Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pouteria lucuma
« Last post by Reedo on Today at 11:31:43 PM »I went to a CRFG member's house to pick up my Marcus Pumpkin cuttings and he has 3 large lucuma trees. At least one had fruits, the trees are tall (over 20 ft) so its hard to see what the fruits look like. Maybe when I go back there I will get up on the 10ft ladder and try to get a photo of the fruit to show.
Anyone know how easy it is to graft the tree to a seedling?
I might go over to Alex's place and get a scion wood from him if he has the moist variety that you guys like. If you know which variety is the best tasting let me know and I might check with Alex. I'm not really into lucuma, just checking for Aastair really.
The person who lives here in Fullerton said I can take a few cuttings since we are trading right now.
When I looked up and saw his fruit on this large tree, it seemed to be the pointy tip fruit. Like the first one in the photo above, not the SD fruit.
They seem pretty easy to graft. Maybe similar to citrus or avocado. I had 3/3 succeed a couple years ago in my passive greenhouse. I haven't grafted any in ground yet. Nate at Wildlands did a bunch last year, so he might have better info.
