Oscar,
The city in Brazil that you are referring to is called "Jaboticabal" and not jabuticabeira.  Jaboticabal is located in the state of Sao Paulo in the southeast of Brazil.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaboticabal

There is a place called jabuticabeira not too far from Rio. http://travelingluck.com/South%20America/Brazil/Rio%20de%20Janeiro/_3480666_Jabuticabeira.html#local_map
I think there are 4-5 towns in Brazil called jabuticaba.

Oscar,
I missed Jabuticabeira in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Jaboticabal, in Sao Paulo, is quite famous in Brazil due to its agrobusiness.  Therefore, Jaboticabal came to my mind righ a way.  Good job! As I wrote, "I am ready to learn".

Speaking of jaboticaba...my Red jaboticabas are all in different phases of fruit...and flower...

Also my yellow jaboticaba has many fruits set, and is on its 4th bloom cycle within the last 4months....never had this happen before...only 2 blooms usually...I greenhoused this year! and mild winter so far, thank you "old man winter", for not  breathing down my back!

This is for you,

The rest of the group,

Its for you to!  ;)

I love the song, and hearing how to properly say jabuticaba

I see people renting the trees in the video, and enjoying them as a family get together.

Is this the case? THANKS ;D

Adam,
Thank you for the video.  I had seen this video before, but It still made me feel homesick (saudade). Thanks God, I am going south is a couple months. This music is from a famous Brazilian singer from the state of Pernambuco.  His name is Alceu Valenca (with a C cedille). I went to one of his shows and he sang this song.  Alceu Valença - Morena Tropicana - Rock in Rio 1985
He is singing about a woman (morena tropicana) that he wants her love.  Then, he starts talking about different types of fruits as sweet as her love.  So, he mentions the following: Cana Caiana (very sweet type of sugar cane); Jabuticaba; Umbu-Caja (is a type of spondia native to Brazil); Manga Rosa (pink manga with a nice sweet, firm, and fragrant flesh); Melao (melon); Sapoti (sapodilla); Jua (juah with an accent on the a -  Ziziphus Joazeiro, another very sweet native fruit).
Adam, I have never been to this area where this jabuticaba festival takes place.  This festival is in the state of Mato Grosso.  In the state of Goias, next to Mato Grosso there is a jabuticaba orchard that the owner will give you the land and the  jabuticaba orchard if you are able to eat one (1) jabuticaba from each tree in the property.  According to a friend of mine from Goias and familiar with this place, the orchard has thousands of jabuticaba trees and during harvest, buses loaded with people come to enjoy jabuticaba.  It is an all you can eat type of deal.  You pay a fixed price and you can eat as many jabuticabas as you want. At this property, they also sell Jabuticaba wine and licor.  Good Job Adam!  I think you were a jabuticaba farmer in Brazil, in another life!!!!!

Ooops I missed Caju ( cashew -  anacardium occidentale).  Adam, I come from a city called Aracaju in the northeast.  I grew up eating tons of different kinds of cajus.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aracaju
Last year, I ate a very large type of jabuticaba in Aracaju, and I am not sure about the correct name of that variety.  I am still researching it. In Brazil, every now and then they find a new variety of jabuticaba!  Incredible!
Aracaju is a combination of two words, Ara = arara a colorful bird called macaw in the English language and Caju - the fruit cashew.  Tropical Fruit Forum is also a place to learn about the world!

How much cold can Jaboticabas take? Jacksonville FL was mentioned in this thread so it has me curious. I have a few seedlings going in pots but it would be great if I could get them in the ground.

The jaboticabas that I was growing in the Houston area survived the following temps:

22 F - no damage
20F - about a third of the leaves lost
18F - My 8' tall tree was killed back to about 3.5 to 4 feet. It survived but did not fruit that year!

Thanks,

Ed

Good to know. I might stick a seedling in the ground just to see what happens.

Mike Henderson, of Jacksonville RIP, was the most inspiring and kind growers I've met.

He had a very large fruiting jaboticaba in Jacksonville...U used to be able to look at the google earth images and see how he made the easement next to the sidewalk in front of his house, a huge hoop house enclosure!

He fruited M. glazioviana, Miracle fruit, M. jaboticaba, P. campechiana (canistel), and a bunch of others that would have blown your mind!

He wast the best! I'm so happy I got to meet him, and purchase bill whitmans book for him...he really liked it...being a rare fruit pioneer, pushing the limits!

Mike Henderson will be sorely missed! and there should be an article about him...he is a real legend to me!

I have a friend in Brandon that had a productive 10+ foot jaboticaba that was very seriously damaged by 17F in 2010 and it is now cut back to 3 feet but not producing fruit yet. Possibly it's still in shock since the bark seems to be peeling off.

Peeling is a good sign. It means the tree is happy but doesn't necessarily mean it's
going to flower. The fact that the tree is 4 feet is also a good sign. How old is the tree?
I have four fruting trees and they flowered before they hit 4 feet.

In the thread Adam posted a cool video of a Jaboticaba festival with this song. I loved the song and wanted some translation.  I found this old thread because of
My love for the jabo after enjoying my first fruits
