Jabuticaba - Brazilian Grape Tree
The weirdest fruit tree ever, Jabuticaba produces sweet, shiny black fruit directly on its trunk and branches. It\'s native to Brazil, but has been grown in California since 1904. The fruits are delicious and their changes flavor each day.
The first day it tastes like guava; the second day like mangosteen; the third day lychee; the forth passion fruit; the fifth is sweetsop; the sixth to the eighth is grape. The best flavour is on the ninth day when the fruit is perfectly ripe - divine. Beware pirating squirrels!
Jabuticaba is at home in zones 9 through 11 and will tolerate a brief freeze. It makes an amazing bonsai in any climate. The peeling red bark is almost as cool as the black fruit.
Seeds germinate in about a month. 2 parts peat, 2 parts coarse sand and 1 part perlite or compost. It can take from 8 years for a seedling to bear fruit. Its slow growth has kept it from becoming as popular as it should be.
Seeds are extremely rare. These are still in the fruit for safe keeping and will be shipped that way. They\'ll be a smooshy mess, but they\'ll be very alive. Plant immediately!
