Anyone have seedlings or seeds of this? Dovyalis abyssinica or Dovyalis hebecarpa or it's hybrid? Let me know!
Thanks! DG

I didn't realize these could be grown from cuttings. Do they root easily? Thanks

Air layer and Cuttings are the typical propagation for this. I do not know the % of success rate but it is probably similar to something like mulberry.
