7BQ.Problems with Jaboticaba leaves
I have a Jaboticaba tree, now three or four feet in height and about one year old, in our garage under a sun lamp and developing a powdery substance on its leaves. I am in NJ zone 7b. It is late October. I generally water from above and it is planted in a pot with drainage but it is level, meaning the top roots are not above the dirt. I would say top leaves look like they are developing what looks like a looks "powdery mildew." I do not want this exotic to die and would love for it to eventually flower and fruit.....though I do only have ONE tree. 1. How to improve its health? 2. How could it ever bear fruit? Any advice it helpful...Gina, NJ

October 22, 2015A.Powdery Mildew is usually easy to identify.
Usually caused by damp conditions and lack of air flow.
Treat the plant and perhaps adding some air circulation in your garage area may improve the damp conditions. Don't aim it directly on the plant.
Here are some links for you.

irvine, CA. USAQ.Problem with Jaboticaba tree
The Jaboticaba tree is about 15 years old. It has given lots of fruits last year (actually multiple crops). I just noticed that the leaves are changing colors - and the tree looks like it is not doing well. See attached pictures of leaves turning reddish color and the normal color leaves. I am trying to identify what is the cause - disease? lack of or too much water? nutrients? Please let me know if you can help. sincerely zvi peshkess zvipesh@gmail.com

Certified ExpertA.Brown leaf tips are usually a result of underwatering and drought, excessive fertilizer, or damage from high salt content or other toxins in the soil. See this article for more:

17036Q.Jaboticaba (MYRCIARIA CAULIFLORA) leaf drop
My jaboticaba dropped a TON off leaves after I received it from Florida... It took just a couple of days to get here but I placed it in pretty bright sunlight. I did not report it but at one point it did dry out. It appears pretty root bound. Is it going to be ok? It's about two feet tall and went from living outside to being a house plant...

June 18, 2020Q.Jaboticaba dropping its fruit
I have a jaboticaba tree in a large pot which is a good size for it and it also produces buds and flowers and eventually I see the little fruits which are still green, but then the fruits remain small and turn black and just fall off. Please help because I really want it to produce the proper fruit.

October 3, 2021Q.Insects On Jaboticaba Bush Soil
HEEEELLLPPPP! What are these creatures in my Jabo tree/bush soil. I already cleaned about 100 off the soil. Watered it and then a half hour later more! Should I quarantine my tree/bush? What can I do to get rid of them. I also noticed a bunch of little red worms too.

Certified ExpertA.Worms are fine, millipedes are not, at least in these numbers.
Millipedes will resort to eating living plant material, which can start to damage your tree. Control is simple, though. Bait traps that have carbaryl will take them out. Keeping the debris swept up will prevent them from staying around the area.
