How is the taste of the caipirinha?

It's similar to a sabara. The tree is dwarf and gets wider than it does tall. It's got a lot of potential as a bonsai, but I think it's a real pretty tree/shrub.

I'm always picking away at my plants honestly, I love pruning and shaping them. I will generally start pruning them around the 5g size. I LOVE finding a totally untouched specimen like that jabo, which was in a 25g, and dressing it down like I did in the photo.

I have differing opinion, I guess. I generally prune them for shaping once they get to around 3 feet tall. I like to open up the canopy and widen the tree and make sure there will be no crossing wood long term. I have a very large sabara that I got from someone else, and there are two 1" thick branches that are going to be touching this year. I wish I'd been more on top of pruning it as soon as I got it. It feels too late now. Hoping they'll fuse together.

Here is the size and prune job on an install I did for a client.




I pretty much do the same thing, though I have been pruning my young trees in half gallon pots to promote a specific shape early on and I get rid of any suckers so it keeps energy going to the parts of the plant I want it to.

I will echo that Marco's Argentinian species are more cold hardy than my other jabos, and flush out earlier, but again, I do not believe these to be revolutionary results. At best you're going to get +5f more temperature resistance is my guess.

You have folks like NissanVersa saying they lost massive mature jabos to 17f. So say you somehow had a lujan or campo with a 6" trunk - you'd lose it at 12f. You now mention you go below zero.

Sorry, but I think this is a rather foolish exercise and I don't get it. My jabos really suffer in 9b already.

Thanks again for the harsh reality check, K-Rimes! 😢

Yes, I figured that much from my web search. Just don't know many people who grow it, or have tasted it

It's been about 3 weeks and I'd been using a kelp based foliar spray. I recently picked up Southern AG foliar spray for citrus/avo/mango and had been meaning to try that but it's been so hot I didn't get to give it a go yet.

I was working with a source to import these, but it fell through.
Small tree and small fruits.
