Do your vexator have an unpleasant astringency to them?

Raul, I found my sabaras averaged over 7 years until they fruited, grimal about 1 year less, vexator about 4,red hybrid 3 and escarlate about 2.5 if I remember correctly.Escarlate fruits numerous times in a year often flowering again while it has developing fruit. Sabara and red hybrid also fruit multiple times a year.
Recher the vexator was not astringent at all.

Congrats! So escarlate is a backcross with m. aureana? How about its flavour, and how would you describe the blue jabo flavour? I have vexator and red hybrid, they are doing fine but growing slowly here.

Escarlate is the sweetestbeing just a shade sweeter than red hybrid. Sabara is also sweet of course. Vexator has a plum like quality with maroon flesh near the skin but with thick skin and large seeds the flesh yield is low.

I remember the only one red hybrid fruit that I ate 2 years ago as one of the best fruit I taste, thanks for the report. I just hope that the fruit fly doesnt mess with my jaboticaba fruits...

Vexators have a reasonable flavour but are not one of the best jaboticabas.
