Fertiliser Recommendations for Horticultural Crops
Casimiroas (White Sapote)

The casimiroa (Casimiroa edulis) appears to grow best on well drained light soils supplemented with large amounts of organic matter. A good, consistent supply of water is important. In the absence of other information, a citrus fertiliser programme rich in N is probably suitable.
