I have a lot of success with etsy, you can look around quite a bit and there seems to be seller somewhere on the site for EVERYTHING, most of the time people have the $35 free shipping thing going so if they're a good shop you can get a lot without paying a ton. Etsy support is really good at getting you your money back if its the wrong plant/dead on arrival etc.

Small shops like to trade and stuff too, unless you have a reason to limit to ebay I'd try there

Do you have any sources on etsy for plinias or eugenias?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Any tips or successes on jabo air layering?
« on: November 20, 2022, 07:59:33 PM »
I read through all the past posts on jabo air layering and wanted to make this topic current again.

Have any methods become more successful than others?

Best time of year to attempt?

Better hormone to use?

Or any tips on general?

Thank you!

Congrats! Always exciting when a jabo first fruits. I still have not had a jabo fruit from seed or seedling. I did just buy a big cocktail jabo and the red graft is fruiting so at least I can finally join the excitement of having a fruiting jabo!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Incredible jaboticaba collection
« on: July 26, 2021, 10:03:10 PM »
That’s amazing! I only have 1 generic jaboticaba from seed, can only imagine how much effort it took to get that large a collection.

Yes, but who else on this forum has a bigger Theobroma collection than you. Probably not many people.

It is easier today to create a big jaboticaba collection than it was a few years ago. More varieties have been imported. More breeding and propagation has occurred. I say that not to lessen Luiz's achievements; he might have a top-ten in the country type of jaboticaba collection with grafted examples of some really rare varieties. I have not had time to watch the whole video, but I have already favorited it alongside tours of Adam Shafran and John Travis Morton's collections. I say it to encourage TomekK to collect more jaboticabas. After all, in two years, I went from zero jaboticabas in my collection to almost twenty varieties/species of Plinias and Myrciarias.

I've truly learned to never despise the day of small beginnings. It's amazing how a little interest turns into 1 plant, then curiosity & interest grows into 5 plants, then passion kicks in and all of a sudden you're surrounded by plants. Definitely an encouraging collection.
