Don't tell me theese trees grow blossoms and fruits right on the trunk?

Is'nt Mother Nature wonderful !!!!. Im really enjoying these posts.

hi, nick and will.. it is on the trunk! this is not a special glue! the grow in the trunk and are very sweety... i use to make with sake like a drink or eat the like shown in that post and in another one.
i may post a few more..

I have a nice jaobaticaba in training, but I've yet to see it bear fruit. It is fascinating how it does so on the trunk. Can't wait till mine does.

I am speechless, don't know what to say , are they native to Brazil?any place to purchase one ?

Ed, you may be waiting a long time. It's a very rare occurrence to get a Jaboticaba to make fruit when in a bonsai pot. Lots of urban legends circulated about what it takes. I don't know what is required. Maybe amazonida can reveal his/her technique.

hi, Ed for how long have you been taking care of yours?
yes they are native to Brazil, and you just find out here! sorry or because if you are planing to visit brazil, you' ll be able to get some seeds... and the technices...it's a little hard to explain in words...should i post some pics?

I have had my tree less than one year. I had another that died last winter. I was told that it would be okay in the cold. It was not.

Right now it's not in a bonsai pot. I have it in a 15 gallon nursery pot where I plan to let it grow out.

Here in Central Florida you can get jaobaticaba from Lukas Nursery in Oviedo. They have a number of them in ten and fifteen gallon pots.

If it never bears fruit that's okay. It's such a lovely tree by any measure. It's a favorite of mine.

Ed this is one of my favorite pieces. it has almost 26 years... here in brazil, we have developed a technique to accelerate the production.. some species takes 12 years to produce the first fruit! some, the hybrid, in 4 or 5 years... they don't like cold..remember, they are from Brazil... avoid the wind, it's not good to their foliage...
In Lukas nursery has some producing?
i like particulary the trunk..

No, none producing that I have seen. But like I said before, I love the tree for many other reasons.

I love the powerful trunks. I love the bark and how it flakes off. I love the small leaves and how the new ones look sort of pink. It's a great tree.

Can you experts give me some pointers on how well they like root pruning .I have one that I am going to put in a pot tomorrow. It will be the centerpiece on my dining room table .My only tropical .I have it soaking in vit b and root hormone till tomorrow .I will have a good amount of roots left on the tree to put it in to the pot but I have a tap root that needs removed and it has about half the total of roots.The tree is approx 8 years old.and I also reduced the height .Should I also defoliate to let it rest at all after repotting? Sorry for all the ???Any advice is appreciated.

Hello, I live in Brazil and if you want I can send some Jabuticabeiras Bonsais to You
