Common names: che, mandarin melon berry

Don’t know if this will grow in Phoenix, and I don’t know if I want to try.

Propagation

Cuttings

It is possible to root cuttings but the roots tend to sucker a lot and the suckers are very thorny creating a dense thicket. Grafting on osage orange rootstock prevents the suckering.

Grafting

Graft compatible with osage orange which is the recommended rootstock to prevent suckering.
