I'm trying to root some from cuttings now. No idea how hard that is. I'll try with the one fruit I haven't eaten. Good luck with seeds.
As for my experience take a piece of ROOT and plant it shallow horizontally so that one side will be exposed to the light, it will grow in a new tree

I can't agree more with the posts regarding keeping this tree away from others if you plan to put it in the ground. They grow extremely quickly and aggressively. They do fruit well and in abundance, but I find I lose a lot to the squirrels and birds. I have two planted in close proximity to one another and I'm definitely removing 1 after only two years in the ground, maybe both. They're both already over 25 feet tall. They were about 5 feet tall when planted.
i treid 2 air-layers , and several cuttings all failedall my seeds failed as well.i tried 2 root-cuttings and both succeeded.unfortuneatly i had given them away then my tree was 20ft tallwe had temps of 26F a few weeks ago, and eithe rthe tree is deador, its taking its time coming back.there is a little green under the bark near the roots, but ALL of the branches and everything over 2ft highis brown under the bark.not sure why i never got seeds to take, there are hundereds of seeds in each fruit.but not 1 seedling even under the tree.i love the flavor though.my dog even eats the lower hanging fruit.eveyone that comes to my house has a couple to taste and loves them.

I'm pretty surprised you didn't have any success with airlayering. Every single time mine have rooted within a couple wks at the most. This is a very easy tree to layer in my experience. What is your method?
