The fruit with the handsome paw is indeed the real deal.....Alva.

sure Mike your paw is the real deal !
So please tell me would this be Alva or DPI GOLD ?

Used too try mangos !even if they aren't sour ,the sweetness will increase !I can't even eat my mangos without it ,is like adding 5% more Brix to them

How long did it take to flower from seed?

around 4 years

BTW DPI Gold on the mother tree are larger fruit than that in the pic

hey Mike I remembered I receive both seeds from you both I recall alva never sprouted ,so double thinking
Probably I mixed up the seeds without noticing or misslabel them , looking at today fruits probably you are  right and unless they will change color for sure they are Alva, I'm really satisfied with the excellent flavor they have ,eventually do I tried several different Caimito before any were as sweet and complex in flavor ,thanks alot for sharing this valuable variety amigo !😀😀😀

A few years ago I received seeds from Mike T of an Australian Caimito selection from an Australian government agricultural center called DPI ,  I approach grafted to the stump of a regular Caimito that I cut down to take advantage of the adult roots in order to provide more vigor to the DPI Gold seedling ,well this year flowered for first time and to my surprise hold many fruits , in the picture of Mike they have a Copper/pink color and relatively large size , I noticed this morning a couple have change color from regular green into a kind of different green but the difference was noticeable , I touch one and was very soft so I decided to give it a try even if hasn't the gold /copper color in the Mike T pictures , I opened with a knife and share half with my wife who minutes before was getting ready to snack on a carrots cake , upon opening the fruit I noticed very few látex who look very watery and diluted ,I touched with myself lips and didn't noticed the regular sticky lips , when trying the flesh I was really surprised of how sweet it was ! I had tried several different Caimito before but they were just OK with a mild flavor , this DPI Gold was super soft flesh ,not firm at all kinds of fluffy and juicy , the flavor was of diluted condensated milk with honey ,I found a late notes of sweet Soursop , this fruit had 0% acidity , it was a real surprise to me ,this sweetness in Caimito , the skin is very soft and tin after eating the fruit , I'm going to wait more days before I cut another to see if the color change like the ones Mike post here in the forum , I'm grateful with Mike T for sharing the seeds of this delicious fruit with me .as a side note my wife after eating one Caimito decided to decline the carrot cake for later 🤣🤣

 sure ,thanks !😀

I have San Pablo seedling, Strawberries and Cream and
Spicy reticulata, they are top quality, I have been selling seeds of the them for years here in the forum, the season is in late April please contact me then or look for my post in the buy and trade section 😀😀😀

I have a small Lucs in the ground 4 years or so.  It is just below 3 feet tall and is holding its first fruit.

It is a small tree (old, enough to hold fruit, but really small)  and I am surprised it is flowering and holding fruit.  I have others, that are larger and planted about the same time but not doing much right now.

I will post a picture later.

nice, sometimes they can start flowering just at a meter tall, I remember one in Luc's house flowered like crazy, I guess yours is a seedling?

Cyrtocarpa procera?

yes, still available
