 54/ Chrysophyllum cainito and albidum / Gambeya albida 

Pest resistant, tolerates extreme heat well, but not high winds. The leaves get torn, they will drop and plant will produce new ones. I keep mine sheltered. Cainito will tolerate small veg grown in the same pot but albidum won’t. Don’t have high water needs and I rarely almost never water the albidum in fall/winter. Bring indoors when temps get near 40F. Need two cainito to cross-pollinate.
