Answer:
The seeds of L. parasiticum are polyembryonic, the multiple embryos resulting from apomixis.[11]
Lansium parasiticum is traditionally reproduced by spreading seedlings, either cultivated or collected from below the tree.[12] It has been said that new seedlings require 20 to 25 years to bear fruit, with the possibility of the quality being inferior.[12][13] However other sources quote 12 years to first production from seed and no variations. Production often varies from year to year, and depends to some extent on having a dry period to induce flowering. One example of ten trees in Costa Rica about twenty-five years old produced during five years the following weights of salable fruits: 2008: 50 kilos, 2009: 2000 kilos, 2010: 1000 kilos, 2011: 100 kilos, 2012: 1500 kilos. Experiments in the Philippines with grafting where two trees are planted close to each other and then grafted when one to two meters tall to leave twin root systems on a single main trunk have resulted in earlier and less erratic fruit production.
