Are you going to sell seeds?
Yes. I'll be selling the seeds but they'll be expensive due to the rarity. And the precocity. Seeds were planted on December 8 of 2012 and they flowered in December of 2016. About 30 days from flower opening until mature fruit.
$7 per seed plus shipping. 2 seed minimum. I know Australia is about $14 shipping so I suppose Hungary is about the same.
These photos where taken yesterday of one of my coronata resting trees.

Checking in on the designated Jabo thread. I was thinking recently on how some Coffee growers take the skins of the coffee beans (which would otherwise be composted) and use them to make tea. Which got me thinking: Could the same be done with Jaboticaba? Could we take skins from the different Jabo species (as well as other thick-skinned Myrtles), dry them and use them for tea? Would it have any benefits? Would it at least be palatable? They'd otherwise go to waste anyway, especially if the Jabos are being processed. Has anyone thought to try it?I've read jaboticaba peel has many health benefits. Some research lab made experiments with freeze-dried jaboticaba peel. Here are some articles:
