A quick Question, Is it possible to take cuttings of this fruit? If so, How?
Thanks in advance.

Nige,

A far shot but what i do when growing from cutting is to find a young shoot that has young side off shoots, cut it but ensure it has at least one big leaf and break off any off shoots but keep that big leaf.

at the bottom where the side off shoot was just below it cut the tip at an angle, dip in hormone root powder and put in compressed compost. over a month hopefully it shouldn't die but after 2 months if you see the young shoots at the top growing a little cut the big leaf off and hopefully the young shoot at the top should grow leaves and get bigger.

my only reason for the big leaf is that it needs the sunlight for food and energy which helps the top shoots to grow. once young shoots grow leaves then cutting the big leaf off encourages it the grow the leaves more to make its food.

using this technique i have so far grown 3 plants from cuttings.

hope it helps  :)
PG
