Hello Posci35,
Do you think this species will thrive in Thailand?
I have 4 adult trees of this species here in southeastern Brazil and they flourish just for five years and do not make fruit, I talked to other collectors here and I do not think anyone has even fruited it here in the tropical climate, because it is a tree of the Andes, Altitude and cold winters and drier climate, a region quite different from the ones we are accustomed to growing.
Grapebush sent me cuts of his lucumas so I could graft my trees, but I decided to graft in abiu and mamey sapote seedlings, maybe this will help the plant to become tropical, I'm waiting for the result of the grafting, and hoping that my Idea of right!
To this day I only knew of Lucumas fruiting in places of altitude and with colder winter.
