Mike says... nickg if it is the standard sabara jaboticaba it can fruit any time after it reached about 2m or about 5 years old.Extra fertliser and water can bring flowering on.The larger leaf grimal jaboticaba is similar in this way. If we could bring new jaboticabas into australia the ones with shorter juvenile periods and larger fruit would be great.Red hybrid and vexator are 2 of the best of these.Those that take longer include great species like M.trunciflora and cambuca.Ireckon the yellows are pretty ordinary.white jaboticaba is in Australia and taste good but they are rare. Myrtaceae restrictions are hereto stay and if you get seeds sent remember peat moss and sphagnum can no longer be used in seed packing in parcels fro overseas. | About the Author Cairns 2nd February 2013 9:35am #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jenny says... Do my eyes deceive me or are these flower buds on my large-leaf jab?! FINALLY! And in winter too?! Perhaps it got the message when I whacked it with the broom last spring, but extra water probably didn't hurt, either ;) Or am I getting excited too soon?

John Mc says... Mine's gotta be close to flowering surely. 2m+ high and at least 5-6yo.I'll take your advice Mike and feed it up. Thinking maybe 2 parts B&B, 2 parts MgSO4, 1 part Potassium Sulphate? we've had plenty of rain lately so at least I'm half way there. If I remember correctly, Jujube Lucy fed her young Jab up well and brought on flowering well before it's time. | About the Author JohnMc1 14th June 2013 8:43pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Hi Jenny, sure looks promising! Is your plant in ground or pot? (I'm just wondering how pot grown ones do over time, as I don't have a good spot for my Jabs until windbreaks grow). Good luck! John, sounds like a good mix to try. I'm a bit shy fertilising my Jabs after causing a bit of leaf burn once. I think it may have been too much nitrogen. Does anyone have Jabs watered by treated water from home treatment plants? Not sure if the salts in this water are too low to worry about if the plant is in-ground (drainage good) - this would be one good spot to plant. | About the Author VF 15th June 2013 9:44am #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... Yep your M.spirito santensis will have a few flowers soon and probably not set fruit. They fruit only once a year and sometimes twice. It will be perhaps 3 years from now that it has its first good crop. Fertilise and water well as soon as it warms up and you never know.They produce fewer fruit than the common M.jaboticaba var. sabara. | About the Author Cairns 15th June 2013 7:29pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Hi VF - if u take a sample of your treated water down to a hardware store that does pool water testing - they should be able to test the salt level for you...would be worth it as (in my experience..) Jab's don't like salty water... That's a heap of Magnesium sulphate in that mix John Mc - fascinating!? | About the Author amanda19 Leschenault (150km south of Perth) 16th June 2013 10:25am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... Sorry I was looking at John's sabara picture.My grimal has a bucket of great fruit and they are better than sabara but I could just be a bit sick of those.I am busting for my escarlate,red hybrid,vexator,coronatas,giant yellows,whites and a range of big plinias to grow up and fruit.Cambuca,dwarf mulchi,giant mulchi and Plinia rivularis are really jaboticabas being in the genus Plinia where all existing jaboticabas will be moved to some day. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 2nd December 2014 9:06am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... This is my white jaboticaba 2 years old now. It grows slow but the branches can't keep themselves up. If i don't stake them they all droop. I saw other white jabo's on the web and they don't have that. What can i do to make them have stronger branches? My other white jabo's have the same problem, i pruned one so it looked like a real tree but after it grew they are drooping again. This one is in a 100 litre pot and gets watered citywater daily by sprinkler. It gets cowdung sometimes and osmocote 13-13-13. Also monthly sprays with seaweedextract.

joshua says... Yes the whiTe had a similar growth habit to the yellow. weeping.100l pot should do it for some time. I recently have seen 3m sabara plants in a 150l pot. Ibe had a good response to the red hybrid searching from the tropical fruit forum and have been given a small plant and sourced some seed in a us.

Bangkok says... I planted it in full soil now but the rootball was still small, would also fit in a 20 litre pot. It gets full sun untill 3 pm. I don't stake it anymore, Just let it weep and do it's thing. Mike your tree looked more like a real tree i remember, no weeping branches. Mine looks like a weeping willow. When i sprouted these seeds they grew 10cm and then died...then sprouted again and at 10 cm died again..That happened 4-5 times in row and then they finally grew through that. Am i right that from white jaboticaba one can eat the peel as well? | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 3rd February 2016 2:08am #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkokii says... Here is my first white jaboticaba after 4 years growing from seed. The other tree is in a big pot but didn't bloom yet. This one was small, maybe i picked it too early but the taste was very very good...like a sweet/sour candy. Can we also eat the seed of this one? I had another fruit which dropped. It bloomed after i gave it draughtstress because it's next to my durian which is also blooming now.
