The spineless ones shrivel during the winter and resemble humifusa otherwise so they're not cacanapa. The large fruited humifusa shrivel too. Inducing chimeras sounds like a fun project but I wonder what'll happen if ficus indica doesn't shrivel?

I don't really think cacanapa would be good for my zone, but I'm open to send a few pads of the large fruited one your way.

Sorry for not getting back I was too overwhelmed with trades and grafting new things I think I'm all set for this season on any more plants.

Some good news the grafted cacanapa is budding out so flowers soon. My humifusa is also going to flower so I'll definitely pollinate the cacanapa with it.
