Jabuticaba propagation and pruning

Habits

Jabuticaba cannot grow without water. Tropical areas with frequent rainy seasons can usually provide it with sufficient irrigation, and sufficient light can also make it grow better and faster.

seed

When growing jaboticaba, the fruit is usually shelled, the seeds inside are taken out and set aside. When the flesh is almost rotten, the rotten part is removed with water, and then it can be planted. This method is the most common and applied, using seeds for cultivation and growth.

How to Graft

Nowadays, many fruits are grown by grafting. This method can make the cultivated fruits taste better and shorten the time it takes to grow fruits, so that fresh and juicy fruits can be obtained earlier. Although this method is fast, it has certain limitations. Only grafting around November in the second half of each year can ensure the survival of the seedlings. The warm and suitable spring climate is not suitable for the use of this method, which greatly reduces the planting efficiency.

How to take cuttings

The last method of propagation is a relatively easy one, but it is easy to cause yield losses. This method directly buries the branches of the jaboticaba into the soil for growth. Although the survival rate is low, scientists have developed a solution. Through a series of scientific means, the success rate of this planting method has been improved and has been widely used.

Pruning methods

Jaboticaba does not require too much management in the early stage, but in the later stage, the useless branches growing at the lower end need to be cut off. When it reaches a certain height, the protruding branches can be cut off to ensure the normal development of the fruit.
