Jaboticaba and Mycorrhizal Association

[SouthOfBorneo]

Does anyone here have an info about the plant Jaboticaba (Plinia) and its mycorrhizal association?? There are different types of mycorrhizae, namely endomycorrhizae, ectomycorrhizae, orchid mycorrhizae, etc. For anyone who happens to research tropical fruit trees intensively, may you give me the enlightenment on the type of mycorrhizal symbiont the Jaboticaba have?? Thank you.

No, I dont know, but brazilians should studied it ...

the only thing I found is this https://www.pepesplants.com/jaboticaba.html

Thank you for the link. Have you grown Jaboticaba?? I might use some advice for the climate around my place! https://www.accuweather.com/en/id/serpong/202292/weather-forecast/202292
Btw, I'm interested in red Jaboticaba (they call it Vermelha if I'm not wrong, the fast bearing 3 years fruiting type). If you happen to know, will they thrive in my climate?

They should do it... (jaboticabas grow anywhere in the tropics) , many forum members grow jaboticabas... I grow red, blue, yellow and many others as for instance sabará, paulista, trunciflora, coronata...

I am growing Plinia Inflata the Giant Mulchi organically.  I got seeds from Oscar At Fruit Lovers Nursery and they all germinated.  They seem to grow fairly fast.  Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get any first hand knowledge about the taste, texture, etc.  I do have the red Jaboticaba but they don’t excite me as much as the Giant Mulchi.

Yea, it seems they're from the same Family as Jabo. But I'm guessing the taste and commercial value probably not as spectacular as Jaboticaba, which can be noticed by the hype surrounding this fruit (Jabo) in the whole forum. Hell, if they could bear fruits in 3-4 years from seeds as it is described, I'm totally sold. Good yield due to cauliflory, nice taste (haven't tasted one tho), wide applications (wine, jam, etc).

In Bali Island, Indonesia there are vineyards and wineries, even though grapes don't thrive as good in the tropics. A Jaboticaba vineyard would be more in line with nature rather than against them I suppose.
