🍇 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.

🐊 Can you grow a Crocodile? This is how to grow an Alligator...

Microsorum musifolium - Alligator Fern, or Crocodile Fern - is from Australasia.

👽 Very unusual looking, epiphytic fern with cool alligator-skin looking leaves. The strikingly shaped, light green fronds of the fern form a lovely backdrop to its stunning stiff, leathery, dark green alligator-skin foliage.

Grows to 2-3 ft in height. Grow it as a houseplant, or plant under a tree.

🌳 Perfect for shade! Likes a sheltered, semi-shaded location, with no direct sunlight.
