Congrats! That's darned good growing for anywhere....never mind NY.

Harry

Great job...extra pat on the back to you especially for growing them in NY!! Well done LL.

Exciting! Please keep us posted on the progress of your tree, Lycheeluva! :-)

Is that 3 years from seed or from when you bought the tree? The tree looks huge if it's only 3 years from seed. Nice job on the fruit. I thought the jaboticaba's were pretty good when I tried them at excalibur last year.

Awesome! Any tips on how you did that so early? I just repotted my Jabo into a 3 gallon (peat/perlite/compost) so I'm guessing it has a ways to go.

alot of flooding in the spring usually causes jaboticaba to fruit.

are there any signs of cauliforous fruiting at all or are they all on the branches?

you might have one of the rarest Jaboticabas in the States, lol.

nice job LL,
your jabo looks great, it is interesting to see variation among them. Piece of cake, NY is zone 10 right?

keep it up,
-Ethan

meh, its not like you fruited a Mangosteen in New Jersey.

thanks for kinds words of encouragement everyone.

Mango kush- actually, i have a fruiting mangosteen, rambutan and lonkong tree in my backyard. I harvest several hundred pounds of fruit from each. They are unusual varities that can handle NY winters. Will post some pics once i resolve my camera problems.

Several hundred pounds of tropical fruit in NY? WOW! Wish we had such success! Keep it up!!! :-)

Forget the pictures, I would like to place an order for a pallet of mangosteens. Could you perhaps give me a bulk price?

Harry

lycheeluva, can you post pictures of your fruited mangosteen tree? Im pretty sure you dont have the real Garcinia mangostana/purple mangosteen. If so, please prove me wrong. Thanks!

i sense a little sarcasm here lol

its an inside joke in reference to the post below

Here is a link that might be useful: epic fail thread

Can we see a full picture of the entire plant, or at least more information on it?

tj- i assume u were asking for info about the jab-

this is the most recent pic of the jab

and here is a pic from a couple of years ago

i bought it as a 7 gal from jenes tropical about 3 years ago.

Did you forget to post pictures of your fruited mangosteen tree?

lycheeluva,

Very healthy looking jaboticaba! I would love to eventually get my container jaboticaba looking like that. How often do you repot, and what fertilizing schedule do you use?

I second this question.

Nice job ..

nice

curious as to the variety ?

Mine is Cauliflora / Red / Hybrid

got it from Pine Island Nursery as a 3gal a year and a half ago.

its fruited 3 times already... just 5-6 fruits at a time

but its faster than i was prepared for. Now i need to put it in ground. trouble is finding an area with full sun, BUT, will not let the plant dry out if it doesnt rain in a few weeks time.

i put 3 of the seeds in my seed-tray

and BAM... all 3 germinated...
