What does Blue Jaboticaba taste like? A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

What does Blue Jaboticaba taste like?

🎈 What does Blue Jaboticaba taste like?

  • 🍇 Blue Jaboticaba - Myrciaria vexator - is full of fruit now! We enjoyed these delicious grape-like fruit.

  • 🍇 Also known as Vexator or Blue Grape, this charming relative of the Jaboticaba is as delightful to look at as it is to taste.

  • 🍇 It's a slow-growing, ornamental shrub or small tree that can reach up to 6 feet tall, with glossy leaves that add elegance to any garden.

  • 🍇 The plant produces dark purple, almost bluish fruits with thin, sweet flesh surrounding one or two large seeds, offering a flavor reminiscent of sweet grapes. Fruiting in late spring or early fall, these delicious fruits are typically enjoyed fresh or used in refreshing drinks.

  • 🍇 Though lesser-known in cultivation, Blue Jaboticaba can rival or even surpass the traditional Jaboticaba in fruit quality, with a single bush capable of producing several thousand fruits!

  • 🍇 It's also tough enough to handle light frost once established, and its care needs are similar to those of Myrciaria cauliflora. Whether you grow it for its beauty or for its unique harvest, this plant is sure to charm with every season!

How can you use Elephant Ears? A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

How can you use Elephant Ears?

🐘 How can you use Elephant Ears?

  • 🟢 Alocasias and Colocasias, or Elephant Ears, are both remarkable and popular plants that can bring a touch of tropical elegance to any garden.

  • 🟢 Striking Foliage: large, lush foliage. The leaves can be enormous, resembling the shape of elephant ears, hence the common name. The foliage is usually rich green, but there are also varieties with hues of purple, black, or variegated patterns. These vibrant leaves create a dramatic focal point.

  • 🟢 Tropical Aesthetic: large, architectural leaves add a sense of drama and create a stunning backdrop for other plants.

  • 🟢 Versatility: work well in containers, making them suitable for patio gardens. In larger landscapes, colocasias and alocasias can be planted directly in the ground, either as standalone specimens or as part of mixed border plantings. They can also be utilized around water features or in bog gardens since they enjoy moist conditions.

  • 🟢 Low Maintenance: thrive in full to partial shade. Regular watering and occasional fertilization will help them grow vigorously.

  • 🟢 Impressive Size: Some varieties can grow several feet tall, creating a stunning vertical element in the garden.


📸 Colocasia esculenta Jacks Giant: This astonishing elephant ear is well-named, it really does look like something that would grow for the giant! The foliage is absolutely massive, many feet long and wide, with a glossy texture, prominent ribbing, and a rich blue-green cast that lightens to chartreuse around the edges.
