No, it is similar,
But smell of leaves is different!

this is same tree we tried  figure out if paulista or coronata?

you have flowers coming right?

now i see more pics i hadn't seen before, i guess i agree with Helton, it looks more like coronata than pualista,,, congrats on your flowers

Ah,ok, maybe wild coronata... we dont have flowers yet :-S

I agree, they are amazing trees even if they never flower of fruit. Some weeks ago a collector who is an agronomist from Misiones (land of jaboticabas!) told me that the jaboticabas have a phenomenon called "cauliflorus", and it is assumed that the flower buds are in the trunk months or years before opening ... but I find it very incredible ... so what species is your jaboticaba? (coronata, sabará?) age? very nice

I took a look at mine, it has similar bumps on the trunk and larger branches, it has yet to bloom also, but it doing very well.  I think it's practically doubled in size over the last year or 9 months.

Maybe they are future buds, once the tree is ready??  I guess we'll see.  I do love my Jab, even if it never blooms, it's just such a gorgeous tree, it reminds me of a very large bonsai tree, if there could be such.

Here is a pic of my Jab. In the back left is a poor little Satsuma orange tree (I know it's technically a tangerine).  I had to cage it off as the deer kept eating every single flush of new growth it had, almost killed it.

Hello. I am curious. Did you grow and fruit Albertia Patinoi aka Borojo in Argentina? How easy is it to grow outside it's native climate range?
Cheers.

Hi, no no, I sow many of them yesterday because I received fresh seeds from a friend at Ecuador. I am selling the rest of them. I think this species would be fine just in the tropics. But I will try to keep them warm into my house by the winter (as I do with biribá, guanabana, jackfruit and others).

Interested in arranging a purchase. I can't see an option to inbox you. Can you send me a PM please.

PM sent, we can use mail or whatsapp too (54 2364544750).

New seeds and species, fresh janyuary 2018 harvest, please let me know if you are interested in cocona (solanum sessilimflorum), averrhoa bilimbi, tamarindus indica, dovyalis hebecarpa, physalis peruviana or solanum quitoense and I will put a price for them too.

Maybe these are sweet ubajays?  the uvaia leaf looks weird, I dont know

more ubajays:

Adam: This photo of yours looks very similar to my ubajay (hexachlamis edulis)

http://postimg.org/image/wqhvldjq1/
("Seedling E. pyriformis (large leaf type, not sure of the proper varietal name)")

i gave that tree to a friend, (I wish I would have kept one...I had two large trees...but sold the last one).

my friends tree actually fruited...but the only time I was there to get a fruit, it was under ripe...I ate it anyway, and I could imagine it has a wonderful flavor if properly ripened...much like Eugenia stipitata, just not as intensely sour.

this species is definitely not the same as Eugenia myrcianthes (hexachlamis edulis)!

I have eaten both fruits, and have seen both trees side by side....totally different.

Ok, but it looks so different to uvaia and so similar to ubajay, maybe it is another unknown species?

Here at Argentina many collectors often confuse between ubajay and uvaia

It hasn't fruited or flowered yet so we have only the leaves to go on. I have a couple variations of E. myrcianthes (aka Hexachlamys edulis) and they look very different from this plant. Eugenia is such a mysterious and confusing genus.

My other Eugenia pyriformis plants (sourced from the highly reputable Miguel.pt) have tiny leaves and look totally different.

All I can say is that uvaia is the most ubajay looking one! But it could be uvaia, being that there are so much variations of them. Maybe we can smell crushed leaves?

What about if you crush the leaves of ubajay and smell them and then you do that with this uvaia and with the other uvaias?

For instance, my ubajay leaves smell is soft... maybe similar to grass, but my uvaia leaves smell is stronger and "acid", myrtaceae smell...

That looks delicious!

Do you find a lot of variability in the taste, size and sweetness of all your Uvaia’s?

Hi, thanks, not too much, this year I realised I have 2 species or 2 varieties (maybe more but one of them didnt fruited yet): one of them is sweet/acid and the other one is acid. Maybe both are pyriformis but I dont know. The sweet one could be an hybrid of pyriformis x lutescens. The acid one has rough skin, but I know there are sweet uvaias with rough skin too.

I know that you have trees from a lot of different sources and I was wondering how variable the different fruits and flavors are.

Very variable, I read that at Brazil they say they can get 30 varieties or so...
