100% Success Rate Grafting - Clone Jaboticaba Trees - Anomaly, Malacacheta, Lemongrass, Zona Da Mata 

Very delicious!

I hope to visit there someday!

I wish you the best of luck. I think the most important thing to prevent it from failing is to keep the graft union secured using stakes or dowels so it cannot move at all even in the wind. Let us know if you are successful.

Thank you! I am glad you liked it. Let me know if you give it a try and how it goes.

Thanks bud. Let me know how it goes for you.

That is amazing you are getting into this at a young age. I am sure you will find a way to get some fresh jaboticaba seeds. I would suggest joining some facebook groups related to plinia/myrciaria in Europe. They often have people willing to sell there. Also you can check out TropicalFruitForum and see if there are people in Europe who have posted seeds for sale. Taste wise, I think ripe jaboticaba is delicious and there are different varieties that taste a little bit different. It is like a mix of grape, and then some other berries. Sabara, the most common variety is very good with a grape, blueberry flavor and has smaller seeds than most varieties. It almost tastes like grape soda pop. Red hybrid has more of a multi-berry flavor than the Sabara. The standard Aureana (branca, white) is mostly sweet sugar without much berry or grape flavor. Escarlate (Scarlet) also has a bit more of a berry flavor than Sabara, but maybe not as much as Red hybrid. I need to taste more Scarlets to get a better idea where it ranks.

@@GrowTropicalFruits Thanks a lot I took notes from your comment and I will try to find seeds that are already in Europe! In terms of taste it sounds really nice I think I'm going to start with the red hybrid or the escarlate as it seems that they bear fruits early compared to others crosses or species. So that I can later on graft onto a mature rootstock other varieties and make a cocktail jaboticaba tree!

Thank you, I hope to create many more clones this way.

Thanks John!

That is a great suggestion. Probably a good idea to do that after taping it as well as after removing the tape on the finished graft.

@@GrowTropicalFruits yes I usually line up, tape(parafilm/buddy), rubber band then sometimes tape over the rubber bands. After they are cut free I may remove the outer grafting tape and let the rubber bands stay a little while to further support before eventually totally removing. Great vids!

Sounds like I need to try that! Thanks for the suggestions!

I found that I've gotten a tighter fit by using zip ties over the buddy tape , plastic or parrafin wrap

I do have some jaboticaba seeds listed on my Etsy page. You can find the link on the "About" page of my channel.
