JABUTICABA

17/11/2008






Quando comprei o terreno para construir minha casa em 1970, minha esposa fez questão de plantar esta
Jabuticabeira.
E todos os anos é uma festa quando ela nos dá seus frutos.

Pupo: I never saw anything like this tree. The fruit seems to come out of the branches. I need to look it up on the internet.

What an amazing tree! First I thought you had photoshopped the berries! Funny, isn't it?
The fruits look like black currants, but currants grow in little panicles and not along the trunk! - Wikipedia will help!
Thank you for sharing this interesting tree! Your 40 year old tree in your garden is something special!

That is one weird tree, I had to check Wikipedia on it. Thanks for posting about it :)

Ha, I found it:
Jabuticaba is called "Baumstammkirsche" in German (cherries on a trunk), the fruits are as big as cherries and taste like a mixture of cherries (Kirschen)and red currants (Johannisbeeren).
Unfortunately export of the ripe fruit is difficult (or impossible) as it decays too soon after picking.

I am enchanted with your to our eyes almost fairy tale tree with fruits on the trunk and branches.
Thank you Maria for your resarch so that we non Brazilians now know what the fruit tastes like.
What a wonderful asset to have in your garden. I am sure you can bottle the juice and also make jelly.
Thank you for this wonderful post.
