[sc4001992]

I got some fresh branch cuttings from a friend's tree that is large, maybe 25 ft tall, it has been fruiting yearly. The fruits on this lucuma tree is the moist type (lucuma de seda) so it is one of the best for eating out of hand, just like the large tree at the arboretum that I posted fruit photos before.

I gave this friend the fruit to try of the lucuma de seda and he said his fruit is just like that one, taste the same.

You can see the flowers on them now. Fruits on this tree is very similar to the one in the arboretum, Lucuma De Seda.

I did have a question for anyone who was able to root the lucuma cuttings.

If you had success, can you tell me how difficult it was, and about what your success rate was for cuttings you tried to root. I plan to root all the left over cuttings that don't sell this weekend and want to know if it is easy to root or difficult like a guava cutting.

When I go back to see the Sylvia tree to do more air layers, I may get some cuttings for people if anyone is having success rooting them.

Lucuma cuttings are being rooted?!

How long does it take for the rooted cutting to show any signs of new buds?

I got a few Sylvia guava cuttings to root now. You just need to have a fat cutting and it may root, low % of them, but it works.
Also got air layers growing now so I'm set.

Lucuma seeds are easy to germinate when fresh, maybe in 4 wks it shows tap roots. I got a team of seedling growing now.
