The seeds were not packed in any moist agents. So, they arrived dried up. That is why I am soaking it for a few days now. Also, I am changing the water 2 to 3 times daily. Even by doing this, it can ferment ?Usually jabuticaba seeds are very resistant, after this period they should reach their destination almost germinated.
About customs of Brazil, you are lucky, most of the packages are actually being held and returned.
Friday I received pagodas with myrtacea seeds that I sent in March and all arrived with my hand sprouted.
I suggest you plant the seeds and draw the water as it can ferment.
as I said by the photos it has everything to be jabuticaba Sabará, but anyway, nothing better than the response of those who posted the seeds.
I have asked the sender to try and ask around if it is this one. BTW, as soon as I received the seeds, I have soaked them in water. They were in transit for about 20 days and arrived dried up. I change the water thrice daily. It's the second day now. Still the water turns brown. Any reason for that? Also, will these germinate?Maybe Sabará, Jaboticaba comum.
Hi Mike,
Do you know if your friend has any other Chrysophyllum imperiale plants?
I'm keen on getting one, located down south in Melbourne - they survive here without added heating.
Cheers
Marcus
I believe there are many Chrysophyllum imperiale trees at Royal botanic garden in Sydney, so you might be able to get seeds (maybe seedlings?) from them.

Melanopsidium nigrum seed tray.
Today, I have potted my Melanopsidium nigrum seedlings. On my place, it is more or less cold for half of the year. Therefore, the plants are not expected to flower within the next 3 years. Alexandre, thank you for the seeds. 90 % germination.
If you got the seeds from me they are originally from highlands Guatemala, so a sub tropical, and not surprising it survived. They have a wide range, so there are some that are more tropical. So all depends where you sourced them?
Oscar, is P. torta ssp gallifructa a highlands species in general, or does it just have a significant range? I haven't come across any altitude data on it so far.
Fruits were harvested from the peruvian jungle. Shipped them to cali. Picked the fruits a month ago. Trees grow close to the rio de madre dios. Lowland jungle.
Is Yellow Ubaia a sister-species with Red/Ruby Ubaia (E. patrisii)?
I grow Abiu in SW Florida and one of my trees, a seedling of Z4, fruited in 3 years from seed. I plant them in the ground when they are 6 to 7 feet tall because they are cold sensitive when they are young. They get water every single day, and some organic fertilizer once or twice a year.
Some abius will not fruit by itself and requires another tree next to it for cross pollination. That’s my experience with Abiu here in SW Florida.
