This tree takes about 8 years to began bearing fruit.
Jabuticaba The Tree that Fruits on its Trunk
Otherwise known as the Brazilian Grape Tree, this plant is native to South America, notably Paraguay, Argentina and (obviously from its name) mostly from Brazil. The fruit, a succulent looking purple color, can be plucked and eaten straight from the tree.
It is also a popular ingredient in jellies and is also juiced to make a refreshing summer drink. What is more, it can be fermented and made into wine and strong liquor. After three days off the tree the fermentation will begin, so sometimes, there is no choice; honestly.
If you want one of these in your garden,
then you have to be patient. The tree takes an age to grow, but once it reaches maturity it is worth it. However, it has proven to be very adaptable and, although it prefers moist and slightly acid soils, it will even grow well in an alkaline type soil.
The flowers themselves appear on the tree at most twice a year naturally. They look like some strange alien creature that has deposited itself on the trunk and branches.
The habit of flowers doing this makes them cauliflorous. Instead of growing new shoots, these plants flower direct from the woody trunk or stem.
