Beautiful! The red stems and peduncles in that last picture especially. Is that the same plant? The other pictures don't show that feature. Thanks for the info on the parentage.

It looks like CORTG to me too. I've seen brown pubescence on some new leaves. Is the trunk peeling green? Here's one CORTG compared to the leaf of a smaller-leafed CORTG:

Coronata?

Now that you mention it I did think it was odd one from eBay came with that white nursery tag around the trunk. It looks like it's flowering below the possible graft union? I'm reading it's often grafted on mamey. 12 years, 7-8 years, and 4-12 years to fruit reported from different sources, but similar ranges given for mamey. You should be able to tell by the flowers if it's green or mamey.

I'm in Walnut Creek. Here's my one and only P. viridis. Very grateful to the collector who hooked me up with it, whose anonymity I will respect. From my limited experience it does not seem as cold-hardy as some reports make it out, but it might be more so if it were more hardened to my climate. I prefer to start from seed when possible. The leaves had some damage at around 30 degrees IIRC, and I took it inside for fear of losing it. My two lucuma from the same collector seem a bit more cold-tolerant; I left one outside all winter up against the house under the roof overhang. I'm not sure if I should wait for the P. viridis to flush new leaves before repotting. Since it's my only one I gotta be careful.

Sorry to hear that Mark. Goes to show how hard zone pushing in a heated greenhouse is, even for an old pro like you. Looking forward to see what you do next.

Oh there are some selections of V. ovatum. No idea if they're any better. https://onegreenworld.com/product-category/berries/huckleberry/

I have three V. ovatum in my yard from two sources. Of the four I planted one died, but the others have been looking good for a couple years now, growing fairly slowly. I had some flowers but I don't think the fruit made it to maturity. The ones in more shade do better. All came in 1 gallon pots.

My blueberries just put out such an overwhelming amount of flowers and berries that improving V. ovatum doesn't seem like a worthwhile pursuit. Introducing some ovatum genes into blueberries could be neat. I wouldn't be surprised if some blueberries have some ovatum in their parentage.

Kevin's photos are always great. I don't know what you're talking about.

This Psidium has somewhat similar leaves. http://www.e-jardim.com/produto_completo.asp?IDProduto=673

Right but the fruit is much rounder, this one looks like the the fruit and flowers are psidium, leaves look like syzygium, so confusing to me

Yes I know the fruit doesn't quite match, and I know the leaves are unusual for Psidium. That's why I posted a Psidium with similar leaves. The Psidium says it's P. guajava but that could be wrong. It says it's from the Dominican Republic, so maybe Geeth's a related Caribbean Psidium species. The one on e-jardim could be a cross of that species with P. guajava.

Good luck. It would be nice to have reliable reference pictures. I have pictures of many on your list but few are my own pictures, and those are of small plants without 100% certainty of ID. You could try reaching out to some of the collectors in Brazil, bananasraras or e-jardim. A few people on here have sizeable collections. Plinia spirito-santensis is considered different from Grimal. It looks like colecionandofrutas considers M. trunciflora to be P. peruviana now?

Maybe something in Marlierea?

Some Garcinia?
