Tran says... Mine was 3 years old when I bought it. It took my tree 10 years to have 1 fruit. It is in it third year of fruiting with 6 little ones. I was told that if you feed and water well it would take six years to fruit but mine I rarely water or feed it so flowers did appear earlier but just 3 flowers on one branch so I did cincturing every branch (a technique used to induce shy-bearing trees to flower). It is now 2 meters tall. I mulch heavily because roots system is very shallow. Anyway, it is reward to have this fruit tree after all. Good luch Tiffany. | About the Author Melbourne 30th October 2008 7:48am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

vanl says... Tran, 13 years seems to be a long time to wait for a single fruit and the tree is only 2m high :-). I believe mangosteens also take that long to bear fruit (we had a commercial fruit orchard in VN). I was wondering of what you think of the taste of the jaboticabas. I had a taste once and it is reminiscent of a large grape so it is not high on my fruit list. In Vietnam, I remember there is a similar tree that has similar fruiting characteristics (tra'i qua^\n qua^n) which I can't find an English name for. Cheers. | About the Author 30th October 2008 8:50am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tran says... Hi Vanl, Do you mean 'tra'i Ho^ng qua^n'? I don't know English name either but Jaboticaba tastes quite juicy not like the one mentioned above. I have never seen it in Australia but I have seen (Tra'i thanh tra) Marian Plum grown in QLD. Yes mangosteen also takes along time to fruit too. | About the Author Melbourne 30th October 2008 1:27pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anonymous says... Hi Tiffany, wet soil and fertilizer will make Jabot grows faster and bigger but I think it will still take at least 5 years to fruits. Have you try layering and cutting? I got one to strike with my cutting. I have had some luck with my cuttings lately, acerola cherry and rollinia are my unexpected successes. I don't use root hormone and only used plastic bag over the acerola cherry. | About the Author 5th November 2008 7:33pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Chrys says... Hi Trikus, Not all Childers/Isis district is red soil. We live 20km from Childers and have grey sandy loam. We also have Jabots and they fruited after only 2 years in the ground, possibly 2 year old plants when purchased. We had 3 crops so far this year and possibly one more coming before the real heat hits in Jan. As you can see it bears prolifically. Fruit is size of large cherries. Tree is about 1.5m tall. Just right for harvesting by kids (children). All it gets is one serve citrus/fruit tree fertiliser in early spring and lots of local sugarcane mulch prior to summer. It is on a timed irrigation from our dam and we are conservative about how much water it gets. Maybe not too much love is needed for these babies.

Mike T says... The jaboticabas fruit more frequently than just about any fruit tree.Both of my big sabara jabs are leaded even after several rounds of plucking.It would take a champion glutton to get through them.The fruit extend from the trunk(s) to the tips of the twigs and even a 'guts' like me has to admit defeat.

Mike T says... Mary they are sweet without much acidity and rather liquid inside and perish fairly quickly.The flavour is....hang on....ok I'm back...black grape kinda but they have their own pleasant taste.The common type M.jaboticaba var. sabara and the big leaf one M.spirito santo var. grimal are too big for pots perhaps.If vexator and red hybrid jaboticabas were in australia we would have ones that have big fruit quickly from seedlings even in pots. They don't seem like a jam fruit to me Mary but I could be wrong. | About the Author Cairns 2nd September 2012 9:50pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Jam/jelly can be made from Jab's - can buy from Tamb. Mt. local produce market. I bought some for my daughter recently - tastes nice enough, but nothing to write home about, as the flavour is mild. Could see it being tasty if made with mint, or lemon or aniseed myrtle, and served with roast meat. | About the Author VF Wongawallan 3rd September 2012 1:03pm #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... My large leafed jaboticaba (Myrciaria spirito santensis) or Grimal as they are commonly called has been producing well lately and these were consumed just now.The taste is better I think than the common small leafed jaboticaba (Myrciaria jaboticaba var.sabara) or just sabara variety.I have a number of other species with supposedly larger or tastier fruit I am keen grow to fruiting size.

Krydoll4610 says... Three photos of jaboticaba trees and fruit. Best crop ever, we've been in drought, rains came trees burst into flower. One tree is 10yrs and has born fruit for 4 years. Second tree is 5years & this is 2nd year of fruiting. Second tree fruits earlier, bigger size and quantity. Oldest tree has fruit growing on tips of branches not just trunks
