The Tropical Fruit Forum

Awesome thank you both! Sounds like a plan to leave them all and create a jabo goblet I never would've thought of that. Thanks again!

Best of luck! Hope you're able to save the tree. I'll guess 786

34 or 41

One of the red hybrid jabos I bought last year also just fruited, such a nice surprise!! Very happy with everything I've purchased from Kevin, it was helpful seeing reviews from other forum members.
 

Hi, can anyone recommend late season grape varieties for Central FL that fruit in fall? e.g. Granny Val, Late Fry?

Looking for a replacement for Southern Home grapes which haven't done well. Thanks in advance!

My understanding is you can root cuttings (source: https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/HS1449), though I haven't tried this.

Hi, do you ever sell the fruit? I'd love to be able to try these sometime (and your other orange fruit). USPS shipping usually takes only a day or two within FL when I've bought plants before locally. Thank you!

Looks like Planting Justice also offers Kanko but currently out of stock, plus they serve a great purpose: https://plantingjustice.org/shop/fruit-trees/loquats/kanko-loquat-organic/

Glad you mentioned this, I ordered a Strawberry, Avri, and Japanese raisin tree. Good luck with your search!

Thank you so much for the extras!! Hoping they all take.

Around here, they can fruit prolifically in the ground in part shade. I haven't noticed as many fruit on the ones growing vertically up trees, but they're mostly grown as ornamental landscape plants, rather than for fruit production.

Sent you a PM. Thanks!

I have shippable size and scions available for reasonable price.

Do you by chance still have any scions available? Thank you!

Also when do I eat it?

I ate my scarlettes when they were red, heavy, chunky, juicy and big.    For black varieties, it should be totally black, I guess...

I was tempted to wait till it fell off the tree. Would it be spoiled by then?

I wouldn't wait! They may go bad.

What's the variety? If it's an astringent type (e.g. Sabara, Grimal, coronata, grandiflora) then you need to wait until it's deep color and slightly soft, otherwise it'll taste awful.

If it's a non-astringent variety (e.g. red jabo, trunciflora, phitrantha, anomaly) then should be fine to eat early.

Flying Fox Fruits had a youtube video about this that was really helpful to understand. I'd been harvesting Sabara too early and they were nasty. With Sabara, it needs to be almost black and have some give (not hard).
