hahaha!  you got a pic of my mudflap!  Nice!

I got the haircut as a joke last week, and ended up keeping it...(It's the first time I've gone to a barber in the last 15 yrs...I usually let my hair grow out until I can't stand it, then shave it on a number 8 )....this mullet thing is working out great so far...I'm just a FL nursery man, good ol' boy!

here is a pic Bob took after I got the mullet installed...I was planting a 25 gal Garcinia from Luc...but I look more like a foreman on a construction site. 

So you're willing to post a photo of yourself mulletized but just last year, this is all you were willing to let the internet see of you:

Lol, I thought that was a pony tail.

Same here.  However, it seems he has upgraded himself to redneck.  Whoooooo!

Hahaha!  That's a great pic...(your expression is great...like, "is this tweaker seriously gonna cover his face for a photo?  does he owe child support payments or what?") 

at the time I was trying to keep my photo from being posted for as long as possible.  I liked the fact that you could remain somewhat anonymous...it's always interesting to read someone's writings for a few years...and then finally see their mug.


Since then (I don't remember when exactly), my picture made it on the forum.  At first it was the jew fro, now it's the jullet. 

I'm trying to get my own reality show on vh1.

Yeah, I saw a few of the videos that started to show up (Grimal Grove, Pitangatuba) and then you started posting your own.  I figured it was inevitable.

hard to tell from the pics...but looks like you have a sabara...and the first one looks almost like Grimal, having larger leaves.

but it can be really hard to tell them apart, especially if the leaves are not perfectly healthy...or if one tree is grown in the shade, and another is in full sun (It can make the leaves look very different)

try to take pics of the leaves, top and bottom, and compare them...and also pics of new growth.

still tough for me to differentiate from images I looked through this thread. I have 3 Jabos that I got and were labeled as M.Cauliflora from PIN. Which I believe are just regular Sabaras. Here's some pics.


This one was planted in ground a year ago and started to flush out new bigger leaves this February since I started to foliar feed it.



These other two are relatively new. Just got them about 3 months ago and planted them in ground right away. They flushed new leaves a couple weeks ago but are about the same size as the old leaves they have.



Here's a comparison on the leaf size. Left and middle are from the two new trees, and the right big leaf is from the one I got a year ago.


What do you think? are all three just regular sabaras?

I'd like to know because the guy I buy these from he gets these from PIN and he supposedly have one red jabo in hand and I want to be able to ID it from the leaves if it is a red one or not.

To the Jaboticabaholics, I present you the biggest jabo that I ever seen!!!! Look at the real photos posted by Rodrigues, which shows fruits with the size of cambucás:

Whoa!!! must be black magic

nice!  looks about the same size as the M. coronata var. Restinga pic.

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5081/5281374928_c4ab52dd16.jpg

the largest I've seen was just slightly larger than both of these...a rare variety of M. coronata...I don't recall the varietal name.

on second thought, looks like u just have Sabara!  doesnt' look like Grimal.

Niice, class and forum clown here from 19 how long.
work "Turtle Place" into the band name somehow and I'll work tour management for y'all. I will simply require Jabo commission as well as Jabo stipend, and a case of Jabo port for every leg shall be in the tour rider.

[FlyingFoxFruits]

just tell me where to sign boss!

Oh I know it, but this isn´t the restinga var., but the Coronata itself. I have a grafted Restinga in a container. It produces big fruits, but not so big as the coronata itself.
The hand in the photo is from Márcia, which I meet last year. She is a kind girl. She also have amoras, Grumixamas and other fruit trees.
Her personal blog has a suggestive name "Crazy for jabuticabas" http://loucosporjabuticaba.blogspot.com.br/2010/10/fotos-de-jabuticaba-paulista.html

thanks for the info Cassio!

for some reason I always thought this photo was of coronata var Restinga!

btw, e jardim's website says the largest form of coronata found so far is:

Carijó  (with fruits of more than 4, 5 cm)

I bet it takes a good 20yr to fruit!

Exactly! Marcia´s Coronata took more than this in fact. 
I´m to much old for this, and can´t wait for so long time. So, my choice was to buy a grafted coronata var. restinga, which produced her first five fruits this year. The fruits aren´t that big as coronata itself, but the var. restinga has small seeds and a sweet flavor. I´m satisfied.

[FlyingFoxFruits]

thanks for the great info Cassio!

I remember you posted a pic of your grafted tree fruiting!  it was really encouraging to see this...considering the usual wait for some of these rare species to fruit (like trunciflora or coronata)

thanks for the ID

I might get a few scions from you and try grafting some to expand my collection here. It's tough to get any other varieties here in AZ.

Any tips on a potting mix for jabos, specifically a yellow? I usually do a 5:1:1 mix for most plants, but would something with a little more water holding capacity do better for a yellow, or should I just make it a well draining mix and sit the pot in a tub of water? Also, should freshly harvested mullet locks be added at planting, or top-dressed with later?

nothing special for the yellow, but it seems to like good drainage...can handle a prolonged flood, but won't be as resilient as M. cauliflora or M. jaboticaba...

is a bit more sensitive to high pH (or nutrient deficiency) than Sabara.

mullet sounds good...I don't see how it could hurt.
