Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Biggest and best ( sweetest ) jaboticaba ?
« on: April 18, 2013, 10:22:51 PM »Very interesting Dude this A. Grimal and his place sounds like it was the place at one time, thanks for posting.I am not familiar with the name ' Grimal ' , googling i find it is the spiritosantensis , who is Grimal ?
Do you have this fruiting Ed ?
I have the trunciflora still years away from fruit .
Really curious about the coronata .
Grimal, the "Reticent Plantsman" !!
One of the greats, probably my favorite fruit collector to hear stories about...a retired engineer...of German descent (?)...who was an amazing plant collector.
That is why I always call the M. spirito-santensis "Grimal"...and not fuzzy...out of respect for Adolf...who introduced this species in to USA.
( I found a neat forum thread about Grimal's property, http://www.city-data.com/forum/miami/792918-bizarre-house-west-homestead-2.html kind of funny to hear )
