SWRancher and ofdsurfer, this is great news. I've got an 6' Alano in ground 1 yr bearing for the first time with 6 immature fruit on it. What's the age and height of your Alano trees? I hope to be enjoying some by Nov/Dec.
SWRancher do you have Alano sapodilla seeds for sale or trade? I would be interested. Thank you

I would like to know the purpose because if you are looking for seed for rootstock I may have some sapodilla seeds to share but if you are looking to grow an Alano seedling I wouldn't have any seeds to share.
what's the difference between "seed for rootstock" and " "you are looking to grow an Alano seedling ?
Rootstock is what you grow from seed to use for grafting later on. Similar to the annonas you grafted at Stephen's place, you grafted a scion from a named variety onto your rootstock. Growing a seedling tree means growing any fruit tree from seed, for the purpose of having a fruit tree later on. But that's pretty much a gamble in most seeds as for fruit production and quality. Makes sense? I sorta?

Makes sense? I sorta? crystal clearthanks Timin this case, I want to grow a seed into a tree (not for rootstock) because beggers cant' be choosers hihihi
I want some seeds, so that I can get them germinated and grow into an alona treenot sure if I made sense here
