Hi Adam and congratulations, can you tell us how you did the cross? which male did you use to pollinate ? how long did it take for the seed to grow and fruit? Regards Patrick
anyone ever try grafting pitangatuba and pitomba? it might be possible since they are closely related enough to hybridize?

I tried Pitomba onto CORG because the wood seems similar but doesn't seem it's going to work. I'll try pitomba onto pitangatuba this week. It just doesn't seem like a good cross to me personally cause tomba peels and tuba doesn't.
in general, the species which produce hybrid progenies, or at least hybrid seeds, can be grafted successfully onto each other. vice versa, where the interspecific grafts die off, hybridization is usually impossible. - G Addison
