Luc, I don't have any, unfortunately, but I am curious what you plan to do.  Is E. florida hardier or more vigorous and you'd like to use it as rootstock for something else?  (And why E. florida rather than other Eugenias?)

Barath and all , I have this great tasting E. florida that is now shaded by other trees and does not produce anymore probably due to lack of sun , so I want to graft it ...

If they are at all like grumichama, then you can propagate from leaves (they root from in-tact petioles). Probably from cutting then as well.

Just wondering why you cant transplant the tree. If it is the one being shaded, then I assume it is smaller than the other trees. Borrow a bulldozer.  8)

Eugenia luschnathiana = CURUIRI.    Talisia esculenta = PITOMBA
I do not recommend people deal with Fruit Lovers, Prisca Mariya or Fernando Malpartida
