I've had some luck getting Acerola from cuttings but tented the cuttings and had them in full shade a log time. Probably less than 50% success. Agree with Peanut Butter Fruit, seeds are large, have a lot of energy. They respond very well to tipping and every time the shoots grow 3-4 leaf pairs I tip them and get 2 branches. These bear on branch tips so you don't want a tall tree but the most multi-branched compact shrub you can get.
