I have heard not a lot. Which is discouraging, since I have found them harder to graft with traditional techniques. I will keep experimenting grafting techniques till I find what works.

The rootstock caliper is much wider than the grafted scion and it's ~3 years old and has been in the ground about 8 months and has not grown a bit. I have a bunch of Makok seedlings that I'm going to experiment with.
Thankyou to the one person who actually even attempted to answer my question. The rest of you need to learn how to not derail threads.
They are very true from seed in the sense that if you plant a sapodilla seed you are more likely to get a sapodilla than an anaconda.On the other hand. seedlings often suck. A good number seem to never set fruit at all. A small percentage will be similar. If you have the space and time, have a crack as they are tough, but I wouldn't have high hopes for a seedling sapo. There are quite a few in the BG that look to be 20yo and never seem to flower or fruit.Prices for grafted trees have skyrocketed in the past 3 years here.
