I was walking through my jungle today and saw what I thought was a Jaboticaba Fruit sticking up above the weeds where I had several young potted Jaboticabas. I reached down and pulled the potted jab tree out and saw that the tag said Sabara and also noticed that this tree was my double rootstock experiment from this thread. I just can’t believe how early this tree fruited considering it’s a Sabara seedling and the diameter of the trunk is so small.
It’s just a single fruit so nothing to get too hyped up about but it’s still exciting. Maybe I got an off type Sabara seedling or the flower was cross pollinated by a red Jab? Can anyone tell by the leaves if it’s a regular Sabara seedling?
If you look at the diameter of the trunks at the beginning of this thread, you can see how thin my starting material was. If this seedling is a normal Sabara, it seems like I was able to cut in half the time to Fruit from seed. I could only think that it would have taken many more years if I did not innarch these two seedlings.
The double rootstocks definitely increased the rate of growth for this tree. I completely neglected this tree and definitely haven’t been giving it enough water. I will now try to reply it and start watering it regularly to see if I can get more production on it.
