- At the herb garden in Kobe is a greenhouse filled with wonderful tropical plants. Among them was a Jaboticaba that I think no one had idea that it was edible. What a rare find.. especially since it was filled with perfectly ripe fruits.

I first encountered Jaboticaba about a month ago while picking up some rare fig trees. The grower had Jaboticaba growing at the California Delta area which was full of fruit. I gave it a try and decided to get a couple of trees to grow here in Central California. The tree will actually tolerate a little bit of frost.
Ross this was too beautiful, amazing!
I have one grafted. Grafting they produce fruits much earlier, 1-2 years (instead of 12 to 20 years).
Nice. That's impressive.
Hey, I said something wrong here, sorry. Mine isnt grafted, its a Hybrid :P
I'm from a southrn area of Brazil, we have a lot of frost and sometimes ice/snow, it handles well. Now I am living in Rio and, well, everything grow much more in here.
I NEED to get one! 😂 Excellent video focussing on the unusual way the plant bears fruit.
That is very cool Ross and can you really just eat it in the garden, LOL. I have 2 of them, one is a tiny one about a foot high and the other is about 4' tall. I am in Arizona, but I have mine in pots and found that they aren't as sensitive to cold as much as to hot. If I have mine out in the sun, it can't take it, but I have it mostly under the shade. It grows really slow, and yes the leaves(especially the new one) get eaten a lot, but it keeps on putting new ones out. I have used neem oil spray to protect the leaves but it did not work. The smaller one is actually a bonsai, because they are such slow growers, they serve well as bonsai. The other one, the bark keeps peeling and they said that is a good thing, it means it is growing. There is a large tree that a master gardener had planted at his house near me. He planted it right next to his house in a secluded area with plenty of shade. It is about 4 times bigger than the one you are next to. It produces all the time and he said in the native Brazil, it lies under other trees. In Florida, I have seen where they just planted it out in the middle of the orchard. He actually past away a couple of years ago, but his son still has the house and still takes care of the tree.
Thank you for sharing, Garry.
We grow them in San Diego
You may be able to grow these indoors during the cold months in your area. They are very tolerant of shade and maybe next to a window is a good spot. For faster fruiting at a smaller size, try a red jabo or get a grafted one.
He’s really eating the skin? Brazilians won’t eat the skin at all.
You can eat the skin. In fact it has most of the nutrients, especially the antioxidants in the skin.
Excelente!
It’s not strictly tropical. I have several huge jaboticaba trees growing and bearing several time a year they grow in many climates in California
Wow how did you make that trip...???
Vacation!
Chances are if they included the Jaboticaba in their garden they know it has edible fruit.
Its kinda common knowledge among plant enthusiasts.
Where exactly is this?
Japan
Welcome.
I see a jaboticaba in your movie.
How much time do you have to wait for the first jaboticaba fruit if the tree is sown from the pit?
What kind of land is the best?
Will you introduce these varieties:
Red Hybrid
Branca-vinho
Grimal
Which of these high seas grow and bear fruit.
My seedling grown Jabuticaba fruited in 5 years, was well looked after in heavy stick clay soil down under.
I have 4 of these. Heres some tips:
It takes 8+ years for a Sabara variety to fruit. The red jaboticaba will fruit in 5+ from seed.
They like acidic soil: for pots - 70% peat moss, 15% compost, 15% perlite
To help them out in the pH dept, supplement chelated iron occasionally
They do good in the understory - dappled light is best but the sabara variety will take full sun when established. Be careful with the sun when young if it exceeds 85F
They are sensitive to nitrogen so be careful if fertilizing
They like the soil to be kept moist. They are extremely tolerant of wet soil. In there native land they can grow next to riverbanks and may be flooded for extended periods with no ill effects. I dont worry at all about overwatering mine.
Pruning will open up the trunk like the one in this video.
grow that shit anyway yolo lol
