Jabuticaba outside the tropics!

Another guy around here has one and left it out at around 40 degrees last fall. It did not like it at all.

In their native grounds here in south Brazil, yes they are resistant to frost. But the most we get here is dew freezing over night and melting as the sun rises, and even in the ground all their canopy dies because of it, losing branches in the process and resprouting later. In pots it's even worse, if you let yours get frost, in the best case you will loose branches and in the worst your plant can die.

Good to know. I was led to believe they could take much more.

Collected about 10 fruits in the ground last December. Removed the pulp, Cleaned and sowed. They all sprouted no problems. Culled down to two now.
They were in full sun and Got some sun scorched leaves. Moved to semi-shade and they seem to be growing ok.

I’ve had mine for about 6 years. I’m in 5b/6a, and keep it in a south facing window all winter with no attempt to mist or humidify, and it does just fine. It doesn’t grow super fast, but it puts out long, strong extensions a couple times each year. Two years ago I took cuttings from a few of these strong extensions, and 3 of them (about 50%) took. Since my indoor space is limited, and I don’t want to go through the trouble and expense of putting together an adequate light setup to expand it, I planted them together this past summer to make the small forest pictured.

Hope mine thickens up that well in the next few years!

Mine , Spring time will be repotted into a better looking pot.

Nice looking tree! Wish mine would fill out like that!

Finally getting some outside time on a regular basis. Lots of new growth but no back budding at all. I really like the small lower branch shape but it lost all its leaves last winter. Hoping maybe it will show some new growth with being outside but I am having my doubts.
