My red jaboticaba plant has been on the ground for about 2 weeks now.However after several days in the new site i noticed the leaf turning brown.Before i moved it to the ground it was in a poly planter bag and already in full sun without any damage to the leaves.Could the leaf browning be caused by transplant shock,intense sunlight at the new site,nutrient deficiency or pesticide spray? i did spray the plant after finding some ants on the plant.I water the plant using river water and rainwater if it does not rain and the soil is acidic.Just as a precaution i built a shade to protect the plant yesterday.Can anyone here help me on how deal with this issue?

Yesterday I went to the zoo to get scions of a beautyfull bright red reticulata I just discover last week when I took my 10 years old boy; the problem is that is inside a little Island set on a pond where is the home of the spider monkeys; to get there I have to cross the pond with hundreds of hungry carp fish,
I wasn't lucky cause the encharged Who authorized me to come back to pick the wood was out of the city; since I was there and I knew a few Lucmoncillo trees on the river, I decided to go and take a look; to my surprise I found this tree with a few small, unripe fruits and still flowering ; unusual cause usually by this time season is over; the problem with this tree is so tall that fruit is unreachable; I was lucky to find a single one perfectly ripe on the ground! It was on its prime; superb lemons sweet gelato/pye flavor/consistency; amazing fruit













PD anybody knows how to upload video? I want to show one of the lucmoncillo environment

How tall can a limoncillo tree grow?

Wow that is great knowing that longkong has fruited in mexico.I know how it feels to be treated that way by friends.At least it is great to know that longkong can fruit in Puerta Vallarta which has an annual rainfall below 1400mm.Are the trees planted next to a river or being irrigated ? How far up are you from sea level Luc? Just for your information in the north coast of east java and madura island fruit trees like mangosteen,langsat and durian are planted at hill slopes about 200 to 400 metres which receives about or more than 2000mm rains annually.Lowlands areas have annual rainfall of between 1000mm to 1800mm and has a dry season of about 5months.From the answers that i get from people living there ( i asked them online from indo facebook group ) those trees dont do well in dry areas with pronounced dry season.Maybe they could be wrong because north coast of east java and madura island are well known limestone areas and have soil with high pH.In the island of madura they make housebricks from limestone chiseled from limestone hills

Well after almost a 5 year wait I have my first open bloom on one of my Mexican Garcinia plants! I planted seeds in August 2007! I really think it that it would have fruited sooner if I had taken better care of it! I have kept it pruned to about 36 inches tall. I am also growing it in a 5 gallon Rootmaker pot. I know when I spoke to Luc about it he said that is usually takes 7 to 8 years to fruit from seed in Mexico if I recall correctly. Also my plants went through several tough winters in Texas! Here is a photo of my first open bloom.

Did it develop into fruit? How many times did the tree flowered.Am eager to find out

Well most pulasan flowers are self fertile and will turn into fruits from what i see here in Malaysia.Good luck bro and congratulation 

Here are the two species.
My round shape species fruits for the first time, too. Another species seems to be oval and longer shape.

How old is the tree? Is it grafted or from seeds

Here's my 45 day old red jabo seedling and more than 13cm tall.Can anyone tell me whether the plant looks healthy or not or have signs of deficiencies?

Of the 15 seeds I received from Oscar only four sprouted and grew into a beautiful seedling.Due to lack of space i gave three to my friend who has a huge orchard at the back of his house.My first thought was to let them fruit in pots but at my house i seem to have ants making nest in my flower pots.I will post some pictures of my red jaboticaba seedling later

I'd like to grow few acres on commercial basis. Unfortunately there is very little information available on practical growing. Even though elevation is 630 meters, I think climate is not a problem since many ultra-tropicals like durians and mangosteens are right in the area. My biggest concern is adequate rainfall. Publications mention that cempedak likes climate with no true dry season. We have 2200 mm annual rainfall, with monsoon seasons from May to August and October to January. There is a chance of occasional very brief showers in between. Is this going to be enough for good growth and productive crop? Also can cempedak be pruned like some commercial jackfruit plantations 3-4 meters height only?

BTW, I think the best cempedak I've tasted was dark orange meat in Kuching, Sarawak, but that area gets insane 4200 mm annual rainfall. That's the clone I want grow but vast difference in rainfall makes me wonder...Any tips appreciated.

Hi there sorry for my late reply.I think the rainfall in your area is adequate to grow cempedak.I know this because cempedak can even be grown in areas with less than 2000mm of rain and with short dry season maybe about 3 months.Those areas are in Java Indonesia and so dont worry about it.Btw how is your cempedak tree doing

I am going to repost this here as i realize i posted it in wrong thread about Lucangosteen. Sorry if you've already seen it.

I took this photo today. It is of the largest of a row of Lucangosteens i have planted. This plant is about 7 feet tall. The others a bit smaller. They are in full sun.

wow what a beautiful plant.How old is the tree oscar?

I don't remember exactly but probably somewhere around 3-4 years old from seed. This tree was completely neglected and I'm sure it would have fruit sooner if I actually took care of it. I transplanted it into a larger pot last year and started watering and fertilizing it properly and it exploded with new growth.

Arvind, take care of those seedlings and you'll probably get fruit in 3 years or less.

Thanks for the advice.Btw beautiful red jaboticaba that you have there.How many times does it fruit in one year?

Thanks for the advice.The plant only gets sunlight till afternoon and the soil is acid between 5 to 5.5. I sowed the seed on laterite soil mixed with river silt and grass clipping compost.It has been putting new leaves frequently
