Casimiroa edulis is a stunning expression of tropical luxury, most commonly referred to as the White Sapote. This native of central Mexico is not simply a fruit-bearing plant; it's a striking addition to any landscape. Possessing a majestic potential height of 15 meters, the tree's glossy, dark green leaves beautifully embellish its silhouette throughout the year. Complementing the lush foliage, captivating clusters of small white flowers bloom in abundance.
