Hi everyone.

There's awile that I'm trying to properly identify this species of Pouteria, but at each research I got more doubts... Does anyone knows this one?





Thank you in advance!

The flowers remind me of pouteria sebertii, but the fruit look more like Pouteria macrophylla. Search the forum for them. There are some good pics.

Thank you for your answer!
It was identified as P. sebertii, but searching in Google the fruit of sebertii, seemed to be much smaller than these ones (these ones had about 8 to 10cm, long and 5 to 6 across), however as you said, the flowers really look like the same.

I thought it was just a lucuma

Lucuma, definitly not! The tree foliage is very diferente as well as the bark, and the wood is much harder than Lucuma! Also the taste is miles away from Lucuma, and the flesh of the fruit is of a light yellow colour instead of intense yellow/Orange in the Lucuma.

Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Sorry for taking so long to answer, but I spent these last days and nights in a healt center, were my wife, comes from delivering my second son, so had no time to do nothing else, but giving attention to both.

About foliage pictures I can do it, but not sure when I will have time to pass by the tree, and shot some pics. Anyway I will try to do that ASAP.

Thank you very much!

The seeds from the fruits on the image were sown about 16 months ago (yes the images are recente), and I obtained from it, 4 seedlings, that took a bit to germinate, but then had developed quite good! Those ones are at my parents place, as I have much more space there, than in my appartment, but next time I visit them I will take some pics.
The biggest one is about 70cm high. I found, in the same conditions, it develops faster than P. Lucuma, and P. Campechiana.

I'm not sure, but it seems very fruits of my P. Multiflora, but the flowers and the seed.
To confirm, need to see the leaves.

P. multiflora, was one of the options I also put at a time, but then there were some characteristics that didn't match (can't remember what were the characteristics, that were diferent...)
As said previously, ASAP I will upload phots of it's foliage.
Thank you, for your answer.

Hi everyone!
Hope everybody has had a nice Christmas time!

Yesterday I went to visit my parents, and I took some pics of the seedlings I have from this species!
I had a nice surprise, as one of the seeds that I had planted, and that had it's sprout eaten by a slug or snail, or something else, but that I decided to left in the pot anyway, has re-sprout, and now, instead of 4 seedlings as I had mentioned before, I actually have 5. The new one, is the one on the left.







With these images we can have an idea of the size of the leaves, but in adult trees they are much more darker and fuzzy! Maybe in the next week I'll be able to take some photos of an adult one.

Finaly, after almost 4 months, I had some time to revisit, the mother tree and take some pics of the foliage, and some fruits that are growing right now.
Here they are:














As you can see in the last image, the back side of the leave is somewhat fuzzy, almost kind of velvety.
