When my plants get bigger I'll also be selling cuttings. 

Yeah, these things have no real cold tolerance. 

Does anyone know what size they tend to fruit at?

Again, I'll stress how fast these things grow. In a tote/tub with other plants (e.g. eugenias and plinias and annonas etc) in tree pots this thing puts out roots so fast that it began aggressively invading some neighboring pots in their dirt through the side holes over the winter indoors where everything else barely got roots to the bottoms of theirs.

I have 2 mature nauclea latifolia trees. They have handled mid 30s for brief nights numberous times the last 7 years. The strain I grew from seeds originally from a market in Ghana.

Yeah, but IIRC on my end the leaves ended up looking really gnarly approaching those much cooler temps.  I can't recall how cold I let mine get.

But how big did your tree get when it started producing fruit?

I have three seedlings of N. latifolia.  Somewhere on this forum it is written they don't root from cuttings, but I had one cutting root quickly (but die, I am terrible with cuttings!). 

They grow FAST with big roots. TOUGH plants.  I have them in about 5 gal containers now.  Be prepared to repot these sooner rather than later.  But don't believe there is tramadol in the roots, that came from cattle urine in the soil.

I have hope these can be made to fruit at a manageable size in a container.

Nauclea latifolia, African peach grows from cuttings as well. Have 2 mature trees that fruit.

yup...damn who was it on big island is propagating a bunch via airlayers on big island. i have had a chance to eat a few of these myself. these are EXCELLENT Fruit.

I thought Ispahan was supposed to have a wider flowering window. If this one does not have the production level worthy of growing, then Kazanlik might be even worse. Do you suppose an Autumn Damask variety is better in this regard?

Oh man! How fragrant were the flowers? Do you have the Ispahan Damask rose?

I had it, ended up tearing it out. Low production of flowers only in spring, excessive thorns, super vigorous. I have to double check the variety.

Was ispahan variety just checked my emails. The rose had a nice fragrance but with the limited production and thorns I found it not worth the space for me.

When looking to pull the trigger on purchasing a new Eugenia/Myrciaria plant or seeds, what criteria are you setting? 
More popular fruit selections with a ton of reviews makes the buying decision easier. With literally 1000s of Eugenia and Myrciaria to collect, what qualifies as a must purchase?

Thanks all for your orders, want to ask for your patience, my elderly mom is very ill in the hospital since last week, doctor said is few hope and any day this week she probably go to rest, she is three hours driving from my place, I'm staying with her this last days, so probably I'll start shipping orders again late this week and continue on Monday again through the next week when I trust to fulfill all orders thanks for your patience.
Morir soñando are definitely gone, Mango i believe i can get more seeds as there was still fruit on the tree in the jungle but I'll let you know next week when I have to chance to go and pick them, thanks for your patience.
