Canistel -Pouteria Campechiana

Round to oval fruit matures to a yellow-orange colour hence its other common name of 'egg fruit' and yellow sapote. The yellow flesh has a sweet earthy flavour and a unusual texture similar to a boiled egg. Trees are not demanding of soils provided they are well-drained and are wind tolerant once established. Prefers moist and fertile loamy soils, rich in organic matter, protect from frost when young.
