Scarlet (Escalarte) Jaboticaba right around three years putting out blooms on two different trees! Trees are in 15 gal. pots. Pretty excited to try these!
An interesting looking undescribed Plinia
I have 5 years old jaboticaba sp. Escalarte (caulifora x aureana). Is it a red hybrid jaboticaba and Its only another name for it? Thanks
Definitely at least partially due to lack of Iron because I can see the veins are still a bit green with yellow in between the veins and it appears both young and older leaves are affected. You may need a bit of Magnesium as well. I would try a foliar with something like Southern Ag Citrus nutritional spray which you can pick up at Home Depot. Your pot may be slightly too large for the plant so you are washing away a lot of the nutrients from the soil. It's better to gradually step up the pot but it's probably best to leave it in its current container because it's probably already somewhat filled the pot. Simon

Almost 2 years later and the little jabo is looking much better. The Southern Ag Citrus treatment really work well. Greened up nice and growing slowly but surely. Thanks for the advice!
I bought a jabo with some bark damage at the trunk. Is there something I should do to prevent it from rotting in the future? Or is it fine to leave it like this? It has been growing nicely otherwise.
