🌿 About the plant:


Jaboticaba, Plinia cauliflora, is famous for its cauliflorous habit - fruit forming directly on the trunk and older branches. During heavy fruiting, the bark can look almost studded with dark purple beads.

🏡 In the garden:


It prefers slightly acidic soil and steady moisture. Mulching helps maintain humidity around the roots. Though slow growing, it can fruit while still relatively small.
