Plinia cauliflora
Jaboticaba Paulista – a captivating tree known for its large, thick-skinned fruits! This ornamental variety stands out with salmon-pink new leaves that mature into lush green. Slow-growing and evergreen, it thrives in moist, slightly acidic soil. The tree boasts unique white flowers directly on the trunk and can flower and fruit multiple times annually. Its compact roots make it suitable for pots. The 3–4 cm diameter fruit resembles a slip-skin grape, with sweet, gelatinous flesh and purple skin housing 1 to 4 seeds.

Treat any disease problems with a fungicide.
Customer Reviews
My Paulista variety arrived, it looks amazing. Tall about 50cm and healthy, valued money. Their leaves are more curly, longer, bigger, more pointy than Sabara. This it slow growing variety but waiting worthy
I bought this and a Sabara Jaboticaba. They were packaged well and arrived in great condition. Both trees look very healthy and bigger and better than in the pictures.
