Sergio, at first I very doubtful whether to prune them or not, but as you can see on the pictures, it worked out. I first pruned the tip when the seedling was close to 3 ft high. Month later, my brother cut again the tips. ..

Yes, yours looks very nicely formed.
I think we got the seeds from Oscar at the same time.

A friend of mine (maybe he's lurking here???) has one of those seedlings
planted outside that is doing great and looks more like yours.

I think I will use some of the taller branches of mine on some grafting experiments using
lucuma as rootstock...

That's a good idea :)
