Hundreds of Rare Brazilian Jaboticaba Trees in California. Luiz' Unbelievable Plinia Collection. 

Greetings SD Dan! Many thanks for taking time to watch the videos. Sorry about the quality/clarity of the Luiz' first video. I had a rendering problem that caused that. I was really happy to get it straightened out for this vid. Your comments about the filming and presentation truly means a lot to me and brought me a huge smile. If I had more time I'd get a little more fancy with the editing but I stay too busy tbh. Have a fantastic rest of your weekend!

Hello Satrangi! 👋

Thanks for visiting

Thanks have a great weekend as well!

Thanks for noticing that haha! I kinda snuck that in and the air horns for the Diamantina but didn't want to go overboard with effects. Hope you're doing great! g

Much appreciated my friend

Many thanks 😊 🙏

So nice of you Mccbay!

Thank you! You too Gupshup 😊

I've gotten hooked on jabos personally. They're so addictive to grow and fruit. Thanks for visiting!

Well said! I thank you for taking time out of your day to watch the video. I had a wonderful time visiting Luiz.

Big thanks to you friend Erlinda

Much appreciated my friend

Couldn't agree more! Luiz has one of the best collections. Many thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Hey Sandor 👋 . You enjoying your pool yet? Surprisingly we're just now getting hot here. Yes, Luiz is the #1 jabo man imo. Thanks for watching broski 🙏

I actually watched your video while I was lounging in the pool 😂 Yes great collection and enjoy the warm up 👍😁

It's spectacular! Maybe jabos will become more available to your area before too long. Thanks for your visit Peter 😊

I appreciate you watching Dan! The weekend is going great. I hope yours is too!

Very much so, thanks Lilhemy!

I appreciate that so much! Luckily with my travels I am able to catch up with my buddies pretty regularly. Even though I do have a few more tours recorded I really need to get back to showing more of my trees. My yard is just a total wreck right now lol. Have a great week my friend!

Thank you! You too!

Super thanks for watching!

Diamantina is undoubtedly the belle of the ball! Super thank you for coming by!! Been waiting for updates on your channel brother

Howdy Kelsey! Thanks so much!

Thanks for you time watching Destination Dero!

Thanks a lot Lahiru

Hello my friend 👋. Thanks a lot 🙏

Seriously incredible.

The fruits on these trees are super delicious! Thanks sis Bel!

Hi Bill! Yes I'm quite certain that the Ana de Diamantina will be in very high demand now. Hope your weekend is going well!

Thanks so much Joe! Have an awesome week😊

It's good that you have the Red Hybrid that way you will get fruits pretty soon if you are not already. Thanks for watching!

Hi Michelle! Thank you for watching!

Beware. Once you get going collecting these it so hard to stop lol. I appreciate you watching RC!

@@VirginiaFruitGrower I don’t doubt that! My addiction is bad enough as it is lol!

Big thank you Amin 😊🙏. Yes Luiz is a super nice buddy of mine and I'm always in awe whenever I get a chance to visit him. He occasionally sells trees on eBay and even direct sales. I have his contact information in the description just in case you want to ask him about anything. Hope you're having a great summer so far!

So nice of you Pherl! Thanks!

Hello my friend! He really does have an amazing collection that is growing almost exponentially each year. Hope you've been doing well. Have a great night!

Incredible really. Thanks a lot!

Obrigado meu amigo! I appreciate you watching

No kidding. Why travel all over Brazil to see amazing jabos when they are right there in his backyard lol. Have a wonderful day my friend!

Thank you kindly sir Alex!

@@VirginiaFruitGrower Thanks for the great video, cheers!

Much appreciated my friend

Thanks for stopping by Rubi!

Thank you AYP! They are so ornamental and fruitful once they get mature enough

I appreciate it 🙏

Well, I just learned what a nasturtium was from you lol 😆. I can't half tell what different flowers are as I don't really pay attention to them. But yes he's got such an amazing garden and greenhouse very well organized. I'm sure you're busy, but do you have any other videos coming up? Your channel is exploding!

