Jaboticabaholics Anonymous

[TheDom]

I potted up 70 red jaboticaba seedlings today, and after dividing will have at least another 19. I didn't realize the seeds were polyembryonic until I was seeing 3-5 shoots and taproots coming from a couple of the larger seeds. A friend said he had good luck dividing them so I figured I might as well try. I split the largest one off of the seed, and for the smaller ones tried to leave some of the seed attached to them as possible.
3 plants, one seed.


Lots o' pots full of future stuff to push on the neighborhood kids.

it's not a bad time of the year for a jaboticabaholic like myself.

plenty of choices to make:

Grimal Jaboticaba (myrciaria sp.)


Blue Jaboticaba (myrciaria vexator)

Red Jaboticaba (myrciaria cauliflora hybrid)

White Jaboticaba (myrciaria aureana)

Cambuca grafted on the sabara,growth is very strong.
And early flowering~~

[FlyingFoxFruits]

Great pics!

Congrats

I wasn't able to graft cambuca onto sabara...I gave up after several failures.  I was only able to graft cambuca onto trunciflora.

Just be planting ten months.
common red jabu hybrid

Are you saying this is a 10 month old seedling that's holding a fruit? That's gotta be some sort of record if so.

Yes, from small seedlings(about 10cm) planting to flowering fruits of about ten months

Yes, from small seedlings(about 8-10cm) planting to flowering fruits of about ten months

wow i thought that tree was a rooted cutting, it's much more spectacular if that is a seedling tree!


I wonder how many seedlings you had to plant before you found this extra precocious specimen?!

thanks for sharing this earthshaking discovery!

time to rewrite the textbooks.

red jabu cuttings



vexator cuttings

wow, great! how did you made it? I think you need a shaded, humid, and hot place

Ok so could someone provide a brief introduction on how I will tell the differences between the varieties and or species.

example I know of the small leaf,, large leaf and yellow species only so far

Grafted into sabara first anniversary.
Terrible growth. Than seedling by seed

[kyo12315k]

My grafting techniques.The specie is Escarlate.
i have about 10,000 graft seedlings

[FlyingFoxFruits]

cool pics thanks for sharing!!!

Uau!!! Looks excellent! You´re the first I see that got success grafting a cambuca over a jabuticaba. And is very good to know it.
I did a graft like this too (but with a thin branch, more like a cocktail tree), but no new leafs until now. Anyway, you gave me hope!

I've grafted toothpick size scions but haven't tried anything as small as yours. Thanks for sharing.

I believe the method used in this photo was a chip bud...i have done this before several times, it's very easy.

the small sprout emerged from the chip that's beneath the red tape.

My beefness, Adam. That's pretty slick cowboy.

That's some serious skills  there. Have you grafted anything this small before?

Smaller u say?

Well..technically the cuts are larger, but the scion may be less massive...here's a tiny patch graft I did on a M.jaboticaba, where I slapped on some Red jabo budwood.  It's taken nicely, and even shed the bark somewhat, leaving a cool pattern!

[Delvi83]

As I saw, many of you grow it in pot....and it seems that this specie likes the pot (seem old plant and they bear fruit) !!! I will try....

[Cassio]

Here they are. My two grafts of cambucá over (the same) jabuticaba tree.

cambuca grafting,Thicker Shoots higher failure rate.
Choose a short and tender Shoots, the success rate will increase

[kyo12315k]

In China, many people have taken cuttings propagation.
Quantity terrible, cambuca is one hundred thousand breeding.
In my country, the common red jabuticaba reproduction is one million seedlings a year.
Very, very large Quantity.

Thanks for sharing the pics and info!

Do you know of any new varieties, mutations, or hybrids that have been created or selected in China?
