The Sophia is a prolific fruiting selection with white flesh that is sweet and rich with a smooth, custardy vanilla flavour. Has performed exceedingly well in Adelaide SA. Originating in Quito, Ecuador. My latest planting, one I am very excited about, cannot wait to taste that fruit!
This weekend we will be covering all the more sensitive fruits with some 50% shadecloth to ensure we dont lose things like last year.....19 frosts in a row was too much for about half a dozen of my plants!

I have never heard of this fruit. I will have to pay better attention to what's out there in the world.
OMG I love Custard Apples so much!
Nom nom nom.
I find that Sapote is very similar - but without the bitchy little seeds every bite.
Hi BMG, I got the plant from Daleys, they have some wonderfully exotic fruits there:)
Hey Cat, good to hear from you! I have the white sapote, it's going mad, also purchased the chocolate sapote, that hated our weather and curled up its toes lol
Great fun to try out all the new things, some work out, others dont, but you never know until you try them:)
Hi Molly,
I look forward to your first crop and the great "Sophia Fruit Give Away". Can I put my entry in now? ;)
I wish I could send out Ramsey, but I think its going to be a few years before I see any fruit..........but when I do I will remind you how yummy they are again LOL!
Ever since I started down this gardening journey I keep discovering new fruits. That are also able to grow locally.
Its all about the journey Jason, and I love that:)
