I don't believe yield is improved with multiple specimens. Each flower will produce a fruit, ie, there is no need for cross pollination.
Hi, one is never enough. Why not have dozens of different kinds? Space/time to fruition are the usual players but, i would still try and squeeze a few in here and there. I have "Sabara"s" that fruit almost non-stop and i appreciate their effort and their beauty. Each to their own, but I love having/caring for them. Best regards, Chris
how did that greenhouse work out for you? the one i see in the picture from 2015?
I will try to get pics of my G. gardneriana for you, so we can compare leaves, yours does look a little funny now that i see 2015 pics, reminds me of gardneriana more i suppose...it would be nice if it was brasiliensis (maybe a superior form) or even gardneriana, or achachairu...they're all good eating fruits.
Seller was probably right. You'll find out when it fruits
Ok, but what are the differences betweet achachairu fruit and pacurí fruit?
Besides obvious differences in the fruit, there are differences in new growth, leaves, ends/tips of branches are slightly different as well. When you have new growth pushing out from the tips take photos and post it here. That will help
Interested!
How does this fruit taste?
Escarlate is the sweetestbeing just a shade sweeter than red hybrid. Sabara is also sweet of course. Vexator has a plum like quality with maroon flesh near the skin but with thick skin and large seeds the flesh yield is low.
Seller was probably right. You'll find out when it fruits
Not Achachairu. Stems/tips and leaves are different
I also would have guessed achacha
Looks like my achacha?
Before the cold nights defoliated mine. Hopefully will leaf back out this Spring
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?
Marcos, Coronata has elongated leafs, redish when young.
lol, maybe the other post was of paulista, this one coronata...and it helped confuse me for the other post.
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
hey i thought those were flowers coming??
btw, you can easily tell once they fruit...the paulista kind of has a crown, but it's just not the same as real coronata, which has much more prominent apical disk.
