Wow, very nice variegated Jabo

I have an older jaboticaba that we transplanted into a pot recently. It was doing very very poorly in the original location and was very-probably originally-root bound. It is still green underneath the bark in all locations and it puts out new growth, but the new growth is relatively brown and seems to die off quickly. Has anyone seen this before? The others we transplanted are doing awesome. Is there anything I can do?

I've got a couple jabos in pots that were transplanted about a month or so ago that are just starting to flush out for the first time since the move. I'd assumed they were Sabará, but the new leaves look way bigger than any Sabará I'd seen yet. Are these just really happy Sabará leaves or might I have something different?

Here is a photo of my Red Jaboticaba tree. It is just under a year old. What deficiency is this? How do I treat it?

fyliu · « **Reply #1183 on:** June 07, 2016, 03:30:38 PM »

I've had this before and I think it was lack of acidity so it can't absorb what it needs to grow correctly. My plant ended up getting weaker and died.

...

Overall yellowing with green veins is usually a symptom of iron deficiency.

Here are pic of my sabara that has been in the ground for nearly a year.

It doesn't seem to be thriving and has basically been this way since i got it, even after we had rain everyday for nearly 3 weeks it remained the same.

Some of the leaves are turning brown and crunchy and there always seems to cluster of brown leaves somewhere (could be birds snapping small branches)

My so is calcareous and I applied some sulfur in January.
Also i have lemon grass growing in the some bed right next to it.
Its on a typical 8-3-9 fertilizer

Any suggestion would be helpful

Soil's and water's ph is probably too high. Mine was like that until I brought the ph down to 5.5-6.5.

Here's a pic of the leaves

How much water is it getting? It also looks to be planted in a planter? and mighty close to the house. Not good for many plants.

What kind of sulfur did you use and how was it applied?

Its planted in the ground but your right its adjacent to a patio.
I haven't watered it in the last few days but even before this when we were getting rain almost everyday for a few weeks it wasn't doing much better. But yeh, i know i should still be watering it. $:-\$
I got a bag of micronized sulfur and mixed a scoop in a bucket of water and dumped in near the base of the tree. Bought this before realizing i should have got the granulated stuff.

Its been in the ground for nearly a year, do you think i should moving in closer to my canal?

I was told that a quick and more permanent way to reduce ph is to incorporate Canadian peat moss in the first 6 inches of soil at about 4 peat moss to 1 current soil. Sulfur pellets tend to take a very long time to take effect.
An immediate fix would be to reduce the water ph to about 5.5 and not more than 6.

I can give in a shot, and add some mulch on top maybe. You think i should pull the lemon grass?
I eventually plan a having drip irrigation going to it so water shouldn't be a problem soon.

On a side note. I really wanted a few shrubs there for a bit of privacy and morning shade. I was thinking about planting a one or two more next to it.
Would it be too crowed to fruit? Any suggestions on variety?

kh0110 · « **Reply #1193 on:** July 02, 2016, 12:44:56 AM »

I cannot comment on the lemon grass but, like Rob alluded, Jabos needs a lot of water. They seem to be natural swimmers.

Spent a bit of time at Leo Manuel's place pruning his Sabara Jaboticaba. It is in a shaded area, and I suggested if we "open it up" a bit, he would get a lot more fruit. The tree is one of the tallest I have seen in California, I suppose it is maybe 15 feet plus. Leo figured it is at least 20 years old.
Anyway, here are some before and after photos of the tree.

Nice prune job. That's a wonderful thing to see and hopefully it fruits like never before!

Hi all your members.

2 months ago Jaboticaba fruit tasting.
The first fruit tasted, but familiar taste.
After planting the seeds.
Here is a picture germination.
Jaboticaba variegated germination.

FlyingFoxFruits · « **Reply #1197 on:** July 17, 2016, 10:16:37 AM »

congrats Gue,

that variegation pattern looks stable, I think you could have a very valuable and rare plant now!

Please keep us posted on you progress.

Great pic of Leo's BIG Jabo, very nice prune job Mark, so do you know how much fruit he get's? looks like it would be fruitful but I know Jack swords has a big tree (for California) and he hasn't been getting much fruit!
Adam, what would help big trees fruit / Sabara ?
