Jaboticaba Tree Details

Jaboticaba Trees

The tree the Jaboticaba fruit grows from is a slow-growing evergreen tree. This makes it an excellent tree for your front yard. The tree's height can be controlled if pruned, but it can grow to 15 meters tall if left alone. The leaves start as a pretty light pink salmon color and transform into green leaves as the tree grows.

This tree does well with rich, moist, slightly acidic soil. This tree is tropical but can sustain various temperatures, including mild frosts. Still, if you live in a region that gets below 26 degrees, the Jaboticaba tree will not survive long. Luckily, this tree can be grown in pots because of its fibrous root system.

Jaboticaba Fruit Details

Before the fruit of the Jaboticaba tree sprouts, white cottony flowers grow on the bark of the tree. Once these fuzzy flowers bloom, fruit sprouts in their place. The Jaboticaba fruit begins with a light green color and matures into a dark purple when ready to be picked and consumed. The Jaboticaba tree can flower and sprout fruit 5-6 times a year if treated with care.

The fruit is best consumed fresh because the fermenting process begins quickly, only 3 to 4 days after harvest. Due to this fast fermentation, the fruit is also commonly used in jams, wines, and liquors.

The Jaboticaba tree comes in various styles, each varying slightly from the next. Check out the chart below to find the perfect Jaboticaba tree for you.

Taste of Jaboticaba Fruit

Jaboticaba is a type of fruit that is native to South America, particularly Brazil.

Scientific name: Myrciaria cauliflora

It has a unique flavor, described as a cross between a grape and a guava, with sweet and tangy notes.
The fruit is small, typically 1-2 inches in diameter, with a juicy texture and a slightly floral aroma.

The skin of the fruit is typically purple or black and its flesh is white and seedless.

Jaboticaba is widely used in South American cuisine, often eaten fresh or used to make jams, jellies, and other sweet treats.

It is a nutritious fruit, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

The fruit is now widely grown in tropical regions around the world, and its popularity continues to grow due to its unique flavor and versatility.

The Brazilian native plant we're talking about is an exquisite, unhurriedly growing shrub-like tree adorned with a reddish bark that peels gracefully. It boasts numerous elegant stems, each adding to its allure. The tree bears grape-like fruits, encased in a robust skin with a luscious, melt-in-your-mouth pulp. What makes it truly unique is that these fruits grow directly on the trunk of the tree. To ensure bountiful fruiting, it is advisable to refrain from pruning the tree, as the fruits develop on mature branches. These delectable treats can be enjoyed fresh, used in jams, transformed into exquisite wines, or preserved whole to savor all year round. The fruits ripen at irregular intervals throughout the year, with a particularly abundant harvest in late spring.

When you grow jaboticabas in containers the average height x width is: 10' x 8'
Applying Fertilizer

Follow the product label instructions or the recommendations below:

Apply granular 8-3-9 NPK fertilizer or a comparable alternative for fertilization. Every month, distribute one level tablespoon of fertilizer per foot of tree height, excluding November and December. For fully grown fruit-bearing trees, disperse one fourth cup of fertilizer per foot of tree height right after harvesting fruits and continue monthly applications until November.
