Can anybody share their knowledge of a flavorful dragon fruit variety?
I thought mine had died after it dropped all its leaves, the bark started peeling all over also.Did you just transplant that tree? I’ve never seen a Jaboticaba that’s dropped all it’s leaves like that. Is there any sign of life on it like leaf buds?
My red jabo dropped all its leaves some weeks ago, mostly on the same day, after holding most of them through the winter. I think it started peeling bark for the first time about the same time. Granted it was on a windy day, but it seemed intentional to me. The leaves had taken frost before, and this was as the weather was warming a bit. My black E. uniflora did the same, though it's been dropping leaves more gradually. It's possible both plants are just dying, but I think they're both just semi-deciduous.
If it’s pushing new leaves, that’s a great sign. My Sabara is evergreen but that’s just my yard. You got a nice sized Sabara, hopefully it will fruit for you soon.mine gave out fruits last year while it was in the pot. I'm hoping this heavy pruning will redirect energy to getting thicker and producing more fruits instead of trying to keep useless branches alive.

Did you just transplant that tree? I’ve never seen a Jaboticaba that’s dropped all it’s leaves like that. Is there any sign of life on it like leaf buds?transplanted the tree a few months ago, there have been some peoples sabara that has done this as well and told me it was normal during winter which had me confused because I was under the impression that jabo trees are evergreen. it is currently pushing out new flushes from the branches.
If you recently transplanted it and damaged a lot of the roots, you can prune/head back a lot of the taller growth. When I transplant trees, I like to prune back the vegetative growth so that the mass of the above ground growth is similar to or less than the mass of the roots. This is to ensure the tree is balanced in terms of water balance and so that the tree doesn’t die.

Jabos like shade and lots of water. Looks like it is getting toasted.if I build a canopy over it will it be fine?
