- Mammea americana, commonly known as mammee, mammee apple, mamey, mamey apple, Santo Domingo apricot, tropical apricot, or South American apricot, is an evergreen tree of the family Calophyllaceae, whose fruit is edible. It has also been classified as belonging to the family Guttiferae Juss. (1789), which would make it a relative of the mangosteen.[2]
In certain Latin American countries, Mammea americana is referred to as "yellow mamey" (Spanish: mamey amarillo) to distinguish it from the unrelated but similar-looking Pouteria sapota, whose fruit is usually called "red mamey" (mamey colorado or mamey rojo).

Hi Paul, I want to thank you for sharing Lara farms, I am so thankful and grateful for Lara farms nursery business. I bought Cochin Jackfruit and Ronnie avocado thanks to you. You showed the video with Julian and I was impressed, so impressed that I thanked Julian on his Facebook page. How my plants were packaged and arrived beautiful. Thank you Paul for introducing the nurseries from Florida and the different kinds of fruits. I am in California and I appreciate learning fruits I didn't even know about. Once again thank you Paul.
Thank you for letting me know what you got and I hope they grow well for you.
In St lucia we call it Zabrico (creole)
There is one of these at the college i work at and it is one of the biggest trees I’ve ever seen. They fall over the ground theres so many fruits on it
Hi Paul I'm from Trinidad and that's the Mame I know.We call it mammee sipote (it's not pronounced seepotay). When it's ripe it falls off the tree.Right now it's in season.Love it.Great for making jam.
Hola! Salvadoran native here, but raised in Californians and I LOOOVE-LOOOVE THAT variety of mamey! I miss it so much and I remember the taste, smell, and chewiness of that fruit. I will probably never return to El Salvador because of the "mandates" so I'm glad to see it can grow in the U.S.
This makes me want to move to Florida! If I do, I need to know if there is a Torah observant Christian fellowship.
Shalom!❤️❤️❤️
Shalom Yes there is good fellowship here.
Yes we got this herecin the Caribbean. I greetings up eating those beautiful fruit. Just had one❤❤❤❤😂😂
I grew up eating mamey apples ❤❤😂
I just planted two of these this past week. Seedlings came from Mounts Botanical garden, a friend propagated them. I was told the fruit drops on the ground there.
Did you plant them directly in soil? I have some seeds but not sure if I should crack it open like a Mamey Sapote or what… any tips would be appreciated! :)
@@MelDormoy Hi, did your seeds happen to sprout? I have a similar question to yours and don't want to lose the seeds. Let me know if you had any success please and how you planted the seeds. Thanks
@@Sebaballer They absolutely did! I started with 24 seeds and ALL of them but two sprouted. I used the wet paper towel method for most of them and almost all of those spouted and then a few I direct planted. They took longer and I’m still waiting for one. The best method was wet paper towel under a dark towel to keep the light out and keep in a warm location. :) oh and I did try to pull back some of the hard covering on most but sometimes I just couldn’t get it, it wasn’t easy. They still sprouted tho.
@@MelDormoy Thanks much; I originally had mine in damp paper towel in a ziplock but after a few weeks and nothing, I moved them to soil. I even cut the husk off of one of the seeds. I will check them tomorrow and see what is happening and if it makes sense to move them back to the paper towel. Do you recall approximately how long your seeds took to sprout? Mine are going on 9 weeks now and nothing above ground yet. Thanks so much.
@@Sebaballer I can’t recall how long but it was quite a while. I heard once with these tropical tree sprouting a you have to “ set it and forget it” and that’s what I do… they teach us patience. Lol I am
Just sprouting some white Sapote now with the same method and it’s been about two week… I checked yesterday and already saw one sprouting. I just let them do their thing, keep them warm and humid and it’ll work out.
Looks so delicious 🤤
In Barbados we call it mammee apple.
I live in Miami I actually just called you on the phone. I’m trying to come down there and get one of the plan, but when do you actually have the fruit thank you and we purchased a fruit.
Is this a self pollinating tree or do you need another one nearby?
not sure ask lara farms Miami he will know
What can you say about mammea americana the seed planting what conditions and soil? any tips?
contact Julian and Lara farms. He has the best answers for that
How you plane the seed?
I'm seeing conflicting information online about this species and cold tolerance. I'm in USDA zone 10a and only 3 miles in from the Gulf Of Mexico . I know some tropical trees during an unusually cold Florida winter may die back but resprout, even if only from the ground ( hence why I prefer fruits that are good without grafting). But there's just not much information for this species it seems. It actually looks like it could take a very light frost but I guess only because it looks like it has very tough leathery leaves and thick bark.
I’m in 10A as well. I like to experiment and push limits so I’m growing these and we shall see. Never really hurts to try and plus, it’s just fun to grow things. :)
@@MelDormoy , I disagree because it hurts me and my wallet when the tree freezes to death. Lol I would try to grow it from seed but I read that seed grown ones sometimes only produce male flowers or only female so will never fruit. A grafted one from a selected hermaphrodite variety with good fruit quality and some chill tolerance would be the only way to go for me but they’re hard to come by and a bit pricey.
@@MelDormoy , did you grow yours from seed? What has been your experience? I’m now thinking I might try from seed if I could buy a whole box of the fruit somewhere and plant all the seeds. I would not want to try with just a couple of seeds.
@@jolus6678 I did grow them from seed. I bought from a great seller off Etsy. He sells them 10 at a time and he threw in a few extra for free. It’s wasn’t cheap ( I think $10
Each approximately) but now I have lots of little trees growing so it was worth it to me and now when it gets cold, I’m just covering them or bringing them inside while they’re little.
@@MelDormoy, Do you remember the sellers name ? I’d like to follow the shop. I actually decided to buy a grafted one from Lara Farms after tasting the fruit at The fruit and Spice Park so I now have one myself. Yay! 😅
quisiera saber como germinar la semilla gracias
La semilla dura 20 años para frutar , dicen que es mejor adquirir La planta injertada ,grafted.
No disrespect to you Paul I'm a big fan, everyone beware of Lara Farms. I ordered alot of fruit trees from them but when it comes to customer service, they have none. Two times I reached out to them and had no response. First when two of my trees arrived dead and second when my order was not delivered to my address. Lara Farms you have good selections of fruit trees but fix your customer support and service.
Hey Paul you did not say if this fruit is worth planting.
depends how much room you have. it wouldn't be my first choice
