Rhaaa, I wish I could get some seeds of jaboticaba so that I could join the club. Else maybe I should start drinking and join the AAs. Hum. I will think about it. Good to know that there are always some solutions when one is feeling too lonely...

I need to know! :S

Now I am more sure, the one from the above (not the white one, the brown one) should be a flower bud:

Jabuticaba Coroada da Restinga (grafted) in a pot.

Jabuticaba "sapucaia" (grafted) in a pot. Just for the sake of her beauty.
It will take years before to bloom...

I´m not sure...
She is grafted, and was bought in 2014. This is the second time she blooms.
Pot is 80cm tall by 50 cm in the "mouth".

Beleza total Cassio, what is that jaboticaba? where did you got it?

[Mugenia]

I planted one of them jaboticaba not too long ago.  How long do I expect it to bear fruits? My tree was from a 5 gallon size. Thanks!

It depends on species, fertilizer, water... sun...: if your tree is an hibrid red one, it should do it at 3 to 5 years old... if it is paulista or sabará, more than 8 years old... 5 galon should be a mature jaboticaba

how tall is it? maybe 3 feet tall? in that case, it should do it soon

[Mugenia]

Thank you! I guess I won't see fruits for awhile.

Obrigado Marcos!

The grafted Sapucaia I bought from e-jardim (Rio de Janeiro)
The grafted Coroada da Restinga I bought from São José do Rio Preto

But I also have a Sabará and two hybrids (also known as "precoce" var), all of them with young fruits for now.
I also have a Blue jabo, but I think she will take more 1 or 2 years before to fruit.

Cool Cassio, but I cant find any info on the net about your jaboticaba sapucaia, neither at e-jardim

http://www.e-jardim.com/resultado_busca.asp?Cat=1&pagina=1&palavrachave=&lista=1

what/how would she be?

Marcos, there is a photo of a bigger tree available under the facebook account of "Eduardo Jardim".
In fact, this is a var of a better known species (I just do not remember which is). What makes her different is the color of their leafs, which are rose when young, later reddish and light green in the end. It makes her an ornamental beauty as you can see in my photo above. Cause the color of the young leafs that ressembles a sapucaia tree, she was named "sapucaia" by e-jardim.

Hello

This Jabuticaba is a Plinia Phitrantha, the name is also linked to the collection site of the city of Sapucaia in the state of Rio de Janeiro, as Marco Lacerda himself told me during a visit to the E-Jardim.

My tree has six years and 2.8 m, and fruited at 4 years, fruits are good, sweet and small seeds, it is worth the cultivation.

I am very happy with the cultivation of Plinias Phitranthas, are very fast here and good fruits, or rather delicious fruits.

Thanks Cassio and Alexandre , it seems that Marco Lacerda is a living leyend there (i was watching this video yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76-ruS8TAUM), a friend of mine that bought him some seeds told me e-jardim is very expensive... anyway I cant import any seeds till I get an import permit.

Plinia Phitrantha var. sapucaia is an amazing ornamental one!

[nelesedulis]

Hi,

Yes this video is himself.

The products can be expensive, since it has a whole work to collect the species, to identify, to cultivate, etc.
And in Brazil everything is far, not always the plants are within reach, I have already walked 1400 km behind a species, then all this has its cost, whether it is to pay who will take you to the plant, fuel, hotel, meals and to cultivate in itself, it is expensive, Brazil is all expensive lately.
Good that today already have people who buy from him and are already sharing the seeds.

Sometimes I'd rather pay dear and have a seed or quality plant than pay cheap and get a seed from the Cretaceous period at home!

I am a customer of this nursery for 10 years and everything is developing very well here.

Hi, so, if we in the U.S.A want to order from E-Jardim, can we? Will the seeds arrive? I love the webpage but, since I don't speak Portuguese I'm a bit concerned. Any info would be appreciated. Best regards, Chris

I think yes. I've contacted them and they ship worldwide. Note that the minimum amount per species is around $240 excluding shipping fee. If you purchase 3 species, minimum amount will be 3x240$ plus postage fee.

Hi all,

Just a newbie question, jabuticaba trees grown from seed are true to variety or not?

Thanks,

João Franco

[nelesedulis]

Hi João.

I have observed that the seeds produce the same matrices, at the beginning of the year I planted 100 aureanas and the seedlings so far look the same, so I believe that if forced cross pollination is not done, the seedlings will be the same.

I planted 20 seeds of Peluda do mucuri and they are all uniform as well.

[huertasurbanas]

its leaves remind me to some other jaboticaba species... maybe they are similar to aureana?
