Juul's Edible Backyard

Jaboticaba ^9/10

Comments: -

I have an old tree and so impressed by the taste of fruit and harvest. I am planting seedlings all over my yard and calling it 'my vineyard' since they take so long to grow. They taste similiar to grapes or lychees but far better, in fact they are my ultimate favourite fruit. My parents have made their own wine from them.

Fruiting Months January, February, October

Planted: 1998

Height 5 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Fruit Harvest: 30 kilograms per Year

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Spring

Pollination: No

When I Fertilise: Never

Question:

I have a few ideas and I am wondering if it is possible to speed up growth. Has anyone tried planting a few Jaboticaba's in one hole? Or perhaps pruning the bottom stems? Or fertilising with something in particular in springtime? I wonder if their native heritage gives any clues about how to possibly speed up growth.
