Jaboticaba (Brazilian Tree Grape ) // How To Grow It // Why To Love It

[@mosi5348]

Jaboticabas are hands down my favorite fruit trees in my collection! Mine are in Promix medium with added growstone for drainage. Also added rice hulls and rockdust for additional minerals every 3-4 months. Extremely healthy fruited in 3yrs! Best tree to live with long term! Always love the content green dreams 🔥🔥🔥

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Mine too! Thank you

I just got mine. It s currently in a pot, can I reach you out for tips?

Dude , you’re always so quick to give credit to others for advice you get from others. Very cool.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

I just pruned the Jaboticaba that I got from you guys. Exposed the trunk like you do. I'm so proud of my little tree.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Awesome! Thanks

[@annieschiller]

Oh my gosh! Thank you for all this info! So generous and I love your "pro-tips" I'm a busy nursery manager, mom and landscape designer and I wish I could talk to more/other florida growers to learn, this gave me an opportunity to learn without having to seek out and visit (thought I'd love to be able to do that too). Again - Thanks!

We are moving to Naples, FL and our house has 1.14 acre I can't wait to planet my jabuticabas!!! Love the video

[@fernandocastro2066]

I am Brazilian and where I live here in Brazil we have lots of jaboticabas tree! When I was a kid I use to climb jaboticabas tree and eat lots of jaboticabas me and my friends had lots of fun! The only sad thing about climbing the three is anywhere you step in the tree branches will not grow jaboticabas again.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

So cool!

[@milkweeddreams8828]

Talk about timing, I just bought a beautiful specimen at Echo yesterday, so excited to prune, I love the bonsai look to them and that beautiful bark...yup, I'm hooked, planted near the Florida room so I can watch it grow, lol...so amazing and thanks for the tips, it really helps...!

[@FoodForesters]

Thank you for this info video!!! Our tree is planted in the ground and in full sun for over a year, the bark is peeling but all the leaves are greenish yellow since spring and we are worried so we gave it for fertilizer, no change. We will take your tips and see if we can improve the soil for it!!

Hi, I just got my first tree, and I am going to plant it. I came to your channel to review what kind of soil to plant it in. I am going to keep it in a pot. On a side note, I have not tasted this fruit yet. I have to say that as a native miami person, my favorite fruit remains the mango, and i love muscadine grapes, I think they do grow in homestead, (not sure) I am also crazy about florida avocados (sp). After seeing flying fox fruits grafting videos, I need to search around for my favorite avocados. Thank you for all of the good stuff that you do.
