Does anyone know the minimum temperature a Jaboticaba can tolerate. I've left mine out in 27 degree temps with out any damage to the plant.

Hiya rkreeder. I read that the jaboticaba is a distant relative to the guava. I do have a 4 - 5 ft. guava tree that grows in a pot and is overwintering in my makeshift greenhouse. When the temp. dips below 30, I haul it in, not taking any chances!

Well my guava has experienced 15* and still has it's leaves,plus a foot of snow,not sure it will still be a live when the temps get back above freezing!!!

You're pushing it Tman!!! Lolol.

Anyway, folks on Tropical Gardening forum can testify that TMan is NOT your usual gardener. He not only has green thumbs, but all of him is green!!

How often do you test you blood sugar, Don? Heart disease is a complication, ya' know? We need you really, really bad. Puleeeze, take care of yourself.

This is my first today of anything sweet!!!
Check my blood sugar first thing every morning and right before I go to bed.
I try my best!!
Lot of things left in life I would like to do!!!
