Jaboticaba

Myrtaceae

Small, bushy tree, it grows very slowly and seldom exceeds a height of 4m.

6 fresh seeds $3.50

None available until next harvest

The flowers give way to grapelike fruit but with a thicker and tougher dark maroon-purple, almost black skin. The fruit is produced directly upon the trunk and larger branches, singly or in clusters from the ground up.


The tree can bloom several times a year which can make it a real bonus in the garden.
