I'm only aware of one monoecious Dovyalis, and that's Dovyalis abyssinica x hebecarpa ("Prodigal").  It's also super-high yielding, too.  Just be aware that they're quite sour!

i bought one last year from Mygardenofdelights
(Murray Corman)
i had the same question.
he told me the one he sells fruits by itself.
i am pretty sure they start easy from cuttings,

mine not large enough to fruit yet
and it lost its leaves in winter, but its sprouting back already.

According to Popenoe there should be 1 male for every 20 or 30 females.
However, certain female trees have borne profusely in the absence of male pollinators.
