Curious if the rose apple scions can be rooted or are they typically grafted?
I have gotten good success rooting cuttings +75% take in a peat moss perlite mix, bottom heat 75f to 80f, in a humidity dome, and dipping in clonex gel.

Better than a kwai muk,marang,pedalai or lakoocha? You bet it is.Smokey apricot,chempadak,with a hint of fruity caramel.
It is a great fruit alright, with not latex or aftertaste and can be eaten quickly.Kids love them and oddly there is little smell.Keladangs sure are a classy fruit.
Wow Brian,
Amazing you and others are growing these trees in greenhouses. I’m amazed that someone has fruited marang in a greenhouse. I’ve been completely unsuccessful in controlling their size. Kwai Muk and keledang seem much easier to manage. Many folks here successfully keep breadfruit as a small garden tree that fruits but mine is huge.
Aloha, Steph
I read study about rootstock for ornamental citruses in pot and the result was, that the best rootstock is volkameriana, especially for lemons. It gaves compact crown and intense flowering. Oscar Tintori nursery uses exclusively volkameriana for lemons and mandarins.
