What size are you talking? Fruiting Age? What Variety?

There are no set prices for Jabos especially a fruiting Jabo.
If you want to play in the Jabo realm, you gotta pony up the cash, unfortunately.
You can find older trees at the big nurseries (Sabara and maybe Red), but they are pricey.
Much easier to find seeds and seedlings, and be patient.

Check:
Morton and Sons
Green Dreams
Fly Fox Fruits
Barnhill Farms and Nursery
Excaliber
Our Kids Nursery
A Natural Farm

Hope this helps.

Excalibur is good if you are looking for 100 gal size or larger but you will drop a minimum of $600....and need a Bobcat to move/plant.

Al's has real nice 25 gal and up and at good prices.

+1 for Al's!

Been out there a few times. Healthy trees, some choice selections, and helpful.

I have an in-ground grimal jabo (I'm gonna say around 6 - 7 ft) that you can take a chance digging out. It's getting cleared out one way or the other to make room for something else. Fruited for the first time a few months ago.

Folks... I got several PM's on this from different people. If Gonzo (whose thread this is) doesn't take it, then I'll go down the list in order of the PM's.
