Hello tomas,I would say from my liminted experince the M.cauliflora-wich Adam calls
 M.jaboticaba is the most cold hardy. For three years in a row it has taken below 20  F
for a few hours. I lost ablue grape -M.vexitore  and the Gremmals  -M.? were hurt.
  the M. cauliflora has small leaves . Like Adam says may be an indicater of cold hardyness

Oscar-you need to wait untill most of the berrys turn dark- they don't all rippen evanly. The
berrys are small.I took a rollen pin and crushed them and continue muchthe same as
jabotacaba . many years  ago i folled  a papre - Wine and brew ByYoufrom the miami rare fruit
plant sale

Good morning puglvr- at 7am it was 30 degrees here  at my zip code it gave 33
degrees .I only saw frost on my car . every things looks ok

Tropicdude - Airlayering is not rocket science.  Go cut off some branches that you can practice on.  Cut the bark down to the hardwood, if the comes off easy or it slips clean inspect it - Look for a good clean section between the cuts, get the feel of it before you actually do it for real.

Leo- Sadly along some grafted seedlings the airlayer died after a freeze.
I got my seeds from a tree at the Mounts Botanical Garden another large tree is at
the Fairchild Garden in Miami. From the Manual Of Tropical And Subtropical Fruits
byWilson Popenoe 1920 edition--Christefer Colmbus described the fruit of the West Indies as big as a large lemon. It is a large tree .fruit is round 4 to 6 inches in diam
ater.favor is subacid and pleasent used as a sauce ,perserves ,and jam
 after 6 to 7 years to fruit they bear regulary and abundantly.

 hollywood,I've lost more black sapote from taking the the seed off the leaves of new sprouts . they take a long time to drop,but I find its best to let it drop on its own
  It seems that fading lables are a universal problem for most of us. I think untilwe a better method  sinking them in the soil as Oscar says may be best. losing the Id of
our pets is unforgiveable
   

Years ago the greatplant guru Lamond Hardy, said at a fall RFC meeting that if your mango did not fruit. You could gurdel it. I had a mature tree Two months after girdling the tree flowerd and then set fruit.

papayas and sweet potatoes and eggfruit
