It is pretty overwhelming for sure. Yes Oceanside is a city within San Diego county. It's close to Camp Pendleton where my son has done Marine training.
There are some videos of John-Travis and Flying Fox Fruits out there. It is amazing though that most of his collection is less than 3 years old, but very nice looking trees!!
I don't know if you've ever seen the value of these trees but the smallest grafted trees in his greenhouse are at least $250+ each in the current market. It's insane 😳
Yes a mini plinia forest! I figured it would be best to write the names at least the first time he mentioned a different variety. Luckily I was familiar with most all of the trees he had so it wasn't too difficult. Thanks for watching good buddy!
Wow what a collection!! I always admired them when in south Florida for the way the fruit grows on the trunk. Great video bud and looks like your having a great time!
He does have one of the most exclusive collections. Being Brazilian and traveling back and forth gives him great opportunity to get scions directly from the "jabo motherland". Thanks for watching my lord!
Aloha Tyler! I'm grateful for your visit 🙏. Yes definitely cool to see how other people are doing with their jabos. Would be cool to see your collection!
@@tcsmith78 maybe Disney lol and SeaWorld with the fam. I may have to sneak away for tree/fruit hunting lol. Otherwise I'm coming back down alone in September for a longer stay and should be able to do more fruit/tree hunting 😉
You and Luiz and your fancy trees being all obnoxious and making us jealous 😂 for real though I'm always fascinated by the varieties you share that I otherwise would never learn about 😍
Please pass along to Luiz that the curling of the foliage on the tree at 7:45 is most likely from chilli thrips (scirtothrips dorsalis). I say that with a high level of certainty from my experience fighting them at my families pepper farm. They do millions in damages each year. I’ve experience them at minor minor levels recently at my home nursery but unlike the monoculture farm I have a robust beneficial population that has got them largely in check. Foliage on that variety when it starts to push out tasty new growth. Is it green by chance? I’m my experience they seem to really favor green new growth to red or brown or purple new growth etc. I have limited variety and examples of Jaboticaba so far in my nursery but I’ve noticed along those lines they definitely prefer grimal to the red or sabara. They also really really really love blooms (no Jabo blooms here yet so no exp). People often think they’re just having bad luck with fruit set because of the weather or pollination though and that can certainly effect it but when you see mass flower abortion take them and slap them or a branch onto a piece of white cardboard or paper and watch for the tiny little chilli thrips that you almost can’t see with your naked eye unles you’re really looking for them. Once you find them they’re easy to find with a magnifier in the very newest buds and foliage as well as blooms and under calyxes of fruit. Another sure fire place to find them on a lot of plants is along the central vein on the underside of foliage. When you see the cracking that’s brown and almost looks scratched or like zippery almost even or bronzed. (I haven’t seen it on Jaboticaba) but they really love my cattley guava, peppers, etc) that’s chilli thrip feeding damage to the bloom and small fruit. If there are enough of them though it will simply abort. This has been my ted talk on chilli thrips. Feel free to reach out at GoodsonFruitCompany@yahoo.com ,Bryan
Hi Bryan! Thanks for your insight. Great breakdown and details about thrips. Something I hope to not have issues with. I'll be sure to mention this to Luiz the next time we chat. I appreciate your comments and time. Have a great rest of the week!
That's amazing; I only have sabara, red hybrid, and grimal. Are there any jaboticabas that get bigger than grimal and, if so, which ones? They are such delicious fruits just wish they were bigger.
So many to remember. I'm kind of used to doing this too. I liken it to remembering lots of peoples names and they way they look in high school or college.
Hi Annie! Top 2 most productive would be Escarlate/Scarlet and Red Hybrid. Id definitely get those two plus you wont have to wait forever for fruits if growing from seed. For the third selection, Sabara is like the gold standard taste-wise. Grimal is a favorite too.
They prefer acidic soil. Most jaboticaba growers use simply peat moss and perlite as potting medium for these at about a 80/20 ratio. Then add holly tone for fertilizer. Thank you for watching!
