Propagation of tropical fruit

[Yam55Ing]

Hello
I would like to know
if this propagation as cuttings.

jackfruit, guava, mangosteen, Sapodilla

The above four kinds of fruit, Possible only propagated from seeds?
Or, cuttings are available?

None of those are easy to propagate from cuttings. May be possible though using special mist propagation box and rooting hormones and long wait.

Thanks for letting me know.
If it is easy to propagate by cutting, I wanted to try a challenge it
but I have to give up.

Tropical guava are routinely propagated by root suckers and this is the preferred method to keep varieties true.Root suckered is encouraged by spading around trees to damage roots.Trunk suckered below ground are harder to detach.

I have successfully grown two "clones" of my favorite guava tree this way.  They both took a long time to develop and went into shock after being removed.  They have recovered, but it wasn't a very easy process.

Someone also mentioned guavas can be propagated from cuttings of new year's growth (cut where green, just before the branch turns brown).  That would save a LOT of time if it works.  Haven't had an opportunity to try it.

Guavas are easily propoagated by airlayers here in Mexico

Air laying is the best for guava. You can air laying up to 1" diameter branch.  Easy to roots in 3-to 6 months.
Fruit of the new tree is identical to the parent tree and has fruits right away.

If so, What is the thickness of the cuttings ways to use?

[nana7b]

Air layering is pretty easy. Takes about 2 months in the spring and summer or when the tree is actively growing.
About the thickness of a pencil works well.

I've seen Guava Air Layers of 1 inch wide, and 2 feet long, that in the picture is just a baby! The larger the sooner will fruit

Guava.
3/4" or 1" diameter, 4' or 5' long.  I am air-laying  on December or spring and keep on tree until I harvesting the guavas, usually October or November. Then I cut the air-laying branch, trim to the shape tree that I want. I put the air-laying branch ( roots) in water for 6 to 12 hours, then re-pot them in 5 gallon pot.  Winter time the tree will not loose a lot of water, more change to survive.  The air-laying tree will grow a lot of new shoots.  You will have fruits next season. Good luck.
Pencil size will take a long time to establish and to have fruits.