@@VirginiaFruitGrower yeah haha. Nasturtiums are edible and pretty spicy! I’m actually on here today because I’m in the process of finally uploading a video haha. I am working on being more active on here again. We shall see!

Hey Abel! Yes that was my thoughts exactly when I first met Luiz. I love hearing him pronounce all the names correctly. Big thanks for watching. I hope your trees are doing well 🤜💚🤛

@@VirginiaFruitGrower big stretch to call them trees but I soon hope to get more growth on some as I’ve realized they take the outdoors better in the warm parts of the year.

Yep it's the ultimate jaboticaba collection 😍. Gift haha 😄 . Thanks so much for watching!

Howdy firiend! So amazing right?! Super thanks!

Tons of amazing jabos in there

Mark is pretty old school. He's been at the rare fruit game forever. I was so happy to finally meet him in person. Thanks bro for watching!

Thanks a lot ❤

Terima kasih kawan sudah menonton

You too my friend

He's a wizard with his jaboticaba trees. Thanks!

I appreciate it Young! You pick up that "Diamond" yet? 😄

@@VirginiaFruitGrower : lol…..I’m tempted to, but I have no more extra $ to play with.

@youngsgarden8766 gotcha. That kitchen remodel is top notch though 👌

Thx. I might come back to do the cooking channel again one of these days. Lol

Many many thanks

Luiz certainly has a tremendous collection. I'm not sure if he really has to protect them where he is at. They seem to do okay in the winter for him. Thanks a lot for watching XmenFile

❤​@@VirginiaFruitGrower

Agreed!

Thanks a lot Dave!!

Thanks for watching good sir! Hope all is well amigo!

Without a doubt! Thanks for stopping by vegantrader!

Thanks for the kind words 🙏. Have a wonderful day!

He most certainly is. Thanks for dropping by!

Thanks a lot

Hey Lady Belle. Much love!

Many thanks Kim! Yes he gave such a great tour and really has the passion for these trees. His greenhouse is a total production machine and like you said not one inch of wasted space. I appreciate your time watching. Happy 4th!!

Hi dear friend Sopia!

Woo-hoo! Thanks Tiny Jungle 🤩

Hey Cheek! Yes that little greenhouse is a serious production machine. Yes the rootstock for the most part is matched up in diameter pretty well even though they are in very small pots. It's pretty amazing. I'm thankful for your time watching. Have a great day!

Luiz is the master of these plants. Thanks a lot!

It's almost overwhelming but wait until the greenhouse tour 🤯

@@VirginiaFruitGrower greenhouse was super amazing. So many grafted rare jabos under one small roof.

You could be growing these too actually as you're lucky enough to have a suitable growing zone.

Thank you! Cheers Vian Fam!

Much appreciated. He has an advantage over most all other US growers being that he is able to bring all these back directly from his trips to Brazil.

Yeah boi!

😃😃

They are really starting to catch on. In just the last 3-4 years the amount of varieties available is mind boggling. I hope you're able to get some new faster fruiting varieties soon! Thanks for visiting!

Hi Bob and thanks for your time watching. I think most people are mostly trying to closely control the growing conditions of their precious jabos at least until they are at at decent size to plant in ground. Yet many will still prefer to continue to grow them in pots long term. These are not like $30 apple trees that you can shrug off if they die. Early on a lot of these trees and even seeds were super expensive like upwards of $500+ for 1-3gallon trees. That's why lots of hard core growers really try their best to keep them happy. Jabos really much prefer acid growing conditions or they will not flourish. Sabara and Grimal are pretty tolerant of a lot of different growing conditions so they get planted a lot straight into the ground. One other reason is that at least for Sabara it was a very common variety. Red hybrid, Scarlet and many others are getting a lot more easy to source which is great.

🙌

Much appreciated Weng 🙏

Hopefully at some point these will be imported to the UK but yeah it seems like an extra long and challenging process to grow them there. Thanks for watching B!

I believe it is just a mister to keep humidity levels up. Thanks a lot for watching 1azbuddy. I hope your Scarlet tree is doing well.

Hi and thanks for watching! Luiz sporadically sells on ebay and sometimes does direct sales. If you look in the video description above I put is contact info there if you want to try messaging him. Good luck!
