'Grimal' Jaboticaba About to Bloom

[joe_OC]

My Grimal jaboticaba is about to bloom hundreds of flowers.  I hope they all pollinate to give me lots of fruit.

Can we get a shot of the whole tree? One of the most attractive jaboticabas imo

Seed grown? Props for your patience, and if it's not still props for getting it to flower

Red Hybrids have fruited for me.  I have 2 Sabaras that I hope will fruit soon too.  Scarlets will need a year or two.

Here’s a pic of the full plant.  Stands about 8’ tall.

Ah, jaboticaba, one of the few plants that really can take full sun in the south.

Great looking specimen and best of luck on pollination.

Thanks!  Not only full sun but cold.  Much much tougher than palms.
