โŒ Not Ideal for:

  • ๐Ÿ  Limited Indoor Space: Planning to cultivate your Scarlet Jaboticaba indoors? Ensure you have sufficient indoor space, as these trees can grow to moderate heights when nurtured indoors. Measure twice, plant once! ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒฑ
  • ๐ŸงŠโ„๏ธ Harsh Freezing Climates: While Scarlet Jaboticaba Trees can withstand occasional cold snaps down to 27-29ยฐF (-2 to 3ยฐC), caution is essential in regions with consistently freezing winters below 30ยฐF (-1ยฐC). Protect your tree during chilly spells to ensure its well-being. ๐ŸงŠโ„๏ธ

Planting Wisdom:

For planting success, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sun-Kissed Bliss: Ensure your chosen spot receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for robust growth and abundant harvests. ๐ŸŒžโ˜€๏ธ
  2. Soil Serenity: Optimal soil should be well-draining and slightly acidic, with a pH level ranging from 5.5 to 6.5. These conditions support healthy root development and nutrient absorption, setting the stage for vigorous growth. ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ

Planting with Precision:

When planting, pay attention to these key details:

  1. Select the Right Container: For container gardening, choose a pot that provides ample room for root growth. Begin with a 1-gallon pot for young trees and upgrade as they mature. ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŒณ
  2. Planting Depth: Ensure the root flare (where roots meet the trunk) is level with the soil surface. Planting too deep can hinder growth and fruit production. ๐ŸŒฐ๐ŸŒฑ
  3. Soil Care: After placing your tree in the hole or container, firmly pack the soil around the roots to eliminate air pockets and promote good root-to-soil contact. This ensures healthy growth. ๐Ÿž๏ธ๐ŸŒ„
  4. Mulch Magic: Apply hardwood mulch around the base of your Scarlet Jaboticaba Tree to enhance moisture retention, suppress weeds, and create a favorable microclimate for the roots. ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฟ

Caring for Your Tropical Treasure:

To ensure your Scarlet Jaboticaba Tree thrives and rewards you with abundant fruits, follow these essential care practices:

  1. Regular Watering: Consistency is key, especially during the growing season. Keep the soil slightly damp, not waterlogged, and consider using a drip irrigation system for precise moisture control. ๐Ÿšฟ๐Ÿ’ง
  2. Pruning: While minimal pruning is typically required, occasional shaping and the removal of dead or diseased branches can promote healthier growth. Prune during the dormant season to avoid disrupting fruit production. โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒณ
  3. Protection from Cold: In areas with cold winters, protect your tree from temperatures below 30ยฐF (-1ยฐC). Move container-grown trees indoors or to a greenhouse during freezing conditions to ensure their well-being. ๐ŸงŠโ„๏ธ
  4. Nutrient Boost: Keep your tree vibrant by applying balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and late summer. This provides essential nutrients for optimal growth and fruit production. ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ
  5. Mulch Marvel: Maintain a generous layer of hardwood mulch around the base of your tree to enhance moisture retention and suppress weeds. This creates a favorable environment for root health. ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฟ

By following these care guidelines, your Scarlet Jaboticaba Tree will thrive as a focal point in your garden, offering an endless supply of exquisite fruits and a taste of tropical paradise. Don't miss the chance to own this unique tree; order yours today and embark on a flavorful journey! ๐Ÿ›’๐ŸŒฟ

1. Shipping Stress: Transportation can be stressful for plants, particularly when they spend several days in a confined, dark environment. It’s common for plants to experience leaf drop during this period. Rest assured, most plants typically recover quickly and thrive with minimal aftercare. However, some may need extra attention, love, and care, requiring appropriate watering and exposure to gentle light post-unboxing.
 

2. Potential Physical Damage: Despite our dedicated efforts to ensure that your plants are securely packaged, they may incur damage during shipping and handling by UPS.

3. Long-Distance Shipping Considerations: Orders shipped over long distances, particularly to the western US, may take 3 - 5 business days to arrive due to various factors, including agricultural inspections in Arizona, California, and Texas. Such extended transit times can be particularly challenging for tender, young plants, affecting their quality due to prolonged confinement.

  • We take additional measures during packaging to facilitate a swift recovery of the plants upon unboxing.

  • Initial extra care and attention might be required over the first few weeks post-transport.
     

For further guidance, kindly review our detailed policies on returns and refunds, as well as our comprehensive plant care guide. We appreciate your understanding and patience in nurturing your new plants.
