I believe many of us would have loved to have come across these trees offered in a nursery. Larger, closer to fruit specimens too big to ship. Would you mind showing some pics?

Viva!
I really like them. They bring me good childhood memories. I used to feast of them next door to my house in Northeast Brasil. I grow five (5) caulifloras; one (1) coronata; and one (1) glazioviana here in Fort Myers. I am also trying to germinate some seeds of myrciaria trunciflora; myrciaria aureana; and some seeds of plinia rivularis. I have never tried to graft jabuticabas, but this week I spoke with Julian Lara in Miami and he said that his nursery sells grafted jabuticabas. If you guys want Julian's info, just send me a messsage or email.

Hi Adam, yes jaboticabas can be grafted. The easiest is to do an approach graft. In Brazil they told me they do cleft graft and also works well. A friend in Israel also told me he started jaboticaba succesfully from cuttings.

Thanks for the pics. For some time now, we've been trying to identify a few jaboticabas that members have here. They fruit on the end of the branches instead of cauliferous. Maybe Stressbaby and Gerry will post some pics for us???
Ohio is always ready to bring poor stragglers out from the cold. Adam...what brings you to Ohio often?
