What is Jaboticaba? I like the sound of this word!
Jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) is the most popular native fruit of Brazil that famous Brazilian Vine La Vino Tinto is made of!🍷
🟣 Grape-like purple fruit with a thick skin and delicious melting pulp somewhat resembling Northern Black Currant in flavor.
🟣 Trees grow very slowly and due to small leaves and dwarfish growth habit are often used as bonsai. Some old bonsai specimens can fruit.
🟣 Larger specimens are very valuable because it takes Jaboticaba up to 7 years from seed to start fruiting.
🟣 Similar to Mamey, Jaboticaba has cauliflorous fruit - that grow on main stems or woody trunks.
🟣 Jaboticaba is relatively cold hardy, mature trees are taking down to 23 F for short periods without serious damage.
