These trees are grafted from mature, fruit-bearing specimens in Northland that have thrived for over 20 years. The Jaboticaba Paulista is a special variety of Plinia known for its large, sweet, and juicy fruits, which can grow up to 4 cm in diameter. It’s an early bearer, offering multiple fruiting seasons per year, making it a heavy producer. Its delightful flavor and high yield make it a must-have for any fruit enthusiast.
These grafted Jaboticaba trees can produce fruit in just 2-3 years with proper care, unlike typical trees that can take over a decade.
Jaboticaba plants care tips
Climate: Jaboticaba is a tropical tree that prefers warm, humid conditions. It can tolerate temperatures as low as 25°F (-4°C) for short periods, but prolonged exposure to cold temperatures can damage or kill the tree.
Soil: The tree prefers well-draining, acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Adding organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, can help improve soil quality.
Water: Jaboticaba 'Paulista' needs regular watering, especially during its growing season. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged.
Sunlight: The tree prefers full sun to partial shade, but it can tolerate some shade.
Fertilizer: Fertilize the tree regularly with a balanced fertilizer during its growing season. Avoid fertilizing the tree during the winter months.
Pruning: Prune the tree regularly to promote healthy growth and fruit production. Remove any dead, diseased, or damaged branches, and shape the tree as desired.
Pest and disease control: Watch for pests such as scales, mealybugs, and spider mites, which can damage the tree and reduce fruit production. Treat any pest problems promptly with an appropriate pesticide or insecticide. Keep an eye out for fungal diseases such as anthracnose, which can cause leaf spots and fruit rot. Treat any disease problems with a fungicide.
