Very cool!

I would like to see and have a hybrid of Myrciaria phitrantha and Myrciaria aureana, then we'd have Pink Cambuca!

a little time lapse photography of a grafted Myricaria coronata, over the course of about 2 yrs.

Wow Adam, what are you feeding those Jabo's with? Nice growth in 2 yrs.

Robert,

thanks! I feed them with espoma (holly tone usually, but any of the espoma products work fine). I also kept it in partial shade, and planted it in a deep pot! And....I put a dish of water underneath!

maybe it will fruit in the next 5yrs??

Thanks Adam,.

I've been using espoma also and mine are in the shade. I can't seem to grow jaboticaba in full sun. Which is fine as I don't have anymore full sun spots.

We have had a ton of rain this past two weeks. Over ten inches. Thus, jaboticaba flower!

My trees are on the 1st flower flush of 2014. They fruited back in December also as we got a lot of rain for that month also. So eating fruit and watching them flower again is pretty cool!

I've heard they can have 5 flower flushes and this is the first year I've seen multiple. I've only seen a spring flower flush in the past. So....viva la jaboticaba!!!

A pretty sight to behold! Wasn't it you who posted before about covering developing fruits with aluminum foil to deter the critters? Didn't that work well for you?

Yes...I will have to try that again this year! Maybe a big net too.

Where do you get your jaboticbas so beautifully flocked?

just one big tree like this! I'm guessing it's about 20yrs old??

HMHausman · « **Reply #364 on:** March 09, 2014, 09:55:49 PM »

Mine bloomed heavily on some branches and not at all on others

Central Floridave · « **Reply #365 on:** March 10, 2014, 02:13:34 PM »

Harry, how do you get your tree to grow sideways like that! Probably easier to pick the fruit like that. LOL. (joking)

As a follow up on my post above, my trees are now on the 2nd flower flush this year. Fruit are developing and with a new flower flush.

Birds have been visiting my trees and taking the fruit. erggg...Squirrels as well.

Also, I would like to mention that the aroma of jaboticaba flower is nice. Kind of like Jasmine. It grabs your attention.

Moving this post to jabo pruning thread.

I now have:

Crown 1,2,3,
Sabara 5
Grimal
2 Reds

Edit: Should have read: I now have a problem

Thinking about capping it there, but as we all know, that probably is futile.

I have two recommendations. First, subject your tree to hurricane force winds that blow the tree over. Then, make the momentous decision that the tree will be fine in the prone position( read that, I was too lazy to do the work to upright it). Or, you can fail to turn your upright taken photo when it appears horizontally because of the camera position at the moment of the shot. In actuality, both modalities suggested above have been employed in the picture you are commenting on.

i'm going to have lots of Red jaboticaba seeds soon!

There's so much fruit the birds can't keep up!

edself65 · « **Reply #371 on:** April 06, 2014, 10:23:58 PM »

Great looking crop of Red Jaboticabas Adam!

kgknight · « **Reply #372 on:** April 06, 2014, 10:31:31 PM »

Adam that's awesome! The lower part of the trunk is smothered with fruit. So cool.

Tropicaliste · « **Reply #373 on:** April 07, 2014, 09:10:36 AM »

Forgive me if this sounds ignorant. You mention using "Hollytone". Went to my farmers coop, I was about to get the Hollytone, but then I saw they had processed Chicken manure, processed Cow manure, Worm Castings, and something called TTP Compost which looked full of good stuff. Any thoughts?

huertasurbanas · « **Reply #374 on:** April 07, 2014, 07:56:34 PM »

Hi crazy folks!!!

is this a jabo sprouting?

very early to say, maybe, but to me it's similar to vexator...
