yea i got 10 of them or more, and last year we had hurricane, and freezes, pretty bad...the freezes came and i watered them constantly overhead to protect them with ice formation, but what happened is crazy, i think there's pics on my FB page, but the trees got covered in ice, and it weighed them down so heavily that they were toppled, and uprooted from the pots, i guess the roots hadn't fill out the new 30 gal pots i put them in sufficiently to keep them upright with all that ice formation, it was crazy like 26F one night, and 25F the other, the trees were frozen over, and sitting in pools of water, with their roots disturbed heavily, but i just set them back upright, and kept them tied up, so the wind wouldn't jostle the roots as they recovered, and now they are doing just fine, but this year, not much flowering so far, just a light bloom, and light crop setting now, hopefully later this year the put out a nice crop..
I recently transplanted some Grimal Jabuticaba trees from 15 gal, into heavy duty 25 gal pots with reservoirs built in at the base.
some of the trees have light crops, and some are bare...but one is going crazy..(this is the 3rd crop this year...one was light, one was heavy)
Admittedly, I have been over-watering them...although the trees don't mind, the fruits will split when they are close to maturity.
You can see the minerals from the water on the skin of the fruits, making them look chalky.
Adam. Do you still have this tree? or fruiting Grimal?
