Customer Tips & Reviews Jaboticaba
TELEGRAPH POINT, NSW
Jaboticaba
Bought it for its 'unusualness' and suitability for my area. Doing well so far.
ELLIOTT HEADS, QLD
Jaboticaba
All 3 arrived with half brown leaves. Two are thriving (one had 3 half leaves left and came good in all this rain! with 15? new leaves) and one is still noncommittal about whether it wants to live or not. I have hope.

I had one previously for many years but lost it. My husband (who passed away in 2008) enjoyed the fruit from it for many years and I wanted another one. Thank you for your follow up.
Jaboticaba
Planted mine in an above ground garden filled with good manure from cows, horses and some well aged chook, it took two years to get it's feet and now it's taken off with new growth after new growth, hopefully fruits this year
Jaboticaba
Jaboticaba seems to fruit after a feed of slow release fertaliser and a good water. My tree seems to fruit twice a year.
FRENCHS FOREST, NSW, Australia
Very interesting plant, cant wait for it to grow and fruit.
LESCHENAULT, WA, Australia
These have really been a labour of love, and sheer stuborness, for me.There are not so many fruiting Jaboticabas in WA and they really sulk if the conditions are not right for them. They seem to loathe any lime and/or salinity - becoming chlorotic and ...
GEROGERY, NSW, Australia
have 2 in a pot for 1 year in shelter, planted out this year to get establisghed. hope it surves its first southern NSW cold winter.
EASTWOOD, NSW, Australia
When it arrived from Daley's, ALL the leaves had burnt tips which was disappointing. We had had a heat wave so it was probably caused by this. I transferred it to a pot, blood and bone and 100% organic compost. Moved to my verandah. It received sunligh...
TAMWORTH, NSW, Australia
Exotic, unique, different. It reminds me of a sun drenched far away place called Brazil where samba is the rule. Growing as an informal espalier at the moment making it even more unusual than the normal bushy multi-trunked jabo that I have seen at Dale...
STONY CHUTE, NSW, Australia
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 ...
WATERFALL, NSW, Australia
I picked this one up for a mere $30 when it was already 2m high, it has been identified as a Grimal. It is now planted in my front yard, the location is exposed to wind and gets plenty of sun.Lost most leaves in winter, put them all back on in spring.F...
Jaboticaba
Absolutely my favourite fruit.Cannot wait for next crop. Need to fight the birds though. My tree is only second year fruiting but neighbour has one a few years older and I have never seen so much fruit on a tree in all my life.

Remember, jaoticaba grows in nature at river margins, so it loves constant moisture!

Dry leave tips? Stick enough cotton around the edge of the pot or around the soil on the boundaries of the root.
EARLVILLE, QLD, Australia
I had a bit of trouble with this one when I first got it, the leaves where going brown at the tips. After a bit of reading, people seem to say that the plant needs a lower ph and to mix in a bit of peat moss and water with rain water, this should help....

Daleys grown plant, bought from CERES at the beginning of 2012. Constantly growing beautiful new leaves. Despite reading that they are slow to grow, this one has been a steady grower and has only just paused for mid Winter. Looking forward to the day i...
Inala, QLD, Australia
Love the intense grape-like flavour, and a very pretty small tree, delicate foliage. Mine won't be fruiting for a while. The one on the south side of my house is doing slightly better than the one on south-west. In my previous yard, the tree is almost ...
CALAMVALE, QLD, Australia
Now identified as large-leaved Jaboticaba!Myrciaria spirito santensis var.grimalTried 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.hav...
Wallsend, NSW, Australia
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 ...
Highgate Hill, QLD, Australia
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 resultI prune every three or so months to keep the hedge look. After 2 years i...
Brighton, QLD, Australia
Have not tasted the fruit yet. My tree is in the ground for nearly four years now and I hope it starts fruiting soon. Grows well.
Strathpine, Qld, Australia
Another delicious fruit which does so well in the Bribane region. Really looking forward to my first crop...still a few years away unfortunately.
CARLINGFORD, NSW, Australia
Good looking tree. Fruited first time after 6 years and the fruit is very tasty. The fruit is ripe when it turns black and soft when squeezed between fingers. Produces a good crop every year triggered by good rainfall.
ËIDSVOLD, QLD, Australia
Small neat looking tree. Fruit makes nice eat and also good to eat. In a good season it will fruit 3-4 times in summer.
Beaudesert, Qld, Astralia
Jaboticaba is a terrific fruit tree for the home garden for many reasons. It has an abundance of luscious fruit cannily hidden from scavenging birds as the fruit grows on the branches. It is a particularly good "grazing" tree for children. The fr...
mount Crosby, QLD, Australia
It seems truely exotic to grow grapes on a trunk. I can't wait till it gets over its planting shock. I have clay, rocky atrocious soil and hope it makes it.!!!!!
Sth Grafton, NSW, Australia
An attractive slow-growing pretty shrub, so far. The fruit grow on the branches and because they are hidden birds don't bother them. From the appearance of the small white flowers to picking is about 9 weeks and I can expect fruiting at least three ...
Unanderra, NSW, Australia
One of my favorite trees - hardy, aesthetic, compact, and delicous fruits. The large leaf version tens to be less wind resistant than the small leaved version.
Coolbellup, WA, Australia
Relativly new plant, have pout it in a pot for now so when I move house it can come too.
Wakeley, NSW, Australia
This tree lost all it's leaves in winter but came back before I chop it.
GORDON, NSW, Australia
Seems to be struggling in a sunny, hot position, thinking about moving them, leaves yellowing. Have been foliar feeding.After some good rain they are looking much happier so I shall leave them where they are.
Loxahatchee, FL
Jaboticaba
My fine leaf tree began bearing imediately after I installed a constant drip line that supplies water 24 hours a day with out allowing the soil to become saturated. I move the drip around so that the roots do not concentrate in one area.
Eagleby, QLD, Australia
Only new to my garden (sept 09) Growing well in the pot new shoots. Wil fertilize with the rest and prune if necessary.

Just started fruiting in last year. Tree is about 7 years old. Several crops a year. Needs to be netted to stop birds4kgs fruit picked spring 09.
Worongary, QLD, Australia
Dec 2012........Have had this tree for about 8/9 years now.........and I am just getting my first crop now. We had quite a dry spell (few months), and as soon as the rain came, it was covered in flowers, and yesterday I picked about 20 fruit the size...
LESCHENAULT, WA
I think these are small leaf one's.They are very slow! They seem to be ok - have some burnt margins - my research indicates they don't like salinity. At present they just sit there putting out a little new growth constantly. They do seem to be happier ...
Jaboticaba
I have had 2 lots of fruit now on my small leafed plant, they are absolutely beautiful to eat, they are like an aromatic lychee and hits the top of my list for most desirable fruit. My Yellow Jaboticaba plants fruit is not worth eating, but lovely plant
Bakersfield, CALIF
Jaboticaba
Very cold tolerant. Took two nights of 23 deg. F. and is coming back strong from tip to trunk.
Jaboticaba
The large leaf variety is a much faster grower than the small leaf variety. Grown in pots with constant watering cropping will start within a few years
Samford, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Jaboticaba
Makes the most wonderful Jaboticaba Jelly. Leaves can go very pale in hot weather - don't worry - all is well !!
Jaboticaba
Painfully slow growing. I had to wait 8 years before mine fruited but boy, once they get started! Fruit is like a leathery skinned, musky grape. Makes a great wine. Do not allow plant to dry out. Protect from insects and don't hold you breath.
