Nice one Doug & congrat.. they truely look amazing and probarly taste great as well! I finally got my first Costada jaboticaba from Ross Creek Tropicals a few days ago and guess will need to wait at least 4-5yrs before the trunk is thick enough to start fruiting like yours.
Beautiful sight Doug! I just came in from the garden trimmed two of my Jaboticabas , got a nice pruner for Mother’s day & I had to put it into the test in the garden! 😄 Thanks for sharing it Doug.
Yes Eri , I can sit in front of my fruiting jabos and stare at the fruit for ages. They are a beautiful fruit. This is what you have to look forward to, hopefully soon!
The scarlet Jaboticaba fruits most of the year, so has about 4 rounds of fruiting. They are very sweet, it's the one I recommend if people are only going to grow one variety.
Fantastic mate! Good to see the shape they grow into. I'm also doing a jabo grove in part shade at the entrance to my place. I have the scarlet too! Well done mate
Thank you for your video..We live in zone 9B florida and I bought a Scarlet about year ago. I have it in a grow bag. It’s about 2 1/2 feet tall and has the same brown leaf spots that I’m seeing on yours. Is that typical?
Hey Crystal, most jaboticabas are very sensitive to fertiliser and it burns the leaves a bit, but they push out new leaves as they grow. I have been pushing mine as i wanted them to grow fast.
@@dougs_urbanfarm Thank you for answering back. That info on them being sensitive is probably what caused it then since I had tossed some citrus fertilizer on it. Much blessings🦋
how old is this scarlet jaboticaba? when did it start its first fruit? Was it grow from seed/ airlayered/ grafted? Which variety do u recommend? thanks
Hi Gladys this scarlet Jaboticaba is about 4 years old and this is the first real lot of fruit. It is a seedling, the fastest fruiting is red hybrid and it has a very nice flavour, I do love my Grimal jabos but they take about 6-8 years to fruit.
Hey Ben I have 4 of them in bags and 2 smaller ones in pots, not for any reason, they were just in these b4 I figured out where to put them. The red hybrids and scarlet are naturally smaller jabos and these are only about 4 years old. They have actually grown through the bottom of the bags so they may stay there now.
I have not tried costada yet, but the scarlet is very nice and sweet. Scarlet and red jaboticaba are the favourites of most of my friends and visitors.

So incredible! Your harvests will only increase more and more from those point. Wow!

Looking great Doug, really great seeing all that fruit, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Johnny.
Nice! How is this one doing now? Also wondering about the taste of the fruit.

Nice to find your channel. Beautiful Scarlet you have. Enjoy. Thumbs up and subscribed.
Cheers Pepe, I always watch your videos, they are a good source of information. I am just an amateur fruit tree grower, but I love it.
Quando puder venha participar de um grupo aqui do Brasil o nome do grupo é jabuticaba paixão nacional
Something is loving those leaves :D
We have a native bee called a leaf cutter that cuts a piece out of the leaves to plug their little den for the night. They love jaboticaba leaves!
@@dougs_urbanfarm Thanks for that info. I just thought it was caterpillars.
Wow! How long did it take for the tree to fruit? I have one going on 4 years.
These started fruiting at 4 years and by the 6th year is fruiting very well
Fantastic mate!
Good to see the shape they grow into.
I'm also doing a jabo grove in part shade at the entrance to my place. I have the scarlet too!
Well done mate
Hey Paul, that's awesome. Nothing says welcome to a fruit lovers home than a bunch of jabos.

Wow, the fruits look great!
Taste good too.
Are there escarlate seeds?
Very cool, looking good Doug 👍
Yeah Neil, they are a cool colour, actually ready to eat when there is still a little green on them.
Are jabos true to seed?...any slight variations among seedlings (taste of fruits,size) etc?
Yes mate they do grow true. There is not much variation in seedlings,at least in the few hundred I have grown.
Fantastic display Doug, so fortunate to be able to grow all those amazing plants outside 👍
Yeah Brett, sorta glad my ancestors got shipped outta the UK in chains.
looks amazing mate, i can't wait until mine start to flower.
Won't take long Gareth they are pretty precocious.

Beautiful! Are they all in pots or grow bags? Seems to be keeping by them small for that grove area.

The red hybrids and scarlet are naturally smaller jabos and these are only about 4 years old. They have actually grown through the bottom of the bags so they may stay there now.
Wow How old this plant
Hey Daniel this seedling tree is about 4-5 years old. The fruit are very sweet and delicious!
Just really want to know scarlet and costada sabra red hybrid which one has the best taste
I have not tried costada yet, but the scarlet is very nice and sweet. Scarlet and red jaboticaba are the favourites of most of my friends and visitors.
Thanks mate is that good grow up in the pot?
Which jaboticaba has the sweetest taste?
I would say scarlet with red hybrid coming in second. I still haven't tried pingo de Mel yet, that's meant to be even sweeter
Very nice work mate.
Have a multi grafted one for you in the works Andy.
@@dougs_urbanfarm thanks mate! I don't care what they say, ya a good bloke.
Those grafted?
Just seedlings.
Hi is it possible if you could send atleast one or two viable seeds to my address?
