trikus starts with ... Also called Yellow Jaboticaba . This small growing shrub has finally given me some fruit . It was shaded by a large Laulau that has since been Yasi'fied . Has grown an extra meter easily in last year and had heaps of flowers a few months ago . Not much fruit though and a little smaller than expected .

Mike says... My 2 trees rarely fruit and will give up their spots for better trees soon.The name often given for this species Myciaria glomerata is not correct and is an error.M.tomentosa is also incorrectly applied to this species.It is Myciaria glazioviana or well it was until the genus changed to Plinia to be the same as the legendary cambuca. | About the Author Cairns 1st October 2012 7:58pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Sorry to read the above two entries about them being poor bearers, hopefully the taste will make up for it (am also attempting to grow some of my own). Mike, the botanical name given to these sure makes it hard to search,seems they're widely called different names - I have 2 plants from two different nurseries and their different names had me puzzled as to which was correct (M.glomerata & M.glomifera.) Thanks for providing correct name. | About the Author VF Wongawallan 4th October 2012 6:31am #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... VF M.glomifera? With triple bunger composite name bungling like that what chance is there of finding info? My brother has a fruiting one and he says it is almost as good as the common sabara with an apricot thing going on.Unfortunately it seems Australia drew on the shallow end of the jaboticaba gene pool when they were first imported and then messed up the names. | About the Author Cairns 4th October 2012 8:31am #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Thanks for the info Mike - for those on a steep learning curve like myself it makes it hard. Sounds like the fruit does taste good, and I'll look forward to it. Regarding dodgy names, I've seen common fruits misnamed too - Citrus aurantiflora for Limes (C.aurantifolia) springs to mind. BTW, do you have the correct name for the large-leafed Jab? | About the Author VF Wongawallan 4th October 2012 6:51pm #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... The yellow jab should bear better in cooler climates. It can take two years of false starts, with flowers but no fruit set, but they get there in the end. cross pollination definately helps and my larger one has a new friend quickly catching up! There is a nice bushy one in the botanic gardens that gets smothered in flowers, fruits and quite often has small seedlings pop up around it, that are easily transplantable if you get there before they are 'controlled' by the groundsmen. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 5th October 2012 7:56am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Cabeluda I got 2 Cabeludas from Daleys a while back and have kept them in pots in half shade. However the leaves have become burned and bleached from the small amount of sun they receive and I have now moved them to full shade. Is this usual for Cabeludas? Are you growing them in full shade also? Thanks. | About the Author Linton Springvale, Vic 1st December 2012 10:01am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |
