Wiki Woo Casimiroa (Casimiroa edulis)
An excellent variety of Casimiroa (yellow flesh) smooth, aromatic, creamy and really the best tasting casimiroas we have ever tasted. The plants are grown from a reliable seed sourced locally in NZ.
Wonderful fruit the size of an apple with a thin green skin. The pulp is delicious, creamy and smooth, the flavour is sweet and rich. Generally fruit is mature if it comes easily from the tree with a gentle twist, changes to a lighter colour and is slightly soft to touch. Handle gently as they bruise easily. Store in a cool spot and eat within a few days of ripening.
The trees are prolific fruiters, hardy to some frost, long lived, large and spreading in habit. Best for being pruned.
Our plants are 14+ months old
Disclaimer:
Although some seeds growing plants are not true to type, it will still provide you with a delicious tasting fruit in years to come. Occasionally the trees are self-fertile, but nearly always you will need two varieties for pollination.
