Cuccio
White Sapote(Casimiroa edulis)
A cultivar from Fallbrook, California (Cuccio, 1973; probable syn. Florida) known for coming quickly into bearing and for fruit that ripens while still green and keeps long and well on the tree.
Flavor Profile
Excellent taste (CRFG). Vendor descriptions add sweet, complex, pudding-like notes, but only 'excellent' is documented by CRFG.
Visual Characteristics
Fruit remains green when ripe rather than turning yellow.
Growing Tips
Quick to begin bearing and holds fruit well on the tree; fruit sunburns if the tree defoliates, so maintaining canopy over exposed fruit helps.
