MYRCIARIA CAULIFLORA Jaboticaba Fruit Tree This is the very popular fruit tree known as Jaboticaba or Brazilian Grape Tree. Jaboticaba is pronounced in 5 syllables, Ja-boh-tee-ca-ba. This attractive tropical tree is slow growing, but eventually can reach a height of 15′-25′. It is a cauliflorus tree meaning it flowers and bears fruit along the branches and trunk which is very neat. Jaboticabas are very easy to grow. They like full to partial sun. The soil cannot dry out too much, keep it moist. It needs regular fertilization and freezing temperatures should be avoided. The best part of this fruit tree is of course THE FRUITS! The Jaboticaba bears grape-like fruits, but with a thicker skin which is usually not eaten like regular grapes. Inside is a delicious, sweet gelatinous white pulp which contains some seeds which can be swallowed. The fruit can be eaten out of hand, just pop open the fruit in your mouth with your teeth and enjoy the sweet pulp inside, throwing away the tough skin. Fruit can also be made into jellies, jams, etc. This tree is also good for Bonsai because of its small leaves and slow growing habit. We have heard that Jaboticaba is one of the only few tropical plants that can be grown as an indoor Bonsai tree. We have only grown this plant outside in South Florida where it grows easily.
