresh water prawns as a retirement project along with some vanilla orchids that I have been planting. Hawaii is still a very good investment. The world gets crazier everyday and Hawaii is America's only tropical paradise. People come there from every corner of the planet clutching money in their hands and wanting a share of the local aloha. There are few places on earth with a climate as mild. It won't matter much once I sell the CA house and move but it sure would be nice to find a buyer who could appreciate all the planting I have done here rather than cutting it all down. Some where there is a lucky person who would just love to acquire my gardens.

This is my next seed purchase. Also wanted to try star apple.

We used to bury the unripe Sapote in soil, if not wheat flour or any other flour if wheat is not available. It gets ripe in a week or two depending the level of development of the fruit. These were a delicacy fruit by in tropical northeast Africa. These trees are very environmental selective. I would love if I could get some ripe seeds of these. I live in Canada, and would appreciate if there would be any possibility to get it.

+Tanja F Thanks for being inspired! Makes it all worth while. Cuttings are kind of difficult to do and Sapote don't root easily anyway. They need to be grafted to seedlings instead. I would be very happy to send you some seeds though and since the crop is coming ripe it is a good time. For the trouble of harvesting, cleaning and shipping them I would ask $10. More videos coming in the future, stay tuned and thanks for watching. Happy holidays, Bill

Sorry, we sold the Fremont house a few years back and moved to Hawaii. If your on vacation give me a call.

I just swallowed a white sapote seed. Halp.

You're in luck it will have a complete organic fertilizer when it comes back out! I believe the seeds have a narcotic property.

GreenGardenGuy1 I did feel dead-tired after a while and went to bed a couple of hours early, but that could just be a coincidence. Sleeping pills that "grow on trees" might be marketable. Although the FDA might have things to say..

I just checked on that and sure enough, the leaves, bark and seeds are listed as mildly narcotic and sleep inducing. I believe to get the effect from the seed though you would likely have to open the shell and grind the kernel. Most likely you just got tired and the seed will slip through unopened ready to grow a tree!
