I bought a grafted one which will be bearing fruit soon here where I live. But since that is Manaus, AM, Brazil I think it would be a bit difficult for you to get one of them. The plant I got was about 3 feet tall and cost about 20 USD.

Yeah, I don't believe that would work out so well. I'm hoping someone in Florida will be trolling the nurseries and remember my plea!

I had a house in Fort Lauderdale until last January. I had a beautiful jaboticaba that was probably 25 years old on the lot and another one that was maybe 15 years old. The purchaser tore down the house and the jaboticabas went with it. I used to live in Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil many years ago and there is the kingdom of the jaboticaba. You might try the tropical fruit societies in Broward and Miami Dade county. A lot of people in these group cultivate jaboticabas and know where to get them. I knew a woman in Broward county that did great bonzai with jaboticabas. But, I have long since lost her contact information.

When we were passing by California a few years a go we made a quick stop at Anderson nursery. I can't quite recall the location,
anyhow, they had some in 15 gallon nearly 10 feet tall some in 5 gallon 4-5 feet tall. Very very nice!

Jay,

I believe I saw some on the website for Top***tropicals. They are located in Florida and do mail order.

Yeah...I've seen them as well on their site. Most of their items are terribly overpriced compared to others. A lot of their "rare" fruits can be obtained elsewhere at half or even a third of the price.

I live in south florida and have seen many good sized grafted trees (3-6 ft), at a nursery called spyke's. I am planning on buying one.

Maxwell, are you sure they are grafted trees? Everyone I've spoken to about them all make it sound like no one grafts these plants for sale. When you get to the nursery, please get all the info you can on the plants...age, size, time to fruit, and anything else you can. I would appreciate a response as to what you find and about your purchase. Pics if possible. Keep in touch on this. Thanks! Jay
