Harvesting some red jaboticaba fruit again, after 7yrs of being planted out in the grove. I’ve been harvesting fruits for a good 3yrs now, but production is up. Some years are much better than others, depending on rainfall and heat. This year was very poor, but we’re getting a nice late crop. I think next year should be much better. I think this could be a great alternative crop for Blueberries and Citrus in some states.

Vid is superb this time… in all aspect. I enjoyed watching Adam. Keep it this way. 🙂
Great video. Working hard on my jabo army! Thank you
When I'm picking strawberries I'll always pick them right into berry pint boxes so I don't need to handle them a second time. Definitely recommend this for your jaboticabas, can help your yields a ton especially if you plan to store them, at least for strawberries one bruise can rot quick and mess up a whole batch. Works great when you take a crate and line the bottom with as many pints possible and just let the fruit drop right into the pints.
hey you shipped my order today! i had a jabo at a rare fruit tree sale a few years ago and i loved it. black thick skin sweet and tart! cant wait to try the red😁
Thanks for clarifying astringent vs non-astringent jabo varieties. The first time I had sabara, it was disgusting…apparently not ripe even though super dark/almost black. Wish I'd been warned! Almost gave up on it, but the ripe fruit are delicious. Great info!
Bro how to fertilize them?…also is Escarlatte astringent?
What spacing do you have on them jabos?
bro..killing it. the tree are looking beautiful.
