A Lemon Gold maybe Markmelb? I have one here and it tastes like that...I love it.
It's fallen out of favour though I suspect - as the fruit is smaller and it can be a patchy bearer?
It's a great x-pollinator though.
I can eat the skin on ours also...it's fine.
It blows me away at how differently this same variety has grown between where we lived 600km north, and here....
It's a very lush tree in this cooler and wetter climate....it requires savage pruning every second year - yet in the hotter, windier and saltier climate up north - it stayed way more stunted...but it produced just as much fruit - if not more?
I suspect that spoiling these trees too much is perhaps not a good idea/plan...

Elaine - your "Sapote" could be a Canistel or eggfruit which is a bit cheesecake like or eggy texture - Sapote name thru South America means Fruit for them :)
