Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: jaboticaba prunning
« on: March 01, 2018, 05:27:09 AM »
Yes, is a good pratice to prune jaboticabas to get more fruits.
Remove the lower branches and the ones that grows to inside of the canopy. Also remove the bad formed branches.
Other thing important for jabos is water. Don´t let she dry. ;)

Humm..... It can be the what we call here Jabuticaba-Açú, which is a Paulista var.
Other interesting thing to know: Coronata normally grows like a tall tree (over 20m sometimes). Açú is lower and the canopy is more "openned". ;)

Marcos, your Guabiju fruited in just four years?! How tall is that tree?
To my knowledge, Guabiju usually fruits only after 7-8 years.

By otherside, I read somewhere that in Uruguay and Argentina exists a var that can fruit when just in 1m tall. Do you know that var, or... is yours that var?

It looks like what we call "Hybrid" or "Precoce" jabuticaba here in Brasil.
The time to set fruits for the first time (about 4 years), also reinforces my conclusion. ;)
Precoce can produce fruits several times a year. ;)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Growing fruit trees in pots
« on: December 20, 2017, 01:41:16 PM »
First, excuse me if I made use of bad words to explain what I have here, But I´m not sure about how to translate some words from portuguese to english. ;)

Almost all of the fruit trees that I have are in pots. From 30cm x 30 cm (the smallest) up to 80cm x 50 cm (the largest).
They have holes just in the bottom.
I put expanded clay at bottom, covered with bidim blanket, then a thin layer of sand. After that the soil mixture and the tree.
Afeter two years, I do root pruning and soil renewall.

I have jabuticaba, citros, lychee, dovyalis, pitanga, blackberry, guava and other fruit trees producing. Not a lot of fruits, of course, but I am happy anyway. :)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Best tasting Eugenia for pot culture? How does aggregata rate?
« on: October 03, 2017, 06:57:34 AM »
Cherry of Rio Grande is in fact Eugenia Involucrata.
Agregata is Guapijuim, a similar species.
And there is Eugenia Calycina too, which is other similar species.

Involucrata can vary a lot in size, color and taste. All of the 3 species pointed above can fruit in pots. I never had an Agregata, nor a Calycina, in my hands, so, I can´t tell you the taste.
About Involucrata, you must do a good seek to be sure that you found a good var., but yeah, they can be very good fruits. ;)

« on: October 03, 2017, 06:39:52 AM »
WOW!!!! She is a beauty Marcos! Congrats!
At least here, looks like that after a rainy and more cold time (this year, from may to august), uniflora can flowers much more.
My red var flowered a lot too:

Click over the photos to see them in full size



The dwarf var (from cerrado) also flowered:



I also have a black var(with big leafs) that will take at least one year before to fruit.

Hi, so, if we in the U.S.A want to order from E-Jardim, can we? Will the seeds arrive? I love the webpage but, since I don't speak Portuguese I'm a bit concerned. Any info would be appreciated. Best regards, Chris

He speaks english. Drop a note to him.

Cool Cassio, but I cant find any info on the net about your jaboticaba sapucaia, neither at e-jardim

http://www.e-jardim.com/resultado_busca.asp?Cat=1&pagina=1&palavrachave=&lista=1

what/how would she be?


Marcos, there is a photo of a bigger tree available under the facebook account of "Eduardo Jardim". ;)
In fact, this is a var of a better known species (I just do not remember which is). What makes her different is the color of their leafs, which are rose when young, later reddish and light green in the end. It makes her an ornamental beauty as you can see in my photo above. Cause the color of the young leafs that ressembles a sapucaia tree, she was named "sapucaia" by e-jardim.

Beleza total Cassio, what is that jaboticaba? where did you got it?

Obrigado Marcos!

The grafted Sapucaia I bought from e-jardim (Rio de Janeiro)
The grafted Coroada da Restinga I bought from São José do Rio Preto

But I also have a Sabará and two hybrids (also known as "precoce" var), all of them with young fruits for now.
I also have a Blue jabo, but I think she will take more 1 or 2 years before to fruit.

yes... I will get crazy soon: so Adam thinks it is paulista, but Helton thinks it is a wild coronata, but you think it cant be coronata because it is too young 7 or 8 years old to flower? hey, lets meet together and fight!

Maybe it is coronata and I just fertilized it ok

Maybe it is paulista and it is ok...

I dont know

If it is coronata or something else, we will find it with the first fruits

Yeah, is pretty hard to do a good identification. Even with fruits in hand, sometimes it isn´t a precise job.
What matters is that she is fruiting, all the rest is just history. ;)
Just enjoy the fruits.  8)

beautiful how old is the plant?

I´m not sure...
She is grafted, and was bought in 2014. This is the second time she blooms.
Pot is 80cm tall by 50 cm in the "mouth". ;)

Thanks Cassio, coming from a brazilian man, it sounds good! crossing fingers for her! and it would be nice it fruits, as I dont know if it is paulista or wild coronata...


Coronata takes years before to fruit. Some vars can take up 20 years, and become a huge tree! Take a look: http://loucosporjabuticaba.blogspot.com.br/2010/10/fotos-de-jabuticaba-paulista.html
I think yours is to much young.

Jabuticaba "sapucaia" (grafted) in a pot. Just for the sake of her beauty.
It will take years before to bloom...

One month is a long time to stay alive. Did you choose EMS or priority mail service?

The scions that Raul sent me survived 35 days in transit.
Is about these scions that I´m talking about in my previous post in this thread. Yeah, these scions are strong. :)

Abimael, Raul are you able to access the website?
I always see the message "Under construction" when visiting "frutasraras.com". Looks like they block access from some countries.



I´m from Brasil.
The site is really under (re)construction.
You will have to wait, or you can contact Adhemar Gomes da Silva (the owner) via Facebook. ;)
