Had Mouriri pusa at some point. Don't recall what happened to it? Vague memory now, but as i recall it didn't have the cerrado curse, but was a slow grower. Photos you posted are neat looking alright!

Photos you posted are neat looking alright!Just received Mouriri pusa and Mouriri glazioviana seeds on my danish address - and tips on germination?
Adam - do you have some Jabo trees available? My wife is a Jaboticabaholic and needs a fix. I sent you a PM as well.
Thanks ADam, I will take a couple more pics tom and maybe that will help.
Thanks Adam! I can tell you the leaves are longer and more narrow than the Sabara's I have and also they are more membranous. So I think you assumption is probably correct, I have a grimal too and they kind of look similiar and I almost thought it was, thats why I wanted to ask. Is the truniclflora a good variety?
I really like Yellow jabo...the flavor is unique and delicious...like apricot coconut.Its easy to grow, but gets chlorotic pretty easy with city water, or lime rock (likes low pH).fruits can get decent sized if you properly care for the tree. They fruit quickly from seed, in about 4yrs.

They fruit quickly from seed, in about 4yrs.That's a nice big one! I like em too, but refuse to use the name yellow jaboticaba as they don't look, taste, or feel anything like a jaboticaba. Cabelluda, meaning hairy fruit, seems more descripitive, but probably yellow jabo is better selling name.

I agree somewhat with your statement, but other similar myrciaria fruits are hairy! I still haven't even thought of a common name for M. strigipes...I think the translation of the common name is "Beach Cambuca", which is what I've been calling it, although I think a better name could be invented.I've really got into the habit of only referring to jaboticabas by their botanical name...it can be a good and bad thing! I seem to confuse lots of newbies, but it gets the message across to enthusiasts and collectors!
