Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Congrats kevin! I'll be watching for thoes scions lol.

Heres another picture of variegated paulista I forgot I took a while back the leaves were nicer then.

The yellowing is from the leaves dying it's usually white/green no yellow variegation. My tree came from the source who initially introduced it to usa a few years ago, I'm not sure theres more than one variation of the variegated paulista yet like we have with some of the other varieties.

It looks alot like my variegated paulista. I could take a pic when I get home.

Not sure the variety of it honestly. Iv had it for 2 or 3 years came from Thailand shipped to me from germany. The spot I had it during the summer I would guess it got 6-7 hrs of full sun and it did fine, havent had it out in all day sun yet.

Iv got 2 seedling grimals, one I chopped to keep short the other i let grow both are in 3 gal ~7yrs old. The one I didnt chop flowered around 5-6 yrs old and has been setting fruit for about 1-1.5yrs and I'm still waiting for the chopped one to even flower lol. This could just be a stubborn tree but I'm convinced it was from the chop.

You would have to watch for a grafted tree from him.

The only jaboticaba I was really taken back with in flavor was the mozies. Iv tried quite a few different varieties and they do all have a somewhat common flavor, but the mozies tastes like a sweeter passionfruit easily my favorite jaboticaba!

I'd guess grimal too!

It depends, maybe your taste buds like only sweet. I don't think the fruits on my tree is bad, it doesn't taste like a cherry sweet, but it is not as bad as some other fruits I have tasted. Personal taste.

It's one of my favorite fruit. Some varieties taste much better than others, so if you've tasted one that wasn't that good, you should still try other cultivars.

It's one of my favorites too! Every fruit is subjective to taste. My echo sweet is the only one that has fruited so far it did take about 2 flowerings for it to set fruit. Itll flower like crazy and not set much fruit. I added 3 other varieties to cross pollinate but are still to small to flower enough to make a difference. The echo sweet tastes a bit like a starfruit but without much sweetness I dont think it's that sour but my wife does lol. These are what I look forward to if the birds dont get em first. Just picked some echo sweet a few days ago with some jabos.
