FRUITS OF THE WHITE SAPOTE, CASIMIROA EDULIS. 
The white sapote is a spring fruit, ripening in May in Florida. It can be picked green and 
ripened off the tree, has a delicate but extremely agreeable bitter aftertaste which prevents its 
sweetness from cloying, and its smooth, fiberless, custardlike texture is extremely attractive. 
To some people it does not appeal, while others are very enthusiastic over it. There are varieties 
superior to this one, which is from a Mexican seedling tree at the Miami Garden. Photographed 
(P19536FS) by E. L. Crandall, May 29, 1916.
