Sweet juicy, fruit borne directly on the trunk makes this attractive shrub a great feature in any garden. Typically a slower growing plant and taking 5 years + to fruit. The fruit is similar to a red grape, but larger and even more delicious. The trees will eventually reach 3-5m, but take at least 15 years to get there.

 

They are easily grown in the warmer parts of NZ and will tolerate dry conditions and poor soils, though they will do better with some fertiliser and regular water. They prefer filtered light and acidic soils.  Once established they are surprisingly reslient to cold snaps and can handle the occasional frost.

 

An NZ Jaboticaba expert - Jake,  tells us that "they love to be fed Coffee Grounds and organic matter every 10 weeks. The magic growth temperature is between 20-25 degrees Celsius. They will handle up to 32 degrees Celsius but after that they start getting a bit sad, dropping leaves plus leaf burn.  The Jaboticaba thrives in dappled forest light. Direct sun always Stunts their Growth".

Thanks Jake!

 

They can bear several crops a year and are best eaten fresh, though they also make good jam and wine.

 

Plants are 2+ years old
