Can lucoma be propagated by cuttings? Look at the first and last picture on the side. It's the same plant picture, just a close up of the flowers or are they flowers? Is that a moist or dry looking fruit variety?http://www.amazon.com/L%C3%BAcuma-Pouteria-Lucuma-Eggfruit-Plant/dp/B009ZII44M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382206115&sr=8-1&keywords=lucuma+plant

You have it don't you? You have a good experience with lucuma?Yes, I currently have two grafted trees. I don't know the first cultivar. The second one is La Molina #4. I have not tasted the last one, but I have very good references about the eating quality. BTW, La Molina is the public research station in Lima, Peru.Both trees are doing fine, but I think they would prefer a little cooler climate. They suffer some stress in summer.

In the last video they plant the lucuma orchad by planting cuttings on the grownd! There are the dry var. lucuma de palo and the moist var. lucuma de seda.
Lucky you! Do you know the difference between Molina #4 and Molina #1? It would be interesting to know.Tomas

Hi Jack! Do you know if they fruit with only one tree? Congratulations! Hey Luis, Thanks...I reckon another tree not needed, as I have seen a single tree heavy with fruit...but, my tree has been flowering for several years now, though not a single fruit has been produced...maybe, a lack of pollination.

Usually lucuma is self fertile, same as all sapotacea I know of.
Steven, my older lucuma grafted lucuma (unknown cultivar) does produce. The younger one (La Molina #4) has flowered not not produces yet.
Is the general consensus that the more dey types posses the more highland genes and consequently have more cold hardiness?Anyone able to sell trade or point me in the right direction seeds from higher altitude varieties?
