looks like in the sapodilla family.

take a leaf off does it have milk?

well not duguetia but rare seeds in the annona family are hard to germinate. some of them are ez(soursop,sweetsop,custard apple,cherimoya) you know the popular ones. i think that because there are annona species from dry climate that store for a longer time and need a dry season such as ilama then if we sow these they rot but others from more humid climate you need to sow them fast so that is why it's so difficult. shops will store them probably for too long and because they're expensive like most of them are 5-10 per seed you only get 1 or 2 seeds per species and boom. you spend hundreds of bucks like me and only get a few ones. for other stuff you spend 2-3 bucks and probably germinate something.

duguetia i have d.lanceolata, d.stenantha and d.moricandiana

ilama i have a guillermo seedling and a genova red seedling(dying)..but i got a bunch of seeds that i got from raul, anderson tropicals and ebay. will see what germinates.

i am also interested in quality "classic" varieties such as(the ones i could find names)

guillermo
genova red
genova white
pajapita
Fairchild
Rosendo Pérez
Gramajo

for duguetias i have like 3 seedlings but it was very hard to find duguetia/annona seeds from the internet that actually germinate. i would say 10% of the seeds i bought online did germinate. maybe a scion exchange in the future?

i thought it was cedar bay cherry as well

Yes the taste was really good...

After speaking with a mango grower and i told him the story but he told me hey they are probably overgrown kent or keitts because the tree is so old that it only had a few fruits so all the energy went to those. next batch after a few months(not sure if it was same tree) but the fruits my brother brought home were just average/large. the seed never made it either so that was an uninspiring end to the story.

thanks kevin, they are still green inside.

now i need to try to graft or root these.

A dioecious species, both male and female forms usually need to be grown if fruit and seed are required[336
]. At least some dioecious Garcinia species, however, are able to produce fertile seed even in the absence of fertilization (asexual reproduction). Such seeds would be expected to be genetically identical to the parent[1798
]

sacha inchi is very easy to germinate and fast to fruit.

mamey sapote(pouteria)=fresh seeds germinate with no problems in anything, no problem.
if the seeds are shipped then you can crack the harder shell open without destroying the seeds. if doesn't smell good
try with some fungicide.

mamey americana L=just put in larger pots with garden soil and forget.

got a seed from shilotech back in may. Herrania umbratica

Yes!  I want one too... along with a Malpighia yucatanaea.

We can group order a tree from Mexico and someone plants it in USA and later sends seeds/cuttings to the rest of the buyers. That person gets to keep the plant.

As for M.Yucatanea i have a seedling from tradewinds.
