Delicious fruit.  Can fruit several times a year, with only short time between flowering and harvesting.  May be many years though before tree starts bearing. Planted early Feb. and has grown 2-3 inches on most tips in 2 1/2 months. I planted in a mound over an under-ground spring - so far so good!

Jaboticaba - Yellow (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

This is probably my favourite shrub to look at. Beautiful velvetty lime green new foliage, darkening to a deep green. Brances and trunks are quite rough barked, so gather moss, which is quite ornamental too. It tends to grow up only a little every flush, then the branches all head for the ground - makes it a bit tough to mow around, but very ornamental.

It is in a bit more sun than it probably likes, so is a bit leggy, but is putting on new leaves now and is starting to flower, so hoping for fruit this summer or next (2011-12)

Tried some at Tropical Fruit World (love that place!) and just had to buy a tree! I think I'll have to be patient though, apparently very slow growing and slow to fruit.

have since read that it needs a lot more water than i have been giving it, so i applied wettasoil, sugarcane mulch and seasol and more water and it's rewarded me with lovely new growth. will keep up the water from now on.

I live in Newcastle. Planted in ground 2 years ago. Growing slowly, but very bushy and healthy. The new growth is pretty reddish leaves. Hasn't fruited yet, but this may take a couple more years. Only 1m tall at present. I water at least weekly during the hot months, and monthly during the cooler weather if it is dry. I only feed it Seasol, Thrive flower and fruit and ocassionly fish emultion. No pest yet. Will prune when it gets to 2 metres, as I want to reach all the fruit :)

I'm growing this as a hedge and am very happy.

It tends to grow upwards and I have been pulling some of the branches to the side to get it to fill out.  Very happy with the result

I prune every three or so months to keep the hedge look. After 2 years it hit approx 2 metres, my desired height.  We did a renovation at about the time, lost one and damaged another.  The damaged plant was stressed and has now started to fruit.  The others have not yet.

Very happy with the hedge, very hapy with the fruit.

My three year old loves to go and check if there are fruit and eat any that are ready

Hi Simon in sunny Brisbane.Good photos. We had one in northern NSW.Slow to start but at 5-7yrs flowered & fruited profusely.We watewred to establish when young then it really looked after itself. A very dense tree, branching more as it got older 1.5m W x 3+m H. I hope your hedge goes well, you'll probably get loads of fruit.

Interesting little tree. Still too immature to fruit. I bought it because I also have the black variety. It hasn%u2019t done a great deal since planting but it was planted late in the season so spring might see some advancement.

Jaboticaba - Grafted (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

This little guy was going great guns, fruiting well at a young age. But this seemed due to stress from a bad graft, which gradually opened into a wound, and with all the wet lately, rot got in there and it lost the will to live. Have replaced it with a very large Jaboticaba.
