Yeah I just got one from them and it arrived in great shape
Not sure, you may have to ask them. I would guess mamey or green sapote as rootstock but only a guess. If you find out please let me know
Yeah you definitely Want green on green or green seedlings. I know Papaya tree nursery very occasionally has Grafted green on green. Well worth the drive. Alex does an amazing job with all of his plants, but they are on the higher end of the price spectrum. With the cost of seedlings people are charging these days it makes it even more worth it.

It’s dead now. I was growing it in 9b corona California. Never again will I get green on mamey. I can’t imagine growing mamey in northern Cali. Greens on the other hand, are growing in full sun in ground, and look pretty decent and went in ground as small seedlings.
I have planted about 20 greens and a grafted green on green, they loveeee it at my orchard (Zone 9b, Santa Cruz). I planted a small 1g seedling in the ground before winter and it had no issues.
Pouteria_fan, I may be selling my seedling green sapote at the end of the year if it doesn't fruit. I had the seedling tree in ground for over 7yrs, grows well but not to tall and only one main trunk straight up (7-8 ft tall). If I don't graft a named variety on this tree then I will probably dig it up and sell it. Probably didn't help that I planted it under my large Lychee tree and also in the shade.Here's a few photos.

I got three green sapote seedlings that sprouted this Spring and I am planning to put them in ground probably by end of summer. I guess I will put my grafted green Sapote on Mamey that I just ordered from Lara farms in a pot.
