For the last freez ,about midnite  it was near 30 in my green house . I got two 55gal drums in side and
filled them with well water. The water temp. was 70 in the drums and brought the GH temps to about 3In the morning the drum temp. was 55 and the GH temps was still above freezing.Just Something
TO Think  About, it worked for me.

H i puglvr--just checked forcast for okeechobee 28 for town whitch means it will be lower north of town
 my plants are already toasted. I need more sheets to cover .good luck

Good show mangofang. Keep up the good work.Very impressive.it reminds of the fruit and spice
park in Florida

trailer 12 30 --30 degrees looking to go to 28 or 29. keeping hos running so it don't freeze.

At my place ,12 miles north of lake okeechobee ,Jan. 2009     we had a few nites in the upper teens
Out of 12 mature jaboticabas I lost 2. some had minor burns  on leaves. One grimmel froze half
way . In 2010 we temps in the teens with only minor damage

I have had good success sprouting jaboticabas with little or no preparation. I left a bowl of fruit in the refrigarator for near 4 weeks , the skins dried
like prunes after removing the seeds most sprouted and grew  well.

Har   The seeds that i got from you in august have started to spout

will have seeds

Yes it's bignay.My trees are coming back after being
frozin to the ground a few times since the freez of 09
 Before that i had a heavy crop . I did not make jams
but I did make a good wine Doctor Fairchild brougnt
 bignay back from the Philipins to the Kanpon.
 I have soom varation in seedlings

The rollinia and sugar apple are both good tasting fruit. the rollinia is a more vigoris growing tree.my trees grew over the roof of my house. Ihad to use a ladder and a long pole to pick
the fruit whenI gave some fruit to a ladyfrom trinadad,
she came back shortly with large milk shake.Great tast.
  To me sugar apple is more a dessart finger fruit. You can't
 go wrong with either

 Years ago I planted a black sapote seedling at merrit island
   I went back last year ,found one on grond with seeds
 I picked a dozen off the tree to eat and to get seeds. As eachfruit ripend there was no seeds .I have 5 seedlings from that one fruit
 . I just put a graft from that tree
         I was at Undbeleable acres years back and had a
 fruit from his seedless black sapote . It had seeds.
    The tree at merrit island is the only one there
