Jaboticaba or Gurimichama?
« on: February 12, 2018, 03:19:58 AM »
Hi,

Was interested in purchasing a red jaboticaba or a gurimichama, I already have one jaboticaba in the ground in SoCal. Between the two, which would you choose based off years to fruit, tree fruiting life, and taste.

Thanks!

Get escarlate jaboticaba or even red hybrid. Grumis are not as worthwhile.

Red jaboticaba is hard to beat. Fruits in 3-4 years, thin skin and once my trees started they won't
stop fruiting. I ate around 75 fruit last week and meanwhile it has a new flush of flowers. I also have
grumichama and it is wonderful to eat but so far my trees fruit once in the spring in a 2 week period?


Here is a picture of a 9 month old red jabo next to a one year old sabara. I have fresh red jabo seeds now
PM if interested
