Awesome. Let us know how the fruit develops. I always looked at Ross as another canistel variety.
Has to be grafted Raul !!! I hate these guys who can just go to a nursery and buy a grafted plant that will fruit in 1 2 3... LOL....no offense guys , I am just jealous ....we here in Mexico have to start everything from seed and wait xxxxx years . Fortunately the next generation of Mexican Rare Fruit Fanatics will benefit from out efforts .
Nice tree CGameP.-hope you get fruit to taste! That's interesting Oscar, that it's unknown species, how true do the seeds come to parent?[/quotef]Fairly true, but there is some variation.
It may be a hybrid but my experience here is its less hardy than my lucuma moist and dry races, campechina, eerwah, australis , viridis, macrophylla, macrocarpa, slightly less hardy than multiflora but more hardy than my caimito, guinanensis and maybe on par with torta sp glabra.

Will definitely be delicious. Might be some variation in size, shape, and productivity.
After 7 months, the first fruit finally ripened! There are four more that are almost ripe but are still green. The first one was one of the smallest but was good nevertheless! It has the cheesecake texture and taste similar to Bruce canistel (the only other pouteria I've eaten) with perhaps a hint of nutmeg. Pretty good!
