I got a lil baby Grimal Seedling and was wondering how mamy years this cultivar takes to flower.
This is a thread for those who have a problem. This isn't a thread for the casual jaboticaba grower...such as the growers who're satisfied with one or two varieties. If you find yourself thinking about new varieties of jaboticaba several times a day, you have found the right place. Go ahead and contribute to the discussion, and you'll be an official member of J.A. I ask that everyone please refrain from using real names, and defer to profile usernames...so we can remain anonymous. here is a prayer to get our first meeting started: God, give me grace to accept with serenity the jabuticabeiras that I cannot cultivate, Courage to collect the jabuticabeiras which should be grown, and the Wisdom to distinguish one from the other.
Adam, Are you still running the JA? You got me started when I lived in NY, seeing all your strains, got me craving so badly, never even had a Jaboticaba before but instantly fell in love. I knew I had to seek these out and get a taste... Moved to Pine Island so my wife and I could get our fix on. Got our hands on a blue and red Jabba and we sprouted our 1st seedlings from Sabra(from our very 1st hit of Jabba ever) Oooooh it feels so good!!! PS... Thanks a lot

Embrace that feeling of "everything feels exotic"...you can get jaded after a while. Just do your best
How does a jaboticaba respond to kept or seaweed fertilizers?
Got my first red jabo today! I think its close to fruiting size. What do you guys think about my plan to nurse it back to health?-Upgrade to 15gal pot-50/50 sphagnum/soil mix + perlite-Holly-tone on topAny advice? My other jabos are in the ground so I’m not very familiar with keeping them in pots
Must admit I am somewhat surprised to see this Cambuca slowly establishing itself on one branch of a mature Sabara.
Today I was shocked to find the first flowers on my Sapucaia and Rosa de Pescoço trees. These seedlings are only three years old. I am not aware of anyone who has fruiting trees of these varieties outside of Brazil. I can’t wait to taste them! My grafted ESALQ has also begun flowering but that variety has been fruiting in Florida for some time. It seems that Plinia phitrantha is a fast fruiting species. Doesn’t get much faster than 3 years from seed!Sapucaia:Rosa de Pescoço:
