When is a red jabo fully ripe? I have a few that just turned completely red today. How many more days until optimal ripeness?
Quote from: xshen on April 01, 2015, 08:35:49 PMWhen is a red jabo fully ripe? I have a few that just turned completely red today. How many more days until optimal ripeness?U can eat them early, but they are a bit tart and fibrous.With Sabara u can't do this...it's too astringent.I let them sit for more than a week..and the flavor gets intensely sweet. They seem to last for about 2 weeks after achieving full coloration on the tree...But birds and animals always find them if you let them sit on the tree too long.It's great to have them in a greenhouse .... But then aphids get all over them!I've had some of the sweetest fruit imaginable this season...the fruits are allowed to sit on the trees for over 10 days after turning fully red
It may be the addiction talking, but this art popped up on our Chromecast earlier, and I'm pretty sure I'm seeing a depiction of jaboticaba there.

Adam, What fertilizer do you recommend for jabos?
Can you say how much NPK this product has since we don't have that product here?
Grimal getting close. DM
Uau! The fruits appears to be big! 3 to 4 cm in diameter, maybe?

The fruits appears to be big! 3 to 4 cm in diameter, maybe?Grimal typically has larger fruit than Sabara (if properly grown)...I have not measured, but I think 3-4cm is close....Paulista and coronata can be larger for sure.the flavor of Grimal is unique...having a concord grape taste IMO.
