In case you didn't know, that one's been going by "Watermelon" also. Seedlings have been sold on eBay over the last 6 months. I'm sure grafted trees will pop up in a year or so once people's trees have grown out a bit. It was just introduced to the US last year.
I'd be happy to help once my little trees are big enough to cut. It will be a while.
This is such a beautiful Jabuticaba! I have been wanting one of these too. Maybe after I collect a few more, like Joe said, there will be more availability or scions.

Currently looking for this variety as well
Good luck it’s been a year and I’ve bid over ten different times with no luck. I’m guessing we’re going to be better off waiting until someone’s tree starts producing fruit.
I just listed one for auction. Sorry for the high starting price. I paid a lot just to get the seed.Cheers and good luck! http://ebay.us/RJzpkE?cmpnId=5338273189
Your looking, he responded by offering. What’s the issue here, couldn’t be more to the point.
Your right , what was I thinking commenting on a forum.How was shiloh to know you don’t want to buy one on Ebay, I doubt he reads minds.Your better off finding rare Jabo’s or anything else by being nice.Hot tip: most of the new rare or hard to find jabo’s only end up on ebay. Good luck.
Good luck on finding a Plinia Watermelon any time soon not on eBay. It is a new introduction and is highly sought after. Actually putting a posting looking for it on here probably won’t help in you finding it at a lower price because it just increased more people interested in that variety. Your best bet was to ask one of the eBay sellers if they will let you know when they do another auction and hope less bidders notice it. I have been outbid countless times just means someone else wanted more than me or I should of put a higher bid right at the ending.

Payment directly to the grower is what I was looking to do not pay online state taxes and ebay fees that do not go right the people that take the time and risk. That is why I posted this in February of last year.
i may have missed out, but did you end up getting one for yourself or still looking?
