Stumbled onto this recent (Jan 2) video tour and thought you all might like to see some large Plinias, Eugenias and other trees.
I didn't know that Plinia Nana (@7:14) was a "free stone" jabo or that it was even a possibility. Is anyone trying to breed this characteristic into new hybrids?
Also fun to see larger trees that I have small seedlings of like the E. Minutifolia (@17:49), E. Patrisii (@18:55) and E. Dysenterica (@22:05)
Youtube now has an auto-translate for audio which I thought was a bit clunky so I just turned on subtitles and left it in Portuguese. Very cool to see how auto-translation has really broken down the barrier to seeing and understanding more Brazilian made content.
