Yes it can be done and not grafted ....

I am just back from a friend's ( commercial mangosteen grower ) place in the south , here’s how he does it :

Start with a good size plumb seed.
Prepare the medium with lots of organic stuff and mix in fertilizer .
Plant the seed in long tubes 10 cm wide , 40 cm long  mangosteen has a long taproot



Prepare the planting holes in advance with lots of organic material .
Once in the ground , fertilize frequently and water a lot .

Of course he has incredible good volcanic soil , constant humidity , lots of rain and temperatures that do not vary a lot , constant almost year round .

I know nothing about figs , have only one tree that is doing very well in my climate ( comparable to South Florida )

I am under very heavy pressure from my wife , she treathens to cut down some of my rare stuff if I don’t plant more figs .....LOL...so lets hear from you .

Called CAPULIN by locals .... not the Capulin I am familiar with . Used for eating out of hand , for marmalades and wine .....

I finally found the way to make my tree fruit ....

I have been whining and whining about this since I joined the TFF......it worked , no need to girdle or beat them with a bat etc.....just whine ..
I have been telling this tree “ Look at your buddy next to you ( a Jab. precoce ) 4th time flowering so far this year , and you ....nothing “

Well , it worked ...first flowers yesterday .

A friend here in Mexico who has thousands of fruiting ( now ) Bolivian Achachairu asked me if I could help to find a market .

In my case , when I started hearing about the Y2K in the beginning of the nineties , remember , computers were gonna crash and distribution of food may have become a problem for obvious reasons , I decided they’re not gonna get me I’ll start growing my own . Citrus , mango , papaya , avocados , sapotes , annonas etc are plentiful here and cheap so I wanted something other people didn’t have .
In those days I had a good paying real job so since I couldn’t find anything here I started to travel anytime I could get away to tropical places all over and filled my pockets with seed . Soon it became an obsession !!!! I wanted to grow them all ....and bought more land....
I started with Eugenia uniflora and have been selecting these , to end up with some great ones . Then came the Artocarpus , Garcinias , all the other Myrtaceae’s ...and again I had to buy more land ( did this 4 times , now I cannot ad anymore unless I buy someplace else )
My wife started to complain that all the vacations were fruit related , so I had to be more subtle in picking the next....( great shopping in Kuala Lumpur , she liked that ....) Then she wanted to see colors , so just to be a nice guy I started with Heliconias ...this is eating up 1/4 of my available planting area , but I must say it brings me more $$ than the fruits .
I have a sign in my office that says : NO MORE SEEDS .
I break my rules all the time .....

Looking forward to read your story .

There will be about 50 seeds available in a week or 2 . Some of the fruits are starting to turn red now .
My favorite ( taste wise ) Anacardium  , dwarf plant .

Here’s a old picture .

Please tell me YES , in that case I finally managed to to germinate some after so many failures ...

Looking for the Mex . Garcinia I ran into this today , any idea ...fruitsize is like a big miracle fruit
